Classic Poem

Let wisedome welde your witte and all your wayes,
Among the best your credite twill enhaunce:
Detest eche Vice, by Vertue purchase prayse,
In Noble moulde, a Noble minde aduaunce.

March on with those gainst frayle desyres that fight,
And gayne the Gole where glorye great doth dwell:
Resist eche wrong, endeuour to doe right,
Imbrace good will of such as wishe you well.

Suspend to deeme the worst, what euer breede,
And poyse eche poynte before you verdit giue,
Vntill you syft the depth of doubts in deede,
It skill shall shewe to let the matter liue.

Last beare in minde as course doth chaunge the yeare,
Euen so all Natures workes in time doe weare.
