Epigram 21: A keeper of honesty

Deliro should of honesty be full,
And store of wisdome surely is within him.
What though he dally with a painted trull:
And she to folly daily seemes to win him,
Yet in him sure is honesty good store,
He vtters but his knauerie with a whore?

For he that spends too free, shall surely want,
Whilst he that spares will liue in wealthy state:
So wit and honesty, with such are scant,
Who part with it at euery idle rate:
But men must needs haue honesty and wit,
That like Deliro neuer vtter it.
