Of a Foxe that woulde eate no Grapes.
By
fortune came a Foxe,
where grue a loftie Uine,
I will no Grapes (quoth hee)
this yarde is none of mine:
The Foxe would none bicause that hee
Perceiude the highnesse of the Tree.

The Foxe would none bicause that hee
Perceiude the highnesse of the Tree.
So men that Foxlie are,
and long their lust to haue,
But cannot come thereby,
make wise they would not craue:
Those subtill Marchants will no Wine
Bicause they cannot reach the Uine.

Those subtill Marchants will no Wine
Bicause they cannot reach the Uine.
