[Nowe take good hede thow that doest ouer lyue]

Nowe take good hede thow that doest ouer lyue
Hym that in honour & vertue dyd excelle
Se thou not alter nor thy selfe depryue
But falowe hym which was of honour the well
For if thou doo not men shall of the tell
Thou art degenerat & growen out of Kynde
Thy progenytours lawde hauynge nothynge in mynde.
