36 The reward of Charity. To a rich Friend.
Would'st thou be pittied after thou art dead?Be pittifull whil'st thou thy life dost lead:
If whilst thou liu'st, the poore thou dost releeue,
Fearing the like supply for thee they'll greeue:
If now thou giu'st them nought, when thou art gone,
They will be glad, hoping for a new gowne.
What haue Foolish men to doe with Princes Secrets?
