‘O mortall folke’

Stephen Hawes (d. 1523)

O MORTALL folke, you may beholde and see

How I lye here, sometime a mighty knight:

The end of joy and all prosperite

Is death at last, thorough his course and mighte:

After the daye, there cometh the darke nighte,

For though the daye be never so long,

At last the belle ringeth to evensong.
