The beggers lesson.

Who so would that all thinges were well,
And would himselfe be wythout blame:
Let him giue eare, for I will tell,
The way how to performe the same.
Fyrste walke in thy vocation,
And do not seke thy lotte to chaunge:
For through wicked ambition,
Mani mēs fortune hath bene straūge
