THE THIRD FOR WEALTH.

Wealth is a power that passeth nature farre:

Makes euery goose a swanne, and sparke a starre:

Queene money, bringes and giues with royall hands

Freinds, kindred, honour, husband, house and lands;

Not a faire face, but fortune faire, I craue,

Lett mee want witte soe I fooles' fortune haue.
