1 Fuller, Worthies of England.

Full little knowest thou that hast not tride,
What hell it is in suing long to bide :
To loose good dayes, that might be better spent;
To wast long nights in pensive discontent ;
To speed to-day, to be put back to-morrow;
To feed on hope, to pine with feare and sorrow.

To fret thy soule with crosses and with cares ;
To eate thy heart through eomfortlesse dispaires;
To fawne, to erowehe, to waite, to ride, to ronne,
To spend, to give, to want, to be undonne.
Unhappie wight, borne to disastrous end,
That doth his life in so long tendanee spend!
