Shewyth nowe adayes howe the worlde comberyd is,

To the pythe of the mater who lyst to resorte;

To day it is well, to morowe it is all amysse,

To day in delyte, to morowe bare of blysse,

To day a lorde, to morowe ly in the duste;

Thus in this worlde there is no erthly truste;

To day fayre wether, to morowe a stormy rage,

To day hote, to morowe outragyous colde, 2570

To day a yoman, to morowe made of page,

To day in surety, to morowe bought and solde,
