Similies on the same subiect.

AS the best steeled glasse bewraies the face,
So truth best shineth in an honest soule.
As purest Emeralds without foyles shine best,
So truth most pleaseth in her plainest clothes.
As wormwood fitteth not a lickerish taste,
So truth doth neuer please a lyars tongue.
As clouds oft threaten raine, and yet shed none,
So stormes oft menace truth, yet hurt her not.
As darkenesse is an enemie to light,
So falshood is continuall foe to truth.
As meane attire impaires not beauties face,
So poorest ragges to truth giue no disgrace.
