The brasen potte, who wish'd the other loste,
Whereby they might, togeather ioyned sure:
Without all doubt, the force of flood indure.
This neighborhood doth put me much in feare?
I rather choose, my chaunce farre of to take,
Then to thy side, for to be ioyned neare,
And thou shalt scape, when I am all to burste.
The running streame, this worldie sea dothe shewe;
The pottes, present the mightie, and the pore:
Whoe here, a time are tossed too, and froe,
He maie be hurte, but cannot hurte againe,
Then like, to like: or beste alone remaine.

in Manto sua.
mium vicina Cremonae,
Quid fles amissum:
quid fles mea Mantua
campum
Pascentem niueos her-
boso flumine cycnos &c.
tum
recusat affinitatem
cum diuite Megado-
ta, facetissime.
Et ditiori te ne so-
cius fueris: Quid
communicabit ca-
cabus ad ollam? quan-
do enim se collise-
rint, confringetur,
Diues iniustè egit, &
fremet: pauper autem
laesus, tacebit. &c.
Viue sine inuidia, mol-
lesque inglorius annos
Exige, amicitias &
tibi inuge pares.
