To Doctor Bale.
Good aged Bale:that with thy hoary heares
Doste yet persyste,
to turne the paynefull Booke,
that hast obtaynde suche yeares,
And leavst not yet,
on Papers pale to looke,
Gyue ouer now
to beate thy weryed brayns,
And rest thy Pen
that long hath laboured soore
For aged men
vnfyt sure is suche paine,
And the beseems
to laboure now no more,
But thou I thynke
Don Platoes part will playe
With Booke in hand,
to haue thy dyeng daye.
Finis.
