No rocke so steepe, but if a bird could scale it,

Up would our youth flie to. A foe in armes45

Stirr'd up a much more lust of his encounter

Then of a mistresse never so be-painted.

Ambition then was onely scaling walles,

And over-topping turrets; fame was wealth;

Best parts, best deedes, were best nobilitie;50

Honour with worth, and wealth well got or none.

Countries we wonne with as few men as countries:

Vertue subdu'd all.
