Which plunged[485] had faire Ladie in so wretched state.

Then turning to his[486] Palmer said, Old syre lvii

Behold the image of mortalitie,

And feeble nature cloth’d with fleshly tyre,

The strong it weakens with infirmitie,

And with bold furie armes the weakest hart;

The strong through pleasure soonest falles, the weake through smart.
