“The heather seed serves the sickness in the breast
Wan, which is completely and even
filled with a lot of slime : Drumb serving, I'm here To help this knowledge,
A heart full of goodness that easily quiets the evil,
And serves as it likes, To everyone's joy '
Because virtue always and dear' wells out of such a thing:
Such a noble courage can serve fruitfully
because it takes care of its neighbors faithfully. "
