Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale,

Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man,
And bitter shame hath spoiled the sweet world's taste,
That it yields nought but shame and bitterness.

With old odd ends, stol'n out of holy writ,

With old odd ends, stol'n out of holy writ,
And seem a saint when most I play the devil.

As proofs of holy writ.
