[O loath that Loue whose fynall ayme is Lust]

O loath that Loue whose fynall ayme is Lust
Moth of the mynde, Eclipse of Reasons light
The graue of Grace, the mole of Natures Rust
The wracke of witt, the wronge of euery wight.
In Sum̄e an euill, whose harmes no tonge can tell
In wch to Liue is death, to dye is Hell.
