That fondly feare to loose your liberty;

without constraynt or dread of any ill:
the gentle birde feeles no captivity
within her cage, but singes and feeds her fill.
There pride dare not approch, nor discord spill

but simple truth and mutuall good will
seekes with sweet peace to salve each others wound.
There fayth doth fearlesse dwell in brasen towre,
and spotlesse pleasure builds her sacred bowre.
