Super terram peregrinans.
[illustration]
NOR house, nor home, hath wretched man on earth, Ne ought he claimeth iustly as his owne: But as a Pilgrim wandring from his birth In Countries straunge, and Deserts wild vnknowne, Like RECHABITE, or those Tartarian HORDES, Whose vastest Region but a Tent affordes.
Betime hence learne we wisely to supplie Our inward wantes, ere hence we flit away: And hide in Heauen, that treasure carefully, Which neither Moth, nor Canker shall decaie: In following state, eke not to spend our stock, Where oft for merit, we but gaine a mock.
