What is this world? A net to snare the soule.

Whylst grasse, doth growe ofte sterues the seely stéede.

Promos and Cassandra (1578)

The riche mans wealth, is moste enemye vnto his health.

Byrds of a fether, best flye together.

Promos and Cassandra (1578)

What is this world, a net to snare the soule,
A masse of sinne, a desart of deceipt,
A momentes ioy, an age of wrecched dole:
A lure from grace, for flesh a lothsome baite,
Unto the minde a canker worme of care,
Unsure, uniust, in rendring man his share.
