Epig. 39. Man is a Stage-Player .
Mans Life's a Tragike Comedie,Hope is his Argument;
The Prologue Faith; the Acts are Loue,
The Stage Earths Continent.
And in this Manner, when, to Day,
Kings and Meane-Men doe end their Play;
To Morrow, others take their Roomes,
Whiles they doe fill vp Graues and Tombes.
