K Knowledge doth much in care of most content,
A And reason sees, when loue hath lost his eyes,
T Time hath his course, and vertue her intent,
H Honor her selfe when other fancies dies,
A A wonder lasts but onely for a day,
R Reason regards but honors worthines,
I In vertues loue can honor not decay;
N Nothing but heauen is perfect happines.

R Rare is the eye that neuer lookes awry,
A And sweet the thought that neuer sounds amis,
T True is the heart that guideth such an eye,
C Careful the minde where such discretion is,
L Long is the life where loue doth draw the line,
I Joyfull the hope that such a heart vpholdeth,
T Time is the threed no fancie can vntwine,
F Faire is the hap, that such a face beholdeth.
