OMNE HOMINUM GENUS IN TERRIS. — Metrum 6

"Alle the lynage of men that ben in erthe ben of semblable byrthe. On allone is fadir of thynges; on allone mynystreth alle thynges. He yaf to the sonne his bemes, he yaf to the moone hir hornes, he yaf the men to the erthe, he yaf the sterres to the hevene. He encloseth with membres the soules that comen from his heye sete. Thanne comen alle mortel folk of noble seed. Why noysen ye or bosten of your eldres? For yif thow loke youre bygynnyng, and God your auctour and yowr makere, thanne nis ther none forlyned wyght or ongentil, but if he noryssche his corage unto vices and forlete his propre byrthe.
