II A 4

[None can deeme righte, whoe Faithfull freendes do rest]

None can deeme righte, whoe Faithfull freendes do rest
whilste they doe Rule, and Raigne in great degree
For than bothe faste, and fained freendes are preste
Whose faithes seeme bothe, of one effect to bee
But if that welthe unwynde and fortune flee
as never knowen revoltes th'unfaithfull gheste
but he whose hart, in life once faithe linckt faste
Will love and serve, even after deathe is paste
