[That morall man, and famous Philosopher]

That morall man, and famous Philosopher,
Foure thinges commendeth befitting a king:
To his disciple Traiane the Emperour,
Fyrst dreade and loue God aboue all thyng.
Next of his person haue discreete gouernyng,
Then see that his officers be true and diligent,
Lastly his subiectes euer defendyng.
Shall winne theyr loue, as conquest congruent.
