Of honest liuing.
That man of honor doth desarueand worship most his part:
And liueth most aright in earth
and best imployes his hart.
Which hath a conscience vncorrupt
and feareth God aright:
And is a freende vnto his freende,
and beares his foe no spight.
And temperate is of wordes & works
not couetous of fame:
And in his person restfull is
such man deserues no blame.
