Contents

When wit doth seek vice to embrace -- The music tunes of voice or sound -- As 'tis a sign of persons grave -- Of a hard beginning -- The pleasant and the gentle speech -- The haughtiness of some but base -- I have not only read -- Nothing is sharper than low things -- In weal and woe be patient -- As they shadow itself applyeth -- It doth belong more of good right -- Who that to quassing is bent -- If flattered be the wicked -- If thou that hast a trusty friend -- Thy secrets told -- Buy new broom -- Give not thy mind to heaviness - Shall I this woe sustain -- Till time had taught me -- As restless head doth always give.
