SUsteine, absteine, kepe well in your minde Beare and forbeare, have ever in remembraunce For ye shall therby great quietnes finde In all your life whatsoever doeth chaunce It is the onely thing that may you avaunce And make you to be estemed verely Among all other for the moost happy. BEare trouble and payne, beare slaunder and blame Beare wordes displeasaunt, be they never so soure Forbeare ye in any wise to other to do the same Forbeare to revenge though it be in your power Let never your anger remaine with you an howre Forbeare your owne pleasure beare your neighbors miserye And you of all other shalbe most happie. IF ye be gainesaide forbeare for a season Forbeare to resist when you thinke to offende Beare others ignoraunce, forbeare your owne reason Till occasion be geven you them to amende Then utter your wisedome as God shall it sende Observe your times, and forbeare discreatly And ye of all other shal be most happie. BEare Christes Crosse when it is laide on your backe That is to saye all maner of adversitie Which when you in your owne person do lacke Helpe other to beare that overladen be Beare with them that beare with all humilitie So shall this word be verefied accordingly That ye of all other be the most happie. Forbeare rashe judgement till the trothe be tryed, Forbeare all hastines, speake wordes of charitie, Forbeare extreme punishment, though the fault be spied, To much in all thinges is counted iniquitie, Temper your actes with susteine, absteine, Beare, forbeare, and then shall ye truelye Of all living creatures be the most happie.
