Then sumwhat foltring, and as yit not firme of foote, he standes By getting sumwhat for to helpe his sinewes in his handes. From that tyme growing strong and swift, he passeth foorth the space Of youth: and also wearing out his middle age apace, Through drooping ages steepye path he ronneth out his race. This age dooth undermyne the strength of former yeares, and throwes It downe. Which thing old Milo by example playnely showes. For when he sawe those armes of his (which heeretofore had beene As strong as ever Hercules in woorking deadly teene Of biggest beastes) hang flapping downe, and nought but empty skin, He wept. And Helen when shee saw her aged wrincles in A glasse wept also: musing in herself what men had seene, That by two noble princes sonnes shee twyce had ravisht beene. Thou tyme the eater up of things, and age of spyghtfull teene, Destroy all things. And when that long con

But looke As every wave dryves other foorth, and that that commes behynd Bothe thrusteth and is thrust itself: even so the tymes by kynd Doo fly and follow bothe at once, and evermore renew. For that that was before is left, and streyght there dooth ensew Anoother that was never erst. Eche twincling of an eye Dooth chaunge. Wee see that after day commes nyght and darks the sky, And after nyght the lyghtsum Sunne succeedeth orderly. Like colour is not in the heaven when all things weery lye At midnyght sound asleepe, as when the daystarre cleere and bryght Commes foorth uppon his milkwhyght steede.

Give heede therto. This endlesse world conteynes therin I say Fowre substances of which all things are gendred. Of theis fower The Earth and Water for theyr masse and weyght are sunken lower. The other cowple Aire and Fyre, the purer of the twayne, Mount up, and nought can keepe them downe. And though there doo remayne A space betweene eche one of them: yit every thing is made Of themsame fowre, and into them at length ageine doo fade. The earth resolving leysurely dooth melt to water sheere. The water fyned turnes to aire. The aire eeke purged cleere From grossenesse, spyreth up aloft, and there becommeth fyre. From thence in order contrary they backe ageine retyre. Fyre thickening passeth into Aire, and Ayer wexing grosse, Returnes to water: Water eeke congealing into drosse, Becommeth earth.

The circle also of the sonne what tyme it ryseth new And when it setteth, looketh red, but when it mounts most hye, Then lookes it whyght, bycause that there the nature of the skye Is better, and from filthye drosse of earth dooth further flye. The image also of the Moone that shyneth ay by nyght, Is never of one quantitie. For that that giveth lyght Today, is lesser than the next that followeth, till the full. And then contrarywyse eche day her lyght away dooth pull. What? Seest thou not how that the yeere as representing playne The age of man, departes itself in quarters fowre? First bayne And tender in the spring it is, even like a sucking babe. Then greene, and voyd of strength, and lush, and foggye, is the blade, And cheeres the husbandman with hope. Then all things florish gay. The earth with flowres of sundry hew then seemeth for to play, And vertue small or none to herbes there dooth as yit belong. The yeere from springtyde passing foorth to sommer, wexeth s
