Bounteous as the clouds to earth,
And as honest as his birth;
All his actions they are such
As to do no thing too much;
Nor o'erpraise, nor yet condemn,
Nor outvalue, nor contemn,
Nor do wrongs nor wrongs receive,
Nor tie knots, nor knots unweave.
From all baseness to be free,
As he durst love truth and thee.
