A Collection of Emblemes, Ancient and Moderne / Quickened With Metrical Illustrations, Both Morall and Divine, Etc. - George Wither

Thou, seem'st to have great store of friends,

But, they affect thee, for their ends.

There is, in those, but little trust,

Who love, for profit, mirth, or lust.

Learne, therfore, when, thou mayst be sure,

Thy Friend's affection will indure;

And, that this Knowledge may be got,

Good notice take thou of thy Lot.
