Vicinorum amicitia.
Svch frendly league, by nature is they say;
Betwixt the Mirtle, and Pomegranate tree,
Who, if not planted over-farre away,
They seeke each others mutuall amitie:
By open signes of Frendship, till at last,
They one another haue with armes embrac't.
Betwixt the Mirtle, and Pomegranate tree,
Who, if not planted over-farre away,

By open signes of Frendship, till at last,
They one another haue with armes embrac't.
Which doth declare, how neighbours should vnite
Themselues together, in all frendly loue;
And not like Tyrants, excercise their spight,
On one another, when no cause doth moue:
But letting quarrels, and old grudges cease,
Be reconcild, to liue, and die, in peace.
