That flattery and sclaunder are of all wyse men to be taken hede of.
Rise
in this life is rude reporte,
Of suche as order doe disdaine:
But who so wyll to blysse resort,
Auoyde must all their scouldinges vayne:
Regardyng in his mynde all whole,
To runne a pace and wynne the gole.

Trust not to much the faynt frendshyp
In suche as flatter for a gayn,
Ne yet the leade and lying lyp,
Lyke one lyke other is certayn.
Ye therfore ought him well to proue,
Endeuor that ye doe to loue.
