Of an open Foe and a fayned Friend
From Epitaphes, Epigrams, Songs and Sonets (1567)
Relationships
NOt he so much anoies
that sayes: I am thy Fo,
As he that beares a hatefull hart,
and is a Friend to sho.
Of tone we may beware,
and flie his open hate,
But tother bites before he barck,
a hard auoyded Mate.
