And

On the shall come a tyraunt daungerous
whose name is yre withouten faute
To all vyce fyers and desyrous
And vnto vertue all waye contraryous
The whiche in seruauntes doth abounde
He may well say that he is curous
whome this vyce doth nat confounde

Madnes reyneth in his dongeon
Cursed murder that fals felon
Of his hous is as cheyf captayne
Here is a cursed relygyon
To hym that foloweth theyr trayne
Felony is his cheyf campyon
Peruersyte is his portere

Sythe thou art warned be thou wese
Lyst that he do to the outrage.
