[Sith Crasus wealth, with Crassus pompe, & Midas golde is skant]
Sith Crasus wealth, with Crassus pompe, & Midas golde is skant,It shall suffice to wishe you well, good will shall neuer wante:
that of your helth good fame & welth, your willers wel might vaūt.

Atropos and Lachesis with Clotho graunt you the lyfe of
Long lyfed Næstor, whose youth not soone being cut off,
Aged and hoarte as Hyems who did not call him?
Wrinkled, yet sugred in wordes, so who hath not termde him?
