Poem by Thomas Urquhart
Epigrams. The First Booke. № 39. When a true friend may be best knowne
AS the glow-worme shines brightest in the darke,
And frankincense smells sweetest in the fire:
So crosse adventures make us best remarke
A sincere friend from a dissembled Lyer;
For some being friends to our prosperity,
And not to us: when it failes, they decay.
