207.18

Sonne (said he then) let be thy bitter scorne,
2 And leaue the rudenesse of +that+ antique age
To them, that liu'd therein in state forlorne;
4 Thou that doest liue in later times, must wage
Thy workes for wealth, and life for gold engage.
6 If then thee list my offred grace to vse,
Take what thou please of all this surplusage;
8 If thee list not, leaue haue thou to refuse:
But thing refused, do not afterward accuse.
