Epigram. 39. In Heredi petam.
Aged Leontus hath much land and wealth.And but one son, & that same one soo sickly,
Sickely to see his father in such health,
My proper squier looks the church-books weekly,
Compares his fathers with his grandsires yeares,
And how long all that lignage wont to liue,
And yet his father; O! and then he sweares
To haue him winded, what would he not giue?
Fie on this sinne of sonnes, for not this one,
But many thousands wish their fathers gone.
