...u art 
In royall aray; 
And now ye daintie Damsells may depart 
Eche one her way. 
I feare I have troubled your troupes to longe: 50

And if you come hether 
When Damsines I gether,

...rland so,
That it, despisde, in true but naked shew
Might winne some grace in your sweet grace arraid;
And oft whole troupes of saddest words I staid,
Striuing abroad a-foraging to go,
Vntill by your inspiring I might know
How their blacke banner might be best displaid.
But now I meane no more your helpe to try,
Nor other sugring of my speech to proue,
But on her name incessantly to cry;
For let me but name her whom I doe loue,
So sweet sounds straight mine ear...Read more of this...

And flocks and shepheards caused to rejoyce. 

But now, ye Shepheard lasses! who shall lead 
Your wandring troupes, or sing your virelayes? 
Or who shall dight your bowres, sith she is dead 
That was the Lady of your holy-dayes? 
Let now your blisse be turned into bale, 
And into plaints convert your joyous playes, 
And with the same fill every hill and dale.

...reath, 
Drawn by the rumour of the Dance of Death. 

From Seine's cold quays to Ganges' burning stream, 
The mortal troupes dance onward in a dream; 
They do not see, within the opened sky, 
The Angel's sinister trumpet raised on high. 

In every clime and under every sun, 
Death laughs at ye, mad mortals, as ye run; 
And oft perfumes herself with myrrh, like ye 
And mingles with your madness, irony!"...Read more of this...

And towards it a broad high way that led,
All bare through peoples feet, which thither traveiled.

Great troupes of people traveild thitherward
Both day and night, of each degree and place,
But few returned, having scaped hard,
With balefull beggerie, or foule disgrace,
Which ever after in most wretched case,
Like loathsome lazars, by the hedges lay.
