O happye man, 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.
