❧ A proper newe ballad sheweing that Philosophers Learnynges , are full of good warnynges . And songe to the tune of my Lorde Marques Galyarder ? or the firste traces of Que passa .

Philosophers learnings , are ful of good warnings , in memorye yet left , to scoole vs , So be ther contayned , in Poietries fained great Documentes , to rate and rule vs , As well for continuance , of life helth and substance , whose vanities the world requireth , As for the derection of life by correction from lyberties that lust desireth . Menander being asked what life was , he answered , a miserie , that neuer ceaseth Tormenting minds worldly , for goods goton hardly with contraries as time increaseth , Wher in is no surance of hope nor in duraunce but Ieoberdies as fortune sendyth , Now sicklie now helthie now poorelie now welthy , with casualties as life contendith . Of Chilo thus reed we , whose councel most need we no memorye ought more to moue vs , Then for to know throwly , our selues & our dewty , to notifie what doth behoue vs , And as we seeme faultie , reiecte folyes noughtie with practesinge all waies to shone them , So may we triumphing , geue praise to ech good thing , Recomfortinge that we haue done them : Excesse that delighteth as Plutarche well writeth in greedines that life requireth , In surfeitinge disshes ill workinge ill wishes suche filthines as fleshe desyrethe , withdraw , wyth their pleasurs , dame natures dew measures , whose gouernaunce is so defaced , What man can dispose them , when lust ouer throws them : to temperaunce , that should be placed . Periander of liuinge good counsell once geuinge , said merilie looke well within thee , If conscience accuse thee , ill rest will abbuse thee no libertie hath leaue to win thee , Kepe concience then clearly , that life may liue chearly as Socrates doth wiselie will thee , No corzye shall greeue thee , sound sleepes shall reliue thee Vnquietnes , can no waye spill thee . If fortune displease vs , whose wrackes may disease vs , Let Sophacles his doctrine skoole vs , Who writes that no suretie , on earth getteth victrye But pacience in paines to rule vs , In suche pointes presisely good counsel most wisely , Exuperate blinde fortunes scourges , As the Marriner steareth , the Ship when he feareth The violence of salt Sea sourges . Ten thousand and ten to , of thease & like men to , Lyke Documentes haue left behinde them , Methinks that these pagons , may counsel good Christians , Sith life hath no suertie , nor longe time of puertie nor accedence that can preuaile vs , Let wisdome now win vs , to plant vertue in vs , With penitence eare life doth faile vs . ꝙ W. Elderton . Finis .
