Epig. 13. In Rogernm Manners Rutlandiæ Comitem.
It's not the sea which doth our land inclose,That makes vs mightie to withstand our foes:
Nor farmes, nor mannours, but where manners be
There stands the cittie, from foes danger free;
If Manners then make vs our foes withstand,
Manners may wel be cald root of the land.
