Posies for the parler. IQI 
4 With bralling fooles that wrall for euerie wrong, 
Firme friendship neuer can continue long. 
5 In time that man shall seldome friendship mis, 
That waith what thing touch kept in friendship is. 
6 Oft times a friend is got with easie cost, 
Which vsed euill is oft as quickly lost. 
7 Hast thou a friend, as hart may wish at will ? 
Then vse him so to haue his friendship still. 
8 Wouldst haue a friend, wouldst knowe what friend is best ? 
Haue God thy friend, who passeth all the rest.

“| Posies for the gests chamber. 
HE slouen and the careles man, the roinish nothing nice, 
To lodge in chamber comely deckt, are seldome suffred 
twice. 
With curteine som make scaberd clene, with couerlet their 
shoo, 
All dirt and mire some wallow bed, as spanniels vse to doo. 
Though bootes and spurs be nere so foule, what passeth 
some thereon ? 
What place they foule, what thing they teare, by tumbling 
thervpon. 
Foule male some cast on faire boord, be carpet nere so 
cléene, 
what maners careles maister hath, by knaue his man is 
séene. 
Some make the chimnie chamber pot to smell like filthie 
sink, 
Yet who so bold, so soone to say, fough, how these houses 
stink ?
