What thyng he feareth moste.
No stabbyng glaue, nor stickyng knife,Nor darte dread I, that reueth life.
No Fencers skill, no thrustyng pricks,

No chillyng cold, no scaldyng heate,
No grashyng chaps of monsters greate.
No plague, no deadly vile desease,
No broilyng blaze, no swallowyng seas.
No gauiyng greefes, no cares that crushe,
Of these I recke not of a Rushe.
An ill there is whiche doeth remaine,
That troubles more and putts to paine:
A fawnyng frende moste mischief is,
Whiche seekes to kill yet semes to kisse.
