Philantropus tells Puteus then inclusa
Medicus - son of an Irish man
"NOw fye upon him: What is Man,
Whose Life at best is but a Span?
When to an Inch it dwindles down;
Ice in his Bones, Snow on his Crown;
That he within his crazy Brain,
Kind thoughts of Love should entertain:
That he, when Harvest comes should Plow
And when 'tis time to Reap, go Sow;
Who (in Imagination only strong)
Though twice a Child, can never twice b• young
II.
Nature did those ordain for Fools,
That sue for Work, yet have no Tools: What fellow-feeling can there be, In such a strange disparitie? Old Age mistakes the youthful Breast; For Love dwells there, not Interest: Alas good Man! take thy repose, Get Ribband for thy Thumbs and Toes, Provide thee Flan•el, and a sheet of Lead; Think on thy Coffin, not thy Bridal Bed.
