To Sextus. Pittie: almes.
Proude Pallaces with battlements,thou hast erected hie:
Thy farmes and maner howses, storde
with euery thyng do lye.
Thou dost abound in beddes of downe,
thy fare is passyng fine:
Thy clothes are costly to thy backe:
all passyng that is thine.
Uppon thy selfe, thy goods and coine
thou spendest euermore:
Dost aske how bet they may be spent?
how? marrie on the poore.
