Now why that erthe luves erthe, wondere me thinke, Or why that erthe for erthe sholde other swete or swinke: For when that erthe upon erthe es broghte withinbrinke, Thane shall erthe of erthe have a foulle stinke. Now, why earth loves earth, I wonder to think, Or why earth for earth should either sweat or labour: For when earth upon earth comes within the grave's brink, Then earth upon earth shall have a foul stink.
