[But novve alacke youthy yeeres and innocence]

But novve alacke youthy yeeres and innocence,
To vice and vertue vvhich is indifferent,
So soked is in sinne and insolence,
Through euill examples, and liberty verament,
That of youthy yeeres time is mispent.
Though meete it be, that lost lyfe be refound,
Euyll vsage maketh so great impediment,
It vvyll not be but Gods grace more abound.
