Super terram peregrinans.
Nor house, nor home, hath wretched man on earth,
Ne ought he claimeth iustly as his owne:
But as a Pilgrim wandring from his birth
In Countries straunge, and Deserts wild vnknowne,
Like RECHABITE, or those Tartarian HORDES,
Whose vastest Region but a Tent affordes.
Ne ought he claimeth iustly as his owne:
But as a Pilgrim wandring from his birth

Like RECHABITE, or those Tartarian HORDES,
Whose vastest Region but a Tent affordes.
Betime hence learne we wisely to supplie
Our inward wantes, ere hence we flit away:
And hide in Heauen, that treasure carefully,
Which neither Moth, nor Canker shall decaie:
In following state, eke not to spend our stock,
Where oft for merit, we but gaine a mock.
