To a Friend that wild him to beware of Enuie

THis sound aduise and counsell sent from you
With friendly hart yt you (my friend) doe giue,
With willing minde I purpose to ensue,
And to beware of Enuie whilst I liue.
For spitefull it doth nought but malice brue
Aie séeking Loue from faithfull harts to riue,
And plant in place where perfit Friendship grue
A mortall hate, good Nature to depriue:
And those that nip mée by the back behinde,
I trust you shall vntrue reporters finde.
