The summe of all

[The greatest treasure without comparison]

The greatest treasure without comparison
for mans felicitte, here in this life
aboue golde and siluer: is witte and discrecion.
to temper the ioyfull, and comfort the pensife
or otherwise to enstruct man, in pease or strife
witte also is encreaced by often reading
and like the fruitles tree, is witte without learning.
