A Dialogue.

    First:        
               What shall I wish ? what shall I flye ?
    Second:    
               True loue I seeke,
    First:           
               False I defie,
    Second:    
               Wordes haue their truth, 
    First:          
               Such euer speake,
    Second:    
               Deeds haue their faith, 
    First:       
              Such neuer breake,
    Both:         
              Flattery yeelds pleasure,
    First:         
              Onely truth yeelds waight,
    Both:       
              Happy are they that neuer knew deceit.
