VAIN GLORY.
V aunt not to much of that vvhich is but vayne,A nd beare in minde thy state is heer vnsure:
I t is not vvelth that can abridge thy payne,
N or loftie looks thy vvelfare can procure.
G reeue not to see thy neighbour prosper vvell,
L et blinde Ambition rule thy hart no more:
O r seek not gainst the simple soule to svvell,
R egard to haue discretion good before.
Y our happy helth shall aye increase the more.
