Maxima amicitia inter æquales.

The Younger Brother to the Elder.

Epig. 56.

If Amongst æquals greatest Friendship bee,
Our Loue was Best in our minoritie.
When as this mutuall Lesson wee were taught,
To bee as Equall branches from One graft.
Then did wee Goe and Grow alike, as One,
No Difference had in Education.
So our Affections Sympathiz'd in all,
That no euent could come but mutuall.
So Neare so Deare, we both did Loue and Liue,
That each ones Breath to each might Being giue,
What more? So Life, and Losse, in all did linke vs,
That One that knew vs both, both one wou'd think vs.
Which in our Father bred this foule mistake,
Who gaue One all, and so did Difference make.
