(10) Of Stumblinge.
The prowde horse that treades with statelie pace,
and champes his foming mouth on goulden bitt,
adorn'd with curious trapping and pleasant grace,
of his braue looke his humor for to fitt,
with his fower feet, when hee doth prance and playe,
stumbles and falls in Iourneyeng of the waye.
and champes his foming mouth on goulden bitt,
adorn'd with curious trapping and pleasant grace,
of his braue looke his humor for to fitt,
with his fower feet, when hee doth prance and playe,
stumbles and falls in Iourneyeng of the waye.
What marvayle then, though worldlie men and proude,
adorn'd with sacred reason of the minde,
In whome the heavens and earth themselves doe shrowd,
with his twoo feet, as nature hath assign'd,
In Iournyeng to the place of heavenlie Ioye,
doth fall and stumble, through the worlds annoye!
