Auctores incerte.

The englysh of these verses.

The honour of the false world doth passe
But the glory of heauen none ende has
If then thou folowe false fugitiue felicitie
Thy selfe shalbe fugitiue it must so be
Then remember nothynge continueth euer
The short mutable tyme that taryeth neuer
Suffers to no man no suerty for to haue
Tyl bytter death doth lay hym in his graue

Finis.
