To his Friend M. S.

If friendship true be tryde when welth doth fayle,
from such as fayne, and flee if fortune lowre:
If he a friend that seemes not then to quayle,
but seekes to helpe and ayde his friend to powre.
My Staplee then a friend thou art in deede,
That helps thy friend in time of nipping neede.
