The skilfull Scholler, and braue man at Armes,

First plies his Booke, last fights for Countries Peace;

Th'one feares Obliuion, th'other fresh Alarmes;

His paines nere ende, his trauailes neuer cease;

His with the Day, his with the Night increase:

He studies how to get eternall Fame;

The Souldier fights to win a glorious Name.

The Knight, the Squire, the Gentleman, the Clowne,

Are full of crosses and calamities;

Lest fickle Fortune should begin to frowne,
