Quære adolescens, vtere senex.
VVhilst youthe doth laste, with liuelie sappe, and strengthe,With sweate of browe, see that for age thou toyle:
And when the same, arresteth thee at lengthe,
Then take thy rest, let younglinges worke, and moyle:
And vse thy goodes, which thou in yowthe haste wonne,
To cheare thy harte, whil'st that thy glasse shal ronne.
