First Line: Speak thou and speed, where will or power aught helpeth
Last Line: Of good and bad the triers are these twain.
Alternate Author Name(s): Wyat, Thomas
Subject(s): Wealth; Riches; Fortunes


Speak thou and speed, where will or power aught helpeth,
Where power doth want, will must be won by wealth;
For need will speed, where will works not his kind,
And gain, thy foes, thy friends, shall cause thee find.
For suit and gold, what do not they obtain?
Of good and bad the triers are these twain.
