| Here helms and swords are made of chalices | B |
| The blood of Christ is sold so much the quart | C |
| His cross and thorns are spears and shields and short | C |
| Must be the time ere even his patience cease | B |
| Nay let him come no more to raise the fees | B |
| Of this foul sacrilege beyond report | C |
| For Rome still flays and sells him at the court | C |
| Where paths are closed to virtue's fair increase | B |
| Now were fit time for me to scrape a treasure | D |
| Seeing that work and gain are gone while he | E |
| Who wears the robe is my Medusa still | F |
| God welcomes poverty perchance with pleasure | D |
| But of that better life what hope have we | E |
| When the blessed banner leads to nought but ill | F |
