12. A wise man onely may properly be said
to enjoy life.
HIs life is short, who present times neglects,
Feares times to come, and hath past-times forgot:
Or rather, while he breaths his Age, hee makes
A base abode in time, but liveth not;
For onely hee leades, in judicious eyes,
The longest life, who lives, till he be wise.
