5 O thou wreched erthe that on erthe trauayles nyght & daye
To fflorysshe[3] and paynt þe erthe with wanton araye;
Yet sshalle þou, erthe, for alle thy erthe, make þou it neuer so queynt or gaye,

Oute of thys erthe in to erthe to klyng as clot in claye.
6 O wrechyd man, why[4] art þou[5] prowde that of erth art maked,
And hyder thou broght no shrowde, bot pore com and nakyd?
Lewe thy syne and lyffe in ryght,
