Of nothyng lacke, or scarcetie,
He whiche is frendly doth not mys,
No tyme his frende to gratefye.

In selfe loue, or in auarice:

Occasion shewde in exercise,
Loue neuer doth his frende despyse,
Sure frendshyp knoweth not hir owne.
Of this description to the wyse,
Now hēceforth may frēdship be knowne.
