About my time the Princes liu’de not long,
For all were giuen almost to vice and wrong:
My selfe voluptuous was abandond quite,
To take in fleshly lust my whole delite:
A pleasure vile, that drawes a man from [all good] thrifte and grace,
Doth iust desires, and heauenly thoughtes expell:
Decayes the corps,[689] defiles the soule, [the factes] and fame deface,
And bringes him downe to Plutoe’s paynes of hell.
