Sir Walter Rawleighs verses
Even sutch is tyme, who takes in trust
our youth, our ioyes, & all we have
And pays vs but wth age & dust
who in ye darke & silent grave
when we have wandred all our ways
Shut vp the stoory of our days
And from wch grave & earth & dust
The lord shall rayse me vp I trust.
