OPPORTVNE TIBI INTEMPESTIVE NOBIS.

The Sunne past by degrees those signes
Which to his sotherne seate inclines,
And now in Leo sate aloft.
The sweating labourer bans him oft,
The Shepheard melts, and ore the Plaine
His new shorne-sheepe seeke shades in vaine.

They say by him are Banckrupt made.
He heares it and (at height of noone,
Hides his bright beames behinde the Moone.

Dearth, death, warre, want to euery age
And then his late wisht absence mone;
“Fooles wisemen misse, when they are gone.
