To finde out Natures secrets; what doth length

Of time deserve, if we want heate and strength?

When a brave quarrell doth to arms provoke

Why should we feare to venter this thin smoke

This emptie shadow, life? this which the wise

Why should we not throw willingly away

A game we cannot save, now that we may

Gaine honour by the gift? since haply when

We onely shall be statue of men
