Who not your fortune make, but you, their ends.

I speak not this to vaunt in my own story,

All these additions are unto your glory;

Who, counter to the world, use to elect,

Not to take up on trust, what you affect.

Indeed 'tis seldom seen that such as you

Adopt a friend, or for acquaintance sue;

Yet you did this vouchsafe, you did descend

40Below yourself to raise an humble friend,

And fix him in your love: where I will stand
