Who the best dissemble can,

He's the best and wisest man.

Hollow and unfaithful ever

Is the friendship of the earth;

Seemeth she a man to favour?

'Tis but for the gold he's worth;

Are we prosp'rous, do we flourish?

She will smile on us, and nourish;

Doth misfortune o'er us low'r?

She forsakes us in that hour.
