¶ This the Authour wrote vpon an excel∣lent Bowler and his Friend, aptly re∣sembling Mans life to a game at Bowles.
The World is the Alley where we play,
The Bowles we play with, Creatures that we vse;
The Rubs the Passions of our minds, the way
Needs no Ground-giuer, there's but one to chuse
The way of all Flesh: Seauen's our Game we say,
(For Seauen yeere is liues-lease that limits vs)
The Blocke our end, which when it draweth on,
We poake our Bowles, and so our Game is done.
