Chara nimis uoluptas.

Syr Ralphe resolues to leaue this Coourt-like state,
And liue i'th Countrey at a lower rate:
Is it not reason he be close and neare,
That hath but bare one hundred marks a yeare?
Besides the money which his Knight-hood spent him,
Not yet repaide, that so long since was lent him?
