That I of hardynes may be the pryncypall

And of dame prudence & nature with all

Than sayd dame nature that may not be

As I can proue by ryght and reason

For I am moost confort to humanyte

As man well knoweth at euery encheason

And can not be forborne for none season

For where I lacke without ony delay

Man is but dede and turned to clay

That nature gyueth by her power
