[Suffysyth nowe this Graue/to whom all erthly thynge]
Suffysyth nowe this Graue/to whom all erthly thynge
Suffysed not/my mynde so hyghe was sette
Tyme that was shorte/my name wyde dyd sprynge
which fame by deth/is into shortnesse fette
Kynge Henry was I called/no man I thought my bette
Whose mynde some tyme/all Erth not suffysed
Suffysed not/my mynde so hyghe was sette
Tyme that was shorte/my name wyde dyd sprynge
which fame by deth/is into shortnesse fette
Kynge Henry was I called/no man I thought my bette
Whose mynde some tyme/all Erth not suffysed
Uiii. fote of Grounde nowe hath my Body comprysed.
Thou that this redeste/the parell of deth/and in me
Thou mayste beholde/the cource of euery wyght
That erthely is/wherfore prouyde and se
That thou wele may doo/shortly do it/& tyght
Dyffer not tyme/for I assertayne the Right
The worlde is transytory/and vnwarely men takyth
Cruell deth/from whom none astate escapeth.
