[What profit hath the' ambitious man]
Yet all this availeth me nothing.
—v. 13.
What profit hath the' ambitious man,
Of earthly goods possess'd?
Something he wants, but cannot gain,
Which cankers all the rest:
His canker'd all as nothing weighs;
And if the world be won,
He soon must go to his own place,
Eternally undone.
