What is the world? tell, Worldling (if thou know it).

If it be good, why do all ills o’erflow it?

If it be bad, why dost thou like it so?

If it be sweet, how come sit bitter then?

If it be bitter, what bewitcheth men?

If it be friend, why kills it (as a foe)

Vain-minded men that over-love and lust it?

If it be foe, Fondling, how dar’st thou trust it?

Thought:

“Life is a jest, and all things show it.
I thought so once; but now I know it.”
