CCLX

[Speake thou and spede where will or power ought helpthe]

Speake thou and spede where will or power ought helpthe,
Where power dothe want will must be wonne by welth.
For nede will spede, where will workes not his kinde,
And gayne, thy foes, thy frendes, shall cause thee finde.
For sute and golde, what do not they obtaine:
Of good and bad the triers are these twaine.
