[Where reason rules, affection fonde doth flie]

Where reason rules, affection fonde doth flie,
And bewties beames no bitter bale may breed
Where wisedome will, by vertues skill doth tie,
Cupidoes flames are quenched forth with speed.
Let reason then thy will by wisedome guide,
So shalt thou safely shonne this trembling tide.
