[VVhen men to things temporall doo beare affection]
VVhen men to things temporall doo beare affection,They least esteeme of euerduring blisse,
VVherevpon in nature ryseth such corruption,
That oft who on earth most prosperous is:
Of the heauenly beautitude most of all mis,
Their carnall lust a bondage dooth become,
To them selues, who then would consider of this,
For transitorie pleasure should eternall paines shone.
