MUNDUS QUALIS.
What is the world? tell, worldling, if thou know it.
If it be good, why do all ills o’erflow it?
If it be bad, why dost thou like it so?
If it be sweet, how comes it bitter then?
If it be bitter, what bewitcheth men? 5
If it be friend, why kills it, as a foe,
Vain-minded men that over-love and lust it?
