28 Be suretie seldome, (but neuer for much) 
for feare of purse penniles hanging by such : 
Or Skarborow warning, as ill I beleeue,

29 Use (legem pone) to paie at thy daie, 
but vse not (Ovemus) for often delaie : 
Yet (Presta quesumus) out of a grate, 
Of al other collects, the lender doth hate. 
30' Be pinched by lending, for kiffe nor for kin, 
nor also by spending, by such as come in; 
Nor put to thy hand betwixt bark and the tree, 
least through thy owne follie so pinched thou bee. 
31' As lending to neighbour, in time of his neede, 
winnes love of thy neighbour, and credit doth breede, 
So neuer to craue, but to liue of thine owne, 
brings comforts a thousand, to many vnknowne.

else buieng and selling might lie in the dust ; 
But shameles and craftie, that desperate are, 
make many ful honest the woorser to fare. 
33 At some time to borow, account it no shame, 
if iustlie thou keepest thy touch for the same: 
Who quick be to borow, and slow be to paie, 
their credit is naught, go they neuer so gaie.

not well to be thought on, occasion giues : 
Then lay to liue warily, and wisely to spend, 
for prodigall liuers haue seldom good end.
