Epig. 25 In Ea: Wrightington.

If ventrous youth now in his chiefest prime,
To vertues loue be wholy thus addicted,
What doth graue old, with milke-white haires in time?
Assure vs of one vice to be afflicted?
For by and by the plant doth straight appeare,
Which afterward great-store of fruit will beare.
