Rightly a chary guider you may be
In vertues steps, sith walking we you see
Charily guiding of your selfe, that so,
Having the mastery, you may undergoe,
And reach unto by a more easie way,
Ruling of others with more noble sway.
Doe then your chary guiding still ensue,
Each one will say, a chary guide are you.

Vertue a medium is, and on each side
A two-fold by-path from the way doth guide ,
Vertuous Charity the vertue is:
Going on one side, we see covetize;
Have on the other side then but an eye,
And you shall looke on prodigality.
Much warinesse we need then, and we see
Endeed a wary guider had of thee.
