English poem
Envy
by Stephen Hawes (1474–1523)
And, erth, for erth why hast thou envy? And the erth upon erth to be more prosperous Than thou thy selfe fretting the inwardly? It is a sinne right foule and vicious, And unto God also full odious. Thou thinkest, I trow, there is no punishment Ordeyned for sinne by egall judgement.
