â§_o the_o lamentation_n of_o follie_n to_o the_o tune_n of_o new_a rogero_n alas_o what_o mean_v man_n with_o care_n and_o greedy_a pain_n to_o wrest_v to_o win_v a_o worldly_a fame_n which_o be_v but_o vile_a and_o vain_a as_o though_o he_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o doubt_v the_o drift_n of_o his_o desire_n not_o please_v though_o he_o rule_v the_o rout_n but_o still_o to_o covet_v high_o and_o wander_v after_o will_n far_o pass_v his_o degree_n not_o so_o content_v still_o but_o a_o king_n himself_o to_o be_v subvert_v law_n and_o right_n detect_v trial_n true_a wring_v every_o wight_n that_o all_o the_o realm_n do_v rue_v who_o deed_n and_o ill_a desert_n compart_n and_o false_a consent_n i_o think_v no_o christian_a heart_n can_v choose_v but_o needs_o lament_v alas_o it_o seem_v strange_a such_o thraldom_n in_o a_o realm_n which_o wealthy_a be_v to_o waste_v away_o by_o will_n that_o be_v extreme_a sith_o virtue_n be_v profess_v most_o famous_a frank_a and_o free_a yet_o man_n transpose_v clean_o more_o vile_a and_o worse_a to_o be_v and_o such_o as_o do_v pretend_v to_o show_v themselves_o most_o holy_a have_v swerve_v in_o the_o end_n and_o fawn_v after_o folly_n who_o word_n so_o disagree_v as_o water_n come_v and_o go_v their_o live_n to_o be_v contrary_a that_o shall_v example_n show_v and_o fawn_v after_o fame_n pursue_v their_o own_o decay_n as_o though_o there_o be_v no_o god_n to_o call_v their_o life_n away_o what_o surety_n be_v in_o man_n what_o truth_n or_o trust_n at_o all_o which_o frame_v what_o he_o can_v to_o work_v unworthy_a thrall_n oppression_n have_v be_v free_a the_o poor_a alas_o be_v spoil_v maid_n and_o wife_n be_v ravish_v the_o simple_a be_v beguile_v law_n be_v make_v a_o liberty_n and_o right_o be_v overthrow_v faith_n be_v but_o a_o foolish_a thing_n falsehood_n be_v alone_o pride_n be_v count_v clenlinesse_n and_o theft_n be_v but_o a_o slight_a whoredom_n be_v but_o wantonness_n and_o waste_n be_v but_o delight_n spoil_v be_v but_o pleasure_n riot_n be_v but_o youth_n slander_n be_v a_o laugh_a game_n and_o lie_v count_v truth_n marriage_n be_v but_o mochage_n the_o child_n count_v base_a thus_o right_o be_v wrong_v every_o way_n in_o our_o accurse_a case_n flattery_n be_v the_o fort_n of_o fame_n and_o truth_n be_v tread_v down_o the_o innocent_a do_v bear_v the_o blame_n the_o wicked_a win_v renown_n thus_o satan_n have_v prevail_v long_o and_o we_o for_o want_v of_o grace_n have_v tread_v virtue_n under_o foot_n and_o vice_n have_v take_v place_n but_o god_n that_o be_v most_o righteous_a have_v see_v our_o fatal_a fall_n and_o spread_v his_o mercy_n over_o we_o to_o shield_v we_o from_o the_o thrall_n who_o mercy_n be_v so_o infinite_a to_o such_o as_o be_v oppress_v he_o have_v restore_v they_o to_o right_v and_o have_v their_o care_n redress_v and_o though_o that_o our_o unworthiness_n have_v not_o deserve_v so_o now_o let_v we_o cease_v our_o wickedness_n and_o graft_v where_o grace_n may_v grow_v and_o let_v we_o pray_v for_o our_o defence_n our_o worthy_a queen_n elect_v that_o god_n may_v work_v his_o will_n in_o she_o our_o thraldom_n to_o correct_v that_o god_n be_v chief_o serve_v so_o as_o do_v to_o he_o belong_v that_o right_o may_v have_v his_o course_n again_o and_o vanquish_v wicked_a wrong_n that_o we_o may_v live_v in_o fear_n and_o awe_n and_o true_o to_o intend_v and_o have_v the_o justice_n of_o the_o law_n our_o cause_n to_o defend_v that_o truth_n may_v take_v his_o wont_a place_n and_o faith_n be_v fast_o again_o and_o then_o repent_v and_o
