Which, with pain purchased, doth inherit pain:

To seek the light of truth, which truth the while
Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look.

World's use is cold, world's love is vain,
World's cruelty is bitter bane;
But pain is not read more

World's use is cold, world's love is vain,
World's cruelty is bitter bane;
But pain is not the fruit of pain.
