VIRTUE.

What one art thou thus in torn weeds yclad?

Virtue, in price, whom ancient sages had—

Why poorly clad? for fading goods past care—

Why double fac'd? I mark each fortunes rare;

This bridle, what? mind's rages to restrain—

Why bear you tools? I love to take great pain—

Why wings? I teach above the stars to fly—

Why tread your death? I only cannot die.

WYAT.
