Thus brabbling 'gainst all things he heares or sees,
Impatient at his froward fortunes wrongs:
No sensu'all obiect with his sence agrees.
All pleasures his dispeasure more prolongs:
At length he carues vpon the thick-bark'd trees
These vnder written sad lamenting songs.
And as my weake inuention vnderstood,
His farewell thus, was grau'd vpon the wood.
