[Nathles in respect of that eternall glory]
Nathles in respect of that eternall glory,All worldly ioy is but fond ianglyng,
And beauty braue is but deformity,
Sweete thinges are sowre, myrth, very mournyng,
Or what so euer other delectable thyng,
All is required but payne in comparison,
And worldly wealth is very vomentyng,
In respect of heauenly store of graces many one.
