[When I remember of this world]
When I remember of this world, what I therein do know, how all the pleasures of the same, but vaine in th'end do grow. O Lord say I happy they be, who yu doost entertain, for they shal euerlastingly, in perfect ioyes remaine: O Lord say I happy they be, who thou doost entertaine, for they shall euerlastingly, in perfect ioyes remaine.
Thomas VVhythorne.
