[The Gods graunt you to frolicke in your hall]
The Gods graunt you to frolicke in your hall,His yeeres, that so long time vvith nature striue,
And that in happie fortune you may liue,
Free from all kinde of sorrovves great or small:
And in your loue one haire may neuer fall
Of iealousie, a plague eid like a sieue.
Let heauens to temporall goodes their fauours giue.
Fire, aire, sea, earth, and nature at your call.
The rot may neuer touch your soundest stockes,
Feare of the vvoolfe your shades may not molest:
And vvily foxe not feare your pretie lambes.
In plenty may encrease your goodly stockes,
Tvvo kids may yeerely yeane your fruitfull dams,
And your faire Evves vvith double tvvinlings blest.
