The state of life, out of the griesly shade.

That substance is eterne, and bideth so,

Ne when the life decayes, and forme does fade,

Doth it consume, and into nothing go,

But chaunged is, and often altred to and fro.

For euery substance is conditioned

To change her hew, and sundry formes to don,

Meet for her temper and complexion:
