Similies on the same subiect.
AS thunder nor fierce lightning harmes the Bay,
So no extremitie hath power on fame.
As precious stones (though set in Lead) will shine,
So fame in poorest corners will appeare.
As earth producing salt, brings nothing else,
So vertue, seeking fame, craues nothing else.
As many voices make the consort sweet,
So many vertues doe confirme true fame.
As pride is enemie to good report,
Solowly thoughts doe lead the way to fame.
As sight receiues his splendour from the aire,
So fame from vertue doth deriue her selfe.
