[That prudent prince, and wyse kyng Salomon]

That prudent prince, and wyse kyng Salomon,
Preferred his pleasance in such proued plentee:
For honor, ritches, delites, and renoune,
He had no peare, so surpassed hee.
Raignyng in all most royall felicitie,
Natheles his state, he sayd, for conclusion:
VVas of no force, but meare vanitie,
Through corporall toyle, and spirituall affliction.
