Wherfore by reason I must be duplifyde;

And nothing stable in myne hye werke,

As wryteth many a ryght noble clerke.

Therfore by reason I must be mutable,

And turne my whele right ofte up so downe,

Labouringe in werkes whiche are unstable,

On some to laughe and on some I must frowne;

Thus all aboute in every realme and towne,

I shew my power in every sundry wyse,

Some to descende and on some to aryse.
