Si quis sentiet quo tendet & vnde veniret Num quoth gauderet: set in omni tempore fleret.

He sayeth, who that wyll fele and se
Whence he cōmeth, and whyther shall he
All maner myrthes, he shulde forsake
And euer wepe, and sorowe make
For who that of a man, had than a syght
When wormes had gnawen hym out ryght
And eaten his flesshe, in to the harde bone


So horryble a syght, sawe he neuer none
As he myght se in that carkayes
As saynt Bernarde wytnesseth and sayes.
