he that is wise will Covet gould
but wise is he wch wisheth graine
he shall therby more good behould
then werth of gould may well coteine
on graine therof shalbetter be
then gould or goodꝭ or other fee/
Prevente in tyme, what after will ensue
Thy hed well wrapte/ tri this yt shalbe true
Soe mayste thou ioye when others doe complain
And Lyue in peace, whille they Abyd in paine
Thoughe pain yt be to cut thy shine
yet learne that Lesson well in minde
Thou shalte therby moch profite bringe
bothe to thy selfe and all thy Kinde/
Calendared text from MS Ashmole 236, f. 151r
