Contempnyng bryngith one to hie dugre;
Bot cherice them with wordis fair depaynt,
[1704] So with thi pupelle ſal yow the aquaynt.
Choose out of each district an aged knight to be thy counsellor.
Than of ilk cuntre wyſly yow enquere
An agit knycht to be thi conſulere,
That haith ben hold in armys Richt famus,
[1708] Wyß and diſcret, & no thing Inwyus;
For there is non that knowith ſo wel, I-wyß,
O worthy man as he that worthi Is.
