To My Brother Mr Richard Davies, Master Likewise in the Same Faculty of Writing
C ONFORME thine head and heart vnto thine hand,
Then staidly they thine actions will command;
Thy hand I taught and partly storde thy head
With numbers, such as stand in cyphers stead
To make but others mount with praise vndue,
For nought but nought, which is a cypher true.
But if thou wilt be measurde by thy gaines,
Number not words, but number pounds with paines.
Then staidly they thine actions will command;
Thy hand I taught and partly storde thy head
With numbers, such as stand in cyphers stead
To make but others mount with praise vndue,
For nought but nought, which is a cypher true.
But if thou wilt be measurde by thy gaines,
Number not words, but number pounds with paines.
