Io. Pine in eiusdem.

Let fame take now her flight,
From place to place, and say,
That if men looke to find aright,
To life a readie way,
Or seeke the sou'raigne pearle,
That farre surpasseth gold,
They may herein find either well,
Sent free to them, not sold.
Let him in lue of paine,
Reape this reward therefore,
That giues what wit (not wealth) did gaine,
A name for euermore.
