Many vertues bokes to be in memory

Touchynge the trouthe well and sentencyously

But syth that his deth was intollerable

I praye god rewarde hym in lyfe perdurable

Amonge all thynges nothynge so prouffytable

As is scyence with the sentencyous scrypture

For worldly rychesse is often transmutable

As dayly dothe appere well in vre

Þet scyens a bydeth and is moost sure

After pouerte to attayne grete rychesse
