Poem by John Heywood

Of Going to Heaven and Hell

Of heaven or of hell, which go folk fastest to? 
To hell, fool! to hell go far more fast they do. 
The highway to both lieth thus as clerks tell, 
Uphill to heavenward, downhill to hell.

1. Of Holding an Inn
2. Of a Hand-gun and a Hand
3. Of Treading a Shoe Awry
4. What God Said to One. Otherwise. Thou art one of them to whom God bade Ho!
5. A Loss by the Devil’s Death. Otherwise. 4. The devil is dead: who shall his land rightly win?
