heer is no flatterys nor strife,
for t'was the first and happiest life,
when first man did injoie him selfe.
This is a better fate than kings,
hence jentle peace and love doth flow,
for fancy is the rate of things;
I'am pleased, because I think it so,
for a hart that is nobly true,
all the world's arts can n'er subdue."
This poem immediately follows the one in which Toddington in Bedfordshire (which the Duke spells, probably as then pronounced, Tedington) is referred to.
