| To S.r Henry Goodyeere mouing |
| him to trauell. |
|
| Who makes the past a patterne for next yeere [189] |
| Turnes no new leafe, but still the same thing reads |
| Seene things hee sees agayne, heard things hee heares |
| And makes his life but as a payre of beads |
|
| A Pallace when tis that w.ch it should bee |
| Leaues growing, and stands such, or else decayes |
| But he w.ch dwells there is not so, for hee |
| Seemes to vrge vpward, and his fortunes rayse. |
|
| So had yor body her Morning, hath her noone |
| And shall not better, her next change is night |
| But her fayre larger guest, to whome Sunn and Moone |
| Are sparks and short liu'd, claymes another right |
|
| The noble soule by Age growes lustyer |
| Her Appetite and her digestion mend |
| Wee must not sterue nor hope to pamper her |
| With woemens milke and papp vntill her end |
|
| Prouide you manlyer dyet, you haue seene |
| All Libraryes, w.ch ar Schooles lamps, and corts |
| But aske your garners if you haue not bin |
| In haruest too indulgent to yor sports
