From Chrestoleros (1598), Book 2
Social Commentaries
Cacus, if any chance on him to call,
Drawes forth the loafe & cheese, but if they eate
A golden sentence he drawes forth withall,
Friendship consisteth not in drinke and meate.
This is a goolden sentence I dare sweare.
This sentence saues him many pound's a yeare.
