¶This memorial men / may have in mind you hearers take it of worth old and young And forsake myde / for he deceiveth you in y e end And remember beauty / five wits / strength / and discressio ̄ They all at y e last / do everyman forsake Save his good deeds / there doth he take But beware / for and they be small Before God / he hath no help at all None excuse may be there / for everyman Alas how shall he do than For after death / amends may no man make For than mercy and yet you doth him forsake If his reckoning be not clear / when he do cume God will say (item maledicti in ignem eternam. And he that hath his account hold & sound High in heaven / he shall be crounde Unto the which place / God bring us all thither That we may live / body and soul to together Thereto help the trynytye Say you for faint charytye.
