The text:
What is life, or worldly plea-sure?
What is wealth or golden treasure?
What is grace or Princes' smiling?
What are all in one combined,
which divided so displease?
Apish toys, and vain delights,
mind's unrest and soul's disease.
Seeming shadows quickly slid-ing.
Borrowed fortune never biding.
Hopéd honor, time beguiling.
What are all in one combined
which divided so displease?
