Nota hic secundum Aristotilem,[1110] qualiter Principum Prodegalitas paupertatem inducit communem.
So as the Philosophre tolde,
A king after the reule is holde
To modifie and to adresce
Hise yiftes upon such largesce
Seneca.[1111] Sic aliis benefacito, vt tibi non noceas.
That he mesure noght excede:
For if a king falle into nede,
It causeth ofte sondri thinges
Whiche are ungoodly to the kinges.[1112]
