GOOD aged Bale:
that with thy hoary heares
Doste yet persyste
to turne the painful booke,
O happye man,
that hast obtained such yeares,
And leavst not yet,
on papers pale to looke,
Gyve over now
to beate thy weryed brayne,
And rest thy pen
that long hath laboured soore.
For aged men
unfit sue is such paine,
And the beseems
to laboure now no more,
But thou I thynke
Don Platoes part will playe
With booke in hand,
to have thy dyeng day.
