6. Upon a blinde, and a lame Begger.

There's nothing more commodious, then a Friend;
Who at a pinch, may his assistance lend.
A Begger who had lost his eyes, did frame
A League of Friendship, with another, Lame.

Whose Eyes directed, which way, He might ride.

When it cannot be found, in Princes Courts.
