[Death vnto the wicked, is terrible euermore]
Death vnto the wicked, is terrible euermore,But vnto the godly, a comfort doubtles,
To liue well, eche man be carefull therefore,
And whyle thou hast light, refuse darknesse,
Behold the nine nobles of famous woorthynes,
As Dauid, Salomon, Hector, and Alexander,
Iulius Cæsar, and the rest of noble renowne
VVhose flickring fame through the world doth wander,
Hath not death by his dart laid them adowne?
