The .xv. chapter treateth of Denmark and of the natural dysposycion of the people, and of theyr mony and speche.
I Am a Dane, and do dwell in Denmarke,Seldom I do vse to set my selfe to warke
163
Of al tymes in the yere I fare best in Lent;
I wyl ete beenes, and good stock fysh—
How say you, is not that a good dysh?—
In my apparel I was neuer nyce,
I am content to were rough fryce;
I care not if euery man I do tel,
Symple rayment shal serue me ful wel;
My old fashion I do vse to kepe,
And in my clothes dyuers tymes I slepe;
Thus I do passe the dayes of my lyfe,
Other whyle in bate, and other whyle in stryfe;
Wysdome it war to lyue in peace and rest;
They that can so do, shal fynd it most best.
