Before my face the picture hangs	B
That daily should put me in mind	C
Of those cold names and bitter pangs	B
That shortly I am like to find	C
But yet alas full little I	D
Do think hereon that I must die	D
	-
I often look upon a face	E
Most ugly grisly bare and thin	F
I often view the hollow place	E
Where eyes and nose had sometimes been	F
I see the bones across that lie	D
Yet little think that I must die	D
	-
I read the label underneath	G
That telleth me whereto I must	H
I see the sentence eke that saith	G
Remember man that thou art dust	H
But yet alas but seldom I	D
Do think indeed that I must die	D
	-
Continually at my bed's head	I
A hearse doth hang which doth me tell	J
That I ere morning may be dead	I
Though now I feel myself full well	J
But yet alas for all this I	D
Have little mind that I must die	D
	-
The gown which I do use to wear	K
The knife wherewith I cut my meat	L
And eke that old and ancient chair	K
Which is my only usual seat	L
All these do tell me I must die	D
And yet my life amend not I	D
	-
My ancestors are turned to clay	M
And many of my mates are gone	N
My youngers daily drop away	M
And can I think to 'scape alone	O
No no I know that I must die	D
And yet my life amend not I	D
	-
Not Solomon for all his wit	P
Nor Samson though he were so strong	Q
No king nor person ever yet	R
Could 'scape but death laid him along	Q
Wherefore I know that I must die	D
And yet my life amend not I	D
	-
Though all the East did quake to hear	S
Of Alexander's dreadful name	T
And all the West did likewise fear	U
To hear of Julius Caesar's fame	T
Yet both by death in dust now lie	D
Who then can 'scape but he must die	D
	-
If none can 'scape death's dreadful dart	V
If rich and poor his beck obey	M
If strong if wise if all do smart	V
Then I to 'scape shall have no way	M
Oh grant me grace O God that I	D
My life may mend sith I must die	D
