The twig dooth bende as Boreas blastes dooth[1234] blow,

So man dooth walke euen as his minde dooth moue:

Then happy hee who hath a minde to know

Such thinges as be the best for his behoue:

No doubt the minde which vertuous actes dooth loue,

Dooth make a man euen Cæsar to surpasse

For noble deedes, who prince of prowesse was.

5.

But he who hath his minde to mischiefe bent,

All his delight from vertue dooth decline,
