1Dulce, quod vtile.

An honest Vicar riding by the way
(Not knowing better how to spend the day;)
Would sing vnto himselfe Geneua Psalmes.
A blindman hearing him straight beg'd his almes,
To whom (quoth he) with coyne I cannot part,
But God thee blesse (good man) with all my hart:
Oh, said the blind man, greater is our losse,
When such as you doe blesse without a crosse.
