Social Commentaries
On Hypocrites in friendship
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book I
Social Commentaries
False friends are like to Cuckoes, that will haunt
Our pleasant walkes, and scurvily will chaunt
I' th' Spring, and part of Summer: but of all
The flocke not one attends you at the fall.
