The seconde rule

Thynke in this wretched worldes besy woo

The batayll more sharpe & lenger is Iwys

With more laboure and lesse fruyte also

In whiche the ende of laboure: labour is

And when the worlde hath left vs after this

Uoyde of all vertue: the rewarde when we dye

Is nought but fyre and payne perpetually
