To wryte and to rede well

From "A booke in Englysh metre, of the great Marchaunt man called Diues Pragmaticus, very preaty for children to rede" published in 1563.

Honest myrth in measure, is a pleasaunt thyng,
To wryte and to rede well, be gyftes of learnyng:
Remember this well, all you that be young,
Exercise vertue, and rule well your toung.
