Post hominem vermis, post vermen fetor & horror Et sic in non hominem, vertitur omnis homo.

He sayeth after death, man is worme become
And after wormes, to stenche he is nome
And so euery man, here tourned shall he be
Fro man in to no man, as it were nat he
Thus may men se, as it is wryte
Howe that a man, in his mother is behyght
And of this matter, more myght I tell
But no lenger theron, thynke I to dwell.
