[The tyme os sowing is called tedious] |
A dyall of dayly Contemplacion, or deuine exercise of the mind | ||
[The tyme os sowing is called tedious]
The tyme os sowing is called tedious,But of the reaping svveete is the seasoune,
So of good life beginnyng is laborous,
Then folovveth fruite of honour and renoune,
Euerlasting life, and eke an heauenly crowne,
Therefore, O youth, in these thy yeeres greene,
Fyght feruently vvith harty affection,
And tyre not that triumph eternall to obtayne.
