Who lookes aloft​
Whoe lookes alofte shall daunger finde
Whoe lookes to lowe disgrace shall haue
Whoe lookes to ofte must nedes be blynde
Whoe neuer lookes nede neuer craue
Whoe wynkes for wyles and dare not looke
leaste subtyll syghte his fancye gall
him selfe beguiles and getts the hooke
for wante of syghte that makes him fall
For equall choyse no prayse dothe gaine
and love to lowe deseruethe skorne
A loftye lykynge getts disdayne
thus is the badge of fancye worne
Iudge not amiss thinke as you wyll
the fairest wood in parke you fynde
be suer of this I meane no ill
fairewell be good you knowe my mynde
satirus​
Thoughe Reuellers​ in woods that rauge
doe pass awaye wi​th​oute regarde
And thinke yt Tryin in game to change
there hartes for euerye common carde
Yet when the waller dothe beholde
to pryse the wood that erste was sene
he rather seekes to haue yt solde
then styll to see yt growe to grene
He vewes the parke in compasse rownde
and woodes where in the hartes do dwell
buy staye I here a heauenlye sownde
Try or you truste in haiste fairewell
Will Tout ce que luit n'est d'or​ Parkyn
Where I coulde I care not Wher I woulde I dare not​
