WHOSE STRENGTH MIGHT BOLDLY ON YOUR FAUOURS BUILD,
OUR RUSSET,TISSEW:DRONE,A HONEY-BEE,
OUR BARREIN PLOT,A LARGE AND SPACIOUS FIELDE.
OUR COURSE FARE, BANQUETS:OUR THIN WATER,WINE:

OUR POETS DULL AND EARTHY MUSE,DIUINE:
OUR RAUENS,DOUES:OUR CROWES BLACKE FETHERS, WHITE.
BUT GENTLE THOUGHTS WHEN THEY MAY GIUE THE FOYLE,
SAUE THEM THAT YEELD, AND SPARE WHERE THEY MAY SPOYLE.
