Poem: Care for Thy Soul as Thing of Greatest Price [1]

• Care for thy soul as thing of greatest price,
  Made to the end to taste of power divine,
  Devoid of guilt, abhorring sin and vice

• Care for thy corse, but chiefly for soul's sake;
  Cut off excess, sustaining food is best;
  To vanquish pride but comely clothing take

• Care in such sort that thou be sure of this:
  Care keep thee not from heaven and heavenly bliss.
