My loved frend, and lovinge therwithall,
the same even nowe which former tymes did finde,
against true freindshipps bande, howe maye it fall
that I should shewe my self soe farr vnkinde,
as to lett slipp our frendship out of minde?
wherfore this Embleme, which I frendlie ment,
take with like love as I the same present.

The pretie youth, Telemachus the fayre,
the pledge most deere to Vlisses eloquent,
and chaste Penelope, which with despaire
did feed her hungrie sutors hote intent,
and never would to theire desire relent,
did fall from crooked shore, sitting at ease,
into the raveninge wombe of raging Seas.

fforthwith, full fraught with love and pietie,
the Arionian Dolphins were at hand,
whose gentle barks receyv'd him lovinglie,
and from the deepe restored him to land,
Savinge his life; wherbye wee vnderstand,
That straungers to our kinde and to our bloode,
then our owne kinde and kinn, do vs more good,
And that th' vntamed Seas
breed fishe of better kinde,
Then pleasant Earth doth yealde
vs menn of lovinge minde.
