It was a southfast sentence long agoe,

That hasty men shall neuer lacke much woe.

5.

Is it not truth? Baldwine, what sayest thou?

Say on thy minde: I pray thee muse no more:

Me thinke thou star’st and look’st[1789] I wot not howe,

As though thou neuer saw’st[1790] a man before:

Belike thou musest why I teach this lore,

Els what I am, that here so bouldly[1791] dare,

Among the prease of princes to compare.
