Epig. IX. In pecuniæ penuriam.

Mone I for monie, is the common crie;
Yet yong and old men both can tell you why,
When man is yong, he spends vpon his pleasures,
When man is old, he hoords vp golden treasures,
Out of the yong mans schoole of Venerie
The old man learnes his art of Vsurie;

Then in each age, since monie first was knowne;
This is the cause that men for monie mone,
Yong men doe spend all; therefore yong men want,
Old men doe hoord all: therefore monies scant.
