As bo••ds being seald, are past recalling backe,
So age once com••, by no meanes can be shund.
As flo••d-gates helpe not, when the towne is drown'd,
So c••••••••••g helpes not, when gray haires are seene.
As co••ne consum'd, e••pence is ••ued too late,
So snow-white heads in vaine wish youth againe.
As physicke ••oots not for a bodie dead,
So counsell helpes not ages way ward head.
As fairest Sunnie dayes must haue their nights,
So goodliest youth old age at length affrights.
