I offered ayde before they sued to me,

And promis’d nought, but would performe it streight

I shaked downe sweete fruit from top of tree,

Made aples fall in laps of men by sleight:

I did good turnes whiles that I was a height,

For fear a flawe of winde would make mee reele,

And blowe me downe when fortune turn’d her wheele.

I fil’d no chests with chynks to cherish age,

But in the harts of people layde my gold,
