WEE flee, from what wee seeke, & followe, that wee leaue:
And, whilst wee thinke our webbe to skante, & larger still would weaue,
Lo, Time dothe cut vs of, amid our carke: and care,
Which warneth all, that haue enoughe, and not contented are,
For to inioye their goodes, their howses, and their landes:
Bicause the
Yet, those whose greedie mindes: enoughe, doe thinke too small:
Whilst that with care they seeke for more, oft times are reu'd of all,
Wherefore all such (I wishe) that spare, where is no neede:
To vse their goodes whilst that they may, for time apace doth speede.
And since, by proofe I knowe, you hourde not vp your store;
And spend vnto your praise, what
I chiefly made my choice of this, which I to you commende.
In hope, all those that see your name, aboue the head:
Will at your lampe, their owne come light, within your steppes to tread,
Whose daily studie is, your countrie to adorne:
And for to keepe a worthie house, in place where you weare borne.
Bonis quod bene fit,
haud perit.
