I. The Courtier.

Long, haue I liude in Court, yet learn'd not all this while,
To sell poore suters smoake, nor where I hate to smile:
Superiours to adore, Inferiours to despise.
To she from such as fall, to follow such as rise,
To cloake a poore desire vnder a rich aray,
Nor to aspire by vice though t'were the quicker way.
