3 Erth vppon erth wynnis castyllis & tovris.
Then sayþe erth to erth: ‘Al þis is ourus’.
When erth vppon erth has bylde al his bovres,
16
Then schal erth fro þe erth soffyre scharpe schorrys,
Ande smarte.
Man, amende þe betyme, þi lyfe ys but a starte.
4 Erth gose on erth as molde vponne molde,
20
Lyke as erth to þe erth neuer a-gayne scholde;
