| Non est fulleris haec beata non est | A |
| Quod vos creditis esse vita non est | A |
| Fulgentes manibus videre gemmas | B |
| Et testudineo jacere lecto | A |
| Aut pluma latus abdidisse molli | C |
| Aut auro bibere aut cubare cocco | D |
| Regales dapibus gravare mensas | B |
| Et quicquid Lybico secatur arvo | E |

| It is not y' are deceav'd it is not blisse | B |
| What you conceave a happy living is | B |
| To have your hands with rubies bright to glow | C |
| Then on your tortoise bed your body throw | C |
| And sink your self in down to drink in gold | A |
| And have your looser self in purple roll'd | A |
| With royal fare to make the tables groan | G |
| Or else with what from Lybick fields is mown | G |
| Nor in one vault hoard all your magazine | G |
| But at no cowards fate t' have frighted bin | G |
| Nor with the peoples breath to be swol'n great | A |
| Nor at a drawn stiletto basely swear | H |
| He that dares this nothing to him's unfit | A |
| But proud o' th' top of fortunes wheel may sit | A |
