A colledge fayre in Oxford I did make,
A sumptuous house a stately worke in deede:
I gaue great lands to that, for learning sake,
To bring vp youth and succour scholer’s neede:
That charge of myne full many a mouth did feede,
When I in courte was seeking some good turne,
To mend my torch, or make my candell burne.

More houses gay I builte, then thowsands do
That haue enough, yet will no goodnes shoe:
