13 Of the ages of diuers liuing
creatures.THe life of Man most commonly outweares,Being complete, fourescore and sixteene yeares:And these, nine times exceeds the pratling Crow;Yet doth the Hart that age foure times o're goe:And thrice his yeeres expirde, the Rauen dies:But those, the Phoenix nine times multiplies:Yet th'Hamadriades Nymphs, past compare,Breathe nine times longer then that Bird so rare.Those creatures vitall fates these bounds restraining,The rest God knowes, the secret Age ordaining.
Some men set before them these two others.
AHedge three yeeres, a Dog, three hedges courses:A Horse, three Dogs; a Man out-liues three Horses.
