I could not be content with meane estate;

Let them therefore which shal this story heare,

So loue the meane, extremitie so hate,

That they may liue in blesse without debate.

Who is content amidst the meane to dwel,

With perfite blysse he only dooth excell.

With royal rule you kinges which runne your race,

Take heede, beware, flee fancies fonde delight,

Ambition blinde wyl moue you to imbrace,
