S Silly poore swaine pul down thy simple pride,
A Angelles are not for beggars to behold,
R Reach not too high for feare thy foote doth slide,
A And haples hope doo prooue a slender hold.
A Angelles are not for beggars to behold,
R Reach not too high for feare thy foote doth slide,
A And haples hope doo prooue a slender hold.
H Hold downe thy head, thy hand is not thine owne,
A A sunne, a sunne hath put out both thine eyes,
S See in thy selfe how thou art ouerthrowne:
T There is no comfort in extremities,
I In high good-wil let honour be thy guide,
N No cruell thought can rest in kinde aspect,
G Good nature sees that reason cannot hide,
S Sweet be the ends that follow such effect.
