Talke not of friends, the name thereof is nought,

Then trust no foes, if frendes theire credit loes:

If foes and frendes of on bare earth were wrought,

Blame nere of both though both one nature shoes:

Grace passeth kinde where grace and vertue floes,

But where grace wantes make foes and frends alike,

The on drawes sworde the other sure will strike.

66.

I prou’d that true by tryall twenty times,

When Wolsey stoode on top of fortune’s wheele.
