“Some thought to raise themselves to high degree<\/p>\n
By riches and unrighteous reward,<\/p>\n
Some by close shouldring, some by flateree;<\/p>\n
Others through friendes, others for base regard;<\/p>\n
And all by wrong waies for themselves prepared.<\/p>\n
Those that were up themselves, kept others low,<\/p>\n
Those that were low themselves, kept others hard,<\/p>\n
Ne suffred them to ryse or greater grow,<\/p>\n
But every one did strive his fellow down to throw.”<\/p>\n
