Fiue hundred pointes of good Husbandrie | ||
A description of life and riches.
Chap. 24.
Who
liuing, but daily discerne it he may,
how life as a shadow, doth vanish away.
And nothing to count on, so suer to trust:
as suer of death, and to turne into dust.
how life as a shadow, doth vanish away.
And nothing to count on, so suer to trust:
as suer of death, and to turne into dust.
The lands and the riches, that here we possesse,
be none of our owne, if a God we professe.
But lent vs of him, as his talent of gold:
which being demanded, who can it withhold?
be none of our owne, if a God we professe.
But lent vs of him, as his talent of gold:
which being demanded, who can it withhold?
God maketh no writing, that iustly doth say,
how long we shall haue it, a yeere or a day.
But leaue it we must (how soeuer we leeue:)
when Atrop shall pluck vs, from hence by the sleeue.
how long we shall haue it, a yeere or a day.
[28]
when Atrop shall pluck vs, from hence by the sleeue.
To death we must stoupe, be we high, be we lowe,
but how, and how sodenly, few be that knowe.
What carie we then, but a sheete to the graue:
to couer this carkas, of all that we haue?
but how, and how sodenly, few be that knowe.
What carie we then, but a sheete to the graue:
to couer this carkas, of all that we haue?
