[II. He onely can behold]

He onely can behold

He onely can behold behold he onely can behold with vnaffrighted eyes, the horrors of the deep, & terrors of the skies, the horrors of the deep, & terrors of the skies. Thus scorning scorning, scorning all the cares that fate or fortune brings. He makes his heauē his booke, he makes his heauen his booke, his wisedome heauenly thinges good thoughts his onely friendes, his onely friendes, his wealth a well spent age, the earth his sober Inne, & quiet pilgrimage.
