Yee worthy wights aliue, which loue your countrey’s weale, And for your prince’s porte such warres doe vndertake, Learne so for countrey your’s with forayne foes to deale, See that of manhood good, so great accompts yee make: It nothing vayles in peace, to sweare, stur, face, or crake: In werres hee winnes the fame of noble wight Who warlike deales, for prince and publique right. 32. Yf you so poynted bee, to serue your prince in war, As erste was I, and muste before the muster take, Retayne such souldiers as well made, strong, seemely ar Brought vp to labour harde, of such accompt doe make: These able are at neede to stand and keepe the stake, When facing foysters fit for _Tiburne_ frayes Are foodesicke faynt, or hartsicke run theyr wayes. 33. At home a man may finde a nomber euery day, Which weare theyr weapons still, as all the worlde were war, And keepe a coyle to beare the best of blades away, With buclers braue at backs, to shew what men they are: In peace at home they sweare, stare, foyste, royst, fight, and iar: But when abroade they feare of warres the smarte, Some better souldiers yede[1875] from driueing cart. 34. In warres to serue, as wee, and weapons haue When warlike stormes do rage, beseemes a warlike man: In pleasaunt peace who sets him selfe to bandeing braue, And faceing fares at home, abroade doe nothing can, Though nere so much hee boaste, fie on him cowerd than: For not in gauntlet, sworde, targ, oathes, hayre, staring eyes, But in the breast, good courage, vertue lyes. 35. But here, perhaps you say, I fall a noate too lowe, Beneath the persons of these worthy peeres and mee: Tis true indeede, and yet such fruite hereof may growe, As eke the meane hereby, his iarring out may see: Without good meane, the song can neuer sweetly gree: Leaue out the meane, or let him keepe no tune, And you shall sing when Easter falles in June. 36. Euen so, if meaner sorts doe iangle here and iar To languish vnder _Mars_, but fill good peace with fight, As discorde foule in musike, fit they for the war, They neuer can atchiue the victory aright: Leade such as square or feare, then farewell all, good night: A sheepe is euen as good to starteing, stand, and beae: As hee that iangles, wrangles, rangles, runnes aweae. 37.
