“Give money me, take friendship whoso list For friends are gone come once adversity, When money yet remaineth safe in chest, That quickly can thee bring from misery. Fair face show friends when riches do abound; Come time of proof, farewell, they must away. Believe me well, they are not to be found If God but send thee once a lowering day. Gold never starts aside, but in distress, Finds ways enough to ease thine heaviness.”

“A thousand doltish geese we might have spared, A thousand witless heads death might have found, A taken them for whom no man had cared, And laid them low in deep oblivious ground: But fortune favors fool, as old men say, And lets them live, and takes the wise away.”

“The oftener seen, the more I lust, The more I lust, the more I smart, The more I smart, the more I trust, The more I trust, the heavier heart, The heavy heart breeds mine unrest; Thy absence, therefore, like I best.”
