Dum in vitâ sumus in viâ.

THis Lif's our way, in which where ere we be We miss our path, if that felicitie Be not our utmost aym; towards which we meet With Cross-ways, Rubs and streights that cause our feet To stumble or to faint: yet must we on, What 're we meet, untill our journeys done.

Who follows close Gods call, and way runs best, Till he receives his penny, take his rest. In three parts of the vvorld I've been, novv come. To my last journey, that vvill bring me home.

Ed. Terry.
