Of temperance out of Plutarche.
VVhat may we thynke that mā to lackIn any one degree,
To lyue in ioye and perfect welth,
And pure felicitie.
Whose vertue lo doth hym discharge
From sorowe and from feare,
His temperance constreigneth hym

And calleth hym from carnall luste,
In thoughte, in worde and dede,
That in reioycing folyship
He neuer doth excede.
