For of thy labor thou shalt eate,
happye arte thou (I say.)
Like frutefull vynes on thy house sydes,
so doth thy wyfe spryng out:
Thy children stande lyke Oliue plantes,
thy table round about.
Thus art thou blest that fearest God,
and he shall let thee see:
The promised Ierusalem,
and hys felicitye.
Thou shalt thy childrens children see,
to thy great ioyes increase:
And likewyse grace on Israell,
prosperitie and peace.
