Adam primus homo damnauit seenla prima , 3 The Sea , Land , riuers , winds the Sunne and shade The day and night , both foule and Firmament Heauen and earth form'd all to mans content , Him made he then the microcosme of all , Seated in costly Eden , whilst his fall , Qui facit magna & inscrutabillia absque numero Eliph .

Comands the sences , rules by moderation , In drinke , and meate , according to the nation , And pleasures , too , for know no vice more raighnes Then this intemperance in youthfull veines . Incontinency issues as effect , And due reward of temperance neclect . Much like the passages of drunkennesse , Worthily said our Brittons to possesse .

For venery is occasiond oft by Drinke . Then men once in , turnd prodigals , soone sinke . Wherfore an opposition must be framed , Whereby the lets of trauaile may be tamed , Prudence of morall virtues for her grace Merits her ranke in trauailes primest place , The straites of vertue so by vice beset , As we may well perceiue a world of let . Where for an opposition must be framed ,
