[In wandring wealth through bubbling brookes & bewes]
In wandring wealth through bubbling brookes & bewesOf tripping troupes & flocks on fertill grounde
In cattell great of sindrie shapes & hewes
With hooffes all whole or in a parted rounde
In fields fulle filld with cornes by shearers bounde
In heapes of golde & ritches in all wayes
As Job excelld all others might be founde
Of Monarchs great or Princes in his dayes
So this translator merites no lesse praise
For gifts of sprite then he for gifts of geare
And God in grace hath giuen such conter[paise]
As his translation to the worke is peere
God did in him his gifts sa wyslie mell
Whos heauenly wealth Jobs earthlie wealth doeth tell.
