Thomas Egerton, lord Ellesmere
Tuta frequensque via est, per amici fallere nomen ;
Tuta frequensque licet sit via, crimen habet.
Ovid, Ars Amat. I. p. 585.
Translated by Theophilus Wodinoth :
A safe and common way it is by friendship to deceive,
But safe and common though it be, it is knavery, by your leave.
