[There is no reason our misrule can arrest]
There is no reason our misrule can arrest,This vvretched vvord so farre vvakes our vvitte,
Invvard to vvysedome our vvyls vve doo not vvrest,
For Couetis hath vs in his chaine so knitte,
And vvicked examples of sinners can vs tvvit,
VVhat resteth more, vve shrinke not to trespas,
From this guilefull vvorld, as vve should neuer flitt,
But our vvylles vve vvorke, tyll out run be our glas.
