Ye may here now,[579] in this ryme,

How euery thing must haue a tyme.

Tyme is a thing that no man may resyst;

Tyme is trancytory and irreuocable;[580]

Who sayeth the contrary, tyme passeth as hym lyst;

Tyme must be taken in season couenable;

Take tyme when tyme is, for tyme is ay mutable;

All thynge hath tyme, who can for it prouyde;
