[XXVII. O Wretched man]
O wretched man, O wretched man, why lou'st thou earthly life?O wretched man, O wretched man, why lou'st thou earthly life? Which naught enioyes but cares and endlesse trouble? What pleasure here but breeds a world of griefe? What howers ease that anguish doth not double? No earthly ioyes but haue their discontents, but haue their discontents, Then loath that life, which causeth such laments.
