Epigr. 34. In Lætum.
Letus in vertuous manners may excell,But what neede hath he so rath to be good?
His strength of body which he knowes to well,
His life forbids him and his youthly blood.
Thus vice and pleasure haue our strength & prime,
And vertue hath, the leauings of them both.
She hath the orts and parings of our time.
Then when euen sinne our cation course doth loath,
We may be good, but must be aged furst.
Thus we are good neuer, or at our worst.
