VII. The Country Gentleman.

Though strange out landish spirits praise, Townes and Countries scorne,
The Country is my home, I dwell where I was borne:
There profit and command with pleasure I pertake,
yet doe not Haukes and Dogs my soul companions make.
I rule but not oppresse, End quarrels not maintaine,
See Townes but dwell not there, to abridge my charge or traine.
