Earth goes to earth, as mold to mold,
Earth treads on earth, glittering in gold,
Earth as to earth returne neare should,
Earth shall to earth goe ere he would,
Earth upon earth consider may,
Earth goes to earth naked away.
Earth, though on earth be stout and gay,
Shall from earth pass poore away.
Be merciful and charitable,
Relieve the poor as thou art able;
A shrowd to thy grave
Is all thou shalt have.

Mild courtesie gave place to pride:
Soft Mercie to bright Justice said,
O sister! we are both betray'd:
White Innocence lay on the ground
By Truth, and wept at either's wound.
The sons of Levi did lament,
Their lamps went out, their oil was spent.
Heav'n hath his soul, and only we
Spin out our lives in misery.
So, Death, thou missest of thy ends,
And kill'st not him, but kill'st his friends.
