A promise of olde good will, to an olde friend at the beginning of New yere.
The Chuffes for greedie gaineand lucers looue expende
Their New yeares gifts vpon their Lorde
as erie yeare hath ende:
But I in token that
the yeare his course hath roon,
And proufe that ioyfull Ianus hath
a nouell yeare begoon:
(As Loue and Dutie willes)
the Herauld of my hart
Here send to you to make a shew
that Friendship shall not start.
Though yeares doe chaunge by course
and alter by their kinde:
My olde good will and faith to slip
I trust you shall not finde.
[75]
his loue shall neuer blin:
But gather strength and grow to more
than when it did begin.
