| He who hath brush and colours and chance wise | B |
| Doth daub befouling walls and canvases | C |
| Is not a painter but unhelped by these | D |
| He who in art is masterful and wise | B |
| Cowls and the tonsure do not make a friar | A |
| Nor make a king wide realms and pompous wars | E |
| But he who is all Jesus Pallas Mars | F |
| Though he be slave or base born wears the tiar | A |
| Man is not born crowned like the natural king | G |
| Of beasts for beasts by this investiture | A |
| Have need to know the head they must obey | H |
| Wherefore a commonwealth fits men I say | H |
| Or else a prince whose worth is tried and sure | A |
| Not proved by sloth or false imagining | G |
