Aunswere. G. H.

[Giue me the equall friend, for greater state]

Giue me the equall friend, for greater state
Will euer grudge the wante of lowe degree,
And eke the meane repine at welthier mate,
Thus enuy breakes what friendship did decree.
By iuste agreeing porte no iarre doth grow,
Where wealth ne wante denies the friendly show.
