167. Worldly Joy is only Fantasy
This warldly Ioy Is onely fantasy,of quhich none erdly wicht can be content.
Quho most has wit, leste suld In It affy,
Quho taistis It most, most sall him repent.
Quhat valis all this richess and this rent,
Sin no man wate quho sall his tresour haue?
Presume nocht gevin þat god has done bot lent—
Within schort tyme the quhiche he thinkis to craue.
Leaulte vault richess.
