Spring of all woe O den of curssed ireC
Scoole of errour temple of heresyeD
Thow Pope I meane head of hypocrasyeD
Thow and thie churche unsaciat of desyreC
Have all the world filled full of myseryeD
Well of disceate thow dungeon full of fyreC
That hydes all truthe to breed idolatrieC
Thow wicked wretche Chryste cannot be a lyerC
Behold therefore thie judgment hastelyeD
Thye first founder was gentill povertieE
But there against is all thow dost requyreC
Thow shameless beaste wheare hast thow thie trustE
In thie whoredome or in thie riche attyreC
Loe Constantyne that is turned into dustE
Shall not retourne for to mayntaine thie lustE
But now his heires that might not sett thee higherC
For thie greate pryde shall teare thye seate asonderC
And scourdge thee so that all the world shall wonderC

Fountain of sorrows centre of mad ireC
Rank error's school and fane of heresyH
Once Rome now Babylon the false and freeH
Whom fondly we lament and long desireC
O furnace of deceits O prison direC
Where good roots die and the ill weed grows a treeH
Hell upon earth great marvel will it beH
If Christ reject thee not in endless fireC
Founded in humble poverty and chasteE
Against thy founders lift'st thou now thy hornI
Impudent harlot Is thy hope then placedE
In thine adult'ries and thy wealth ill bornI
Since comes no Constantine his own to claimJ
The vext world must endure or end its shameJ
