Pet. Well, come, my Kate; we will unto your father's

Even in these honest mean habiliments:

Our purses shall be proud, our garments poor;

For 'tis the mind that makes the body rich;

And as the sun breaks through the darkest clouds,

So honour [peereth] in the meanest habit.

[What is] the jay more precious than the lark,

Because his feathers are more [beautiful]?

Or is the adder better than the eel,
