Epigram. 85.

[What man is there a tenaunt but at will]

What man is there a tenaunt but at will,
Knowing he may, as now, be turned out:

VVill, on no further hopes, be building still?
And decke his house, and garnish it about?
Yet we decke vp our corps, and make them gay,
Likely for ought we know, to die to day.
