The knowledge how they honour may obtayne,

And how they may from falling there remayne.

2.

Though many clime by many meanes a hye,

Yet few on toppe can sit in suer seate:

For euery storme an ouerthrowe doth threate

To them, who get the toppe by crueltie;

Whose suddayne fall doth tell their trechery:

But they who will their heades for honour beate,

And flye the fall, the greefe whereof is greate,
