The wise trade of lyfe.
DO all your dedes by good aduise,
Cast in your minde alwaies the end.
Wit bought is of to dere a price.
The tried, trust, and take as frend,
For frendes I finde there be but two:
Of countenance, and of effect.
Of thone sort there are inow:
But few ben of the tother sect.
Beware also the venym swete
Of crafty wordes and flattery.
For to deceiue they be most mete,
That best can play hypocrisy.
Let wisdome rule your dede and thought:
So shall your workes be wisely wrought.
