[VVhat seede men sowe, such corne they must sheare]
VVhat seede men sowe, such corne they must sheare,As we oft see by prooued experience,
Euen so in youth, who liketh to forbeare,
The seedes of sinne, of slothe, and negligence,
And sowe the seedes of vertue and sapience,
So with small labour in great security,
VVith mede honor and inward compacience,
Theit age shall florishe in fayre felicity.
