[The soule of man so noble is of nature]
The soule of man so noble is of nature,And made to ioy so hygh an heritage,
VVithout delight it can not long endure,
Therefore men should in their tender age,

VVhich without lothsomnesse bringeth delyte,
Encreasing euer her valiant corage,
For of taste, ay she renueth appetyte.
