[Till time had taught me for to iudge of late]
Till
time had taught me for to iudge of late,
I did not know the sure and quiet state: At first I thought the simplest life
did best, but seing that made a thrall vnto the rest, I changed mind to iudge
the best of powre, on whom knowing
that high disdaine did lowre, I turned my sentence, and then decreed, the meane (with mind
content) the best, whose seed yeldes rather sweet then sowre, the meane (with mind content) the
best, whose seed yeldes rather sweet then sowre.
