Vain man! said he, and would thou wer’st not vain

That hid’st thy self in solitary shade

And spil’st thy precious youth in sad disdain

Hating this lifes delight! Hath god thee made

Part of this world, and wilt not thou partake

Of this worlds pleasure for its makers sake?

Unthankfull wretch! Gods gifts thus to reject

And maken nought of Natures goodly dower

That milders still away through thy neglect

And dying fades like unregarded flower.
