[We ought to haue great respect]
[Zelauto.]We ought to haue great respect,
least that the hydden vice:
That dooth vppon the vertues tende,
dooth slylie vs intyce.
The elder Cato also vppon this sayth.
By two thinges I encrease my wealth,by tylling of my ground:
The other by good husbandrie,
that I therein haue found.
For why, the one aboundaunce bringes,
as much as heart can chuse:
The other dooth me wisely teach,
howe I the same should vse.

[These gay and gorgious buyldings heere]
[Zelauto.]These gay and gorgious buyldings heere,
be set with Stories braue:
And open windowes, that the ayre,
free entraunce in may haue.
For Summer they delightfull are,
and gallant to beholde:
But when that Hiems dooth approche,
her blastes wyll make you colde.
