Verses written at the request of his Cosen Mary Palmer, in her praier booke called the Pomander of praier.
Make muche of modestie: be alwaies meke:
Abandon vice: for golden vertue seeke.
Regard the good: the ill set nothyng by:
Yn mynde remember still that thou must die
Abandon vice: for golden vertue seeke.
[25]
Yn mynde remember still that thou must die
Please parents thyne: persist in doyng well:
Ay striue to staine the rest: and to excell.
Liue, learne, & loue: & alwaies know thy self:
Muse al on heauē: passe smal on worldly pelf.
Endeuour at the narrow gate, to enter in:
Rule so thy self immortall fame to win.
Ay striue to staine the rest: and to excell.
Liue, learne, & loue: & alwaies know thy self:
Muse al on heauē: passe smal on worldly pelf.
Endeuour at the narrow gate, to enter in:
Rule so thy self immortall fame to win.
