Betokened many meruaylous fyres grete
On them to lyght that wolde his purpose lete
In the fyre clerest of euery element
God hath appered vnto many a one
Inspyrynge them / with grete wytte refulgent
Who lyst to rede many dayes agone
Many one wryteth trouthe / yet cõforte hath he none
Wherfore I fere me / lyke a swarme of bees
Wylde fyre wyll lyght amonge a thousande pees
¶ Sepe expugnauerunt me a iuuentute mea: et enim non potuerunt michi.
