And yet shall erthe to erthe rather then he wolde.

5 Why erthe loueth erthe wondyr I may thynke,

Or why erthe for erthe wyll other swete or s[w]ynke,

Ffor when erthe in-to erthe ys brought withyn the brynke,

Than shall erthe of erthe haue a foule stynke.

6 Lo erthe opon erthe considere well thow may

How erthe commeth to erthe nakyd alway.
