[O wicked world wrapped in wretchednesse]
O wicked world wrapped in wretchednesse,Fye on thy fraude and fickle felicitie:
Fye on thy balefull blundred businesse,
Thy blandeshing blindnesse in prosperitie.
Hedged with Hawthorne, care, and calamity,
VVith drede, dolour, and double disease:
Thy pleasant poyson slayth soule and body,
So rewardest thou such as seeke thee to please.
