That he shall neuer thryue ne come to his behoue
That weddyth a wyfe for gode and nat for loue
The enuoy of Barklay.
Alas man myndles what is thyne intent
To wed for ryches, that weddynge I defy
Maryage was ordeyned by god omnypotent
In goddes lawes the worlde to multyply
Wherfore that man that wyll therto aply
And wolde haue the profyte of faythfull maryage
This worldly ryches ought no thynge to set by
