Now all men mowe sen be me,
That worldys joy is vanyté.
I was a lady; now am I non.
I hadde worchepes; now it is begon.
I was fayr and gentil both.
Now ich man wyle my body loth.
My frendys, my godes me hav forsake.
To wyrmes mete now am I take.
Of al the world now haf I nozth
bitt gode dedes that I wrogth.
Only tho schuln abyde wit me.
Al other thynges aræ vanyte.

-- A.M. Kinghorn, Medieval Drama (1968).
