And where he wenyd great welth to get therby
He dyed in shame hunger and mysery.
Some dayly pray with marueylous besynes
Cryeng and syghynge to god omnypotent
For to haue plenty of welth ioy and ryches

O cursyd lyuers, o blynde men of intent
On suche desyres they set theyr mynde and thought
Whiche thousandes vnto shamefull ende hath brought
What profyted the myghty edefyces:
