So euery true crysten man sholde do

As ferre as his power cometh vnto

dd .ii.

 I Sapyence am of the kynges counsayll

Whiche is clothed with purple that sygnyfyeth

The grace and the pulcrytude without fayll

Of grete vertues that in hym shyneth

For to no vyces he neuer enclyneth

Hauynge in his hede a fayre crowne royall

That sheweth his dygnyte to be regall

 Whiche to his people is the chefe glory

Thrugh whome his subgectes be dyrecte

And made obedyent to hym certaynly

At euery houre by ryght true effecte

But forthermore by good aspecte

He bereth a ball in his lefte hande

The whiche betokeneth as I vnderstande

 A kynge to be a good admynystratour

Vnto his subgectes in euery place

And to be for theym a good prouysour
