My prime of youth is but a frost of cares

My prime of youth is but a frost of cares, my feast of ioy is but a dish of paine, a dish of pain, my crop of corne is but a field of tares and all my good is but vain hope of gaine, vaine hope of gaine, my life is fled is fled, & yet I saw no sun, & now I liue, and now now now, now my life my life is done, my life is fled is fled, and yet I saw no sunne, and now I liue, & now now now, my life, my life is done.
