IF of thy foe, thow doest a gifte receaue,
Esteeme it not, for feare the fates doe lower,
And with the gifte, ofte tyme thie life doe reaue,
Yea giftes wee reade, haue suche a secret power,
That oftentimes, they LYNCEVS eies doe blinde,
And he that giues, the taker faste doth binde.
To AIAX heare, a sworde did HECTOR sende,
A girdle stronge, to him did AIAX yeelde,
With HECTORS gifte, did AIAX woorke his ende,
And AIAX gifte, hal'de HECTOR throughe the fielde:
Of mortall foes, then see noe gifte thow take,
Althoughe a while, a truce with them thow make.
