They were content alway wyth suffisaunce,
They coveyted not no worldly treasure,
For they knewe that it myght not endure.
But nowe a dayes the contrary is used:
To wynne the mony theyr studyes be all set.
The commen profyt is often refused,
For well is he that may the money get
From his neyghbour wythout any let.
They thynke nothynge they shall from it pas,
Whan all that is shall be tourned to was.
