[Pueritia virtutibus imbuenda]
EuripidesPueritia virtutibus imbuenda,
Institutiones prime, in primis diuturne.
what thing a man in tender age hath most in vre,
The same to death alwaies to keepe he shal be sure,
therfore in age who greatly longeth good fruit to mow
in youth he must applye himselfe good seede to sowe.

as long as a tunne or a vessell may last,
of the first licour it kepeth the taste:
and youth being seasoned in vertuous labour,
will euer after therof kepe the sauour.
