Ffor whanne erthe apon erthe ys brought wyth-in the brynke,
20
Than ys erthe apon erthe botte a fowle stynke.
6 Erthe apon erthe knowethe eche day
Howe erthe cometh to the erthe naked alle waye.
Why schulde erthe apon erthe go stowte or gay,
24
Syth erthe apon erthe schal passe in pore aray?
7 I cowncelle erthe apon erthe that wonderly hath wroughte
Whyles that erthe ys apon erthe to turne all hys thoughte,
