Of the riche and poore man.
He is not riche which plenty doth posces:Ne is he poore, that nothing hath at all:
And of them both the pooremās nede is lesse,
as by the sequel proued see you shal.
The riche of Precious stones doth stande in neede:
the poore of graine to helpe hym in distres:
So sith the poore & riche both want, indeede
of both their nedes ye poremās nede is lesse.
