The first to be marked is so that the mind
Be seasoned with virtue and godly inclined.
The second, to aim at the liberal arts,
To practice and exercise scholar-like parts.
The third, to be taught as times do require,
All moderate actions this age doth desire.
The fourth, that coming to more years and strength,
That all to civility he bend at the length.
Observe well the rules which now shall ensue,
And find them right wholesome, delightful and new.
