[Ther is perfection and flowre of al fairenes]
Ther is perfection and flowre of al fairenes,VVhere simplest stuffe is gold and precious stone,
There is small felicitie euermore faultles,
VVhose pleasures there surpasse all mencion:
There Christe our king for the saluacion,
Of those that liue in his feare and him loue,
Cælestiall ioyes preparde hath many a one,
For ay to dure, in glorious Heauen aboue.
