Epigram 19 (Philo if naked loue you aske of me.)

Philo if naked loue you aske of me.
White loue, cleare loue, and such as loued was
Of our forefathers in simplicity:
Then loue and looke on me, I am your glasse.
This cuts you off: your friend, must fawne & flatter,
Nay more then this, your friend must you beelie:
I to your face: and that for no small matter,
But for your woorth, your wirt and honesty.
This cuts me of: the cause if you require,
I would not haue my friend proue me a lyar.
