The gifts of good which Learning wrought
To vain attempts seduced are.

Withdrawes his mīde from Vertues lore:
And feeds his wit with worldly guiles,
Which retchlesse life, makes Age deplore.

His Parents woords and weeping eyes,
Can not perswade him vnto good:
(But as vnmeet) their speech defies,
As though that Reson it withstood.

Yet when his youthful yeeres are spent,
And Age with stealing steps drawes ny:
With tristfull teares his cheeks besprent,
To late his Fancies shall defie.
