〈♫〉〈♫〉
1
The man of life vpright,
Whose chearfull minde is free
From waight of impious deedes,
and yoake of vanitee.
2
The man whose silent dayes
In harm••lesse ioyes are spent:
Whom hopes cannot delude,
Nor sorrowes discontent.
3
That man needes neyther towres,
Nor armour for defence:
Nor vaults his guilt to shrowd
From thunders violence.
4
Hee onely can behold
With vnaffrighted eyes
The horrors of the deepe,
And terrors of the Skies.
5
Thus scorning all the cares,
That fate or fortune brings:
His Booke the Heau'ns hee makes
His wisedome heau'nly things.
6
Good thoughts his sur••st friends,
His wealth a well-spent age,
The earth his sober Inne,
And quiet pilgrimage.
