Marke this wel, and graue it in youre mynde,
Howe many grete estates gone are before,
And howe after ye shal folowe by course of kynde:
Wherfore do for youresilfe; I can say no more.
Though ye be gouernours, moste precious in kynde,
Caste downe your crounes and costely appareyle,
Endored with golde and precyous stones of Ynde,
For al in the ende lytyl shal auayle;
Whan youre estates Deth lyketh to assayle,
Your bodyes bulgynge with a blyster sore,
