But Pride his friends (in neede) will neuer know:
Supplying not their wants, but them disdaining;
Whilst they to pitty neuer neede complayning.
Humillity in misery is relieu'd,
But Pride in neede of no man is regarded;
Pitty and Mercy weepe to see him grieu'd
That in distresse had them so well rewarded:
But Pride is scornd, contemnd, disdaind, derided,
Whilst Humblenes of all things is prouided.
Oh then be humble, gentle, meeke, and milde;
