WALTON'S LIVES.

[graphic]

This was for youth, Strength, mirth, and wit that Time
Most count their golden Age; but t'was not thine
Thine was thy later
thy later yeares, so much refind
From youths Droße, Mirth, or wit; as thy pure mind
Thought (like the Angels) nothing but the Praise
Of thy Creator, in thofe fast, best Dayes.

Wimes this Booke (thy Embleme) which begins
With Love; but endes, with Sighes, Teares for fins
