Erth berys pride in herte & in cloth,

When erth is layde in erth þan xal it be loth.

16 Erthly coveytous makyth erth to be schent,

56

Erth for this erth yeldis a gret rent,

If erth in thys erth levyd in good entent

Than dare erthe nevyr recke where that he went.

17 Erth vp-on erth is stronge as a mast,

60

And erth wyth is erth fyghtys ful fast,
