57. Times abuse.

Each Creature, did complaine of some abuse,
Offered by others, void of all excuse,
And vnto Man (as Iudge) they did complaine,
Of Time, who suffered such abuses raigne,
Man (an vnfitting Iudge in such an Act)
Iudgeth Time accessary to the Fact,
And wisht him to reforme what was amisse,
(Which Time effecting) made as now it is.
Then Time complaines of Mans abuses to him,
And for a reformation oft did moue him,
But Man that past (though past not for Times pleas)
Times Precious houres, doth add to wrong delaies;
And Time incen'st, sends forth his Sergeant, Death,
Man to arrest, and stop his vitall breath,
But Man, (growne old in sinne and age) did faile,
To make redresse; And Death would take no baile.
