Of Pouertie, &c.
Pouertie is a vertue of it selfe,
Content with want and needie miserie.
POuertie is not wisdomes hinderance.
Contented pouertie is greatest wealth.
Need, is esteem'd a perfect Schoole-mistresse.
Need answers not to euery mans request.
Poore miserie i•• troden on by many,
And being low, neuer relieu'd by any.
Wise men, must giue place to necessitie.
Ignorance is the greatest pouertie.
Stout vowes are oft repeal'd in extreame need.
Sweet are poore crummes, where pained thoughts doe starue.
Need hurteth none so much as sillie soules,
Who cannot patiently endure her yoke.
