THE FIRST BOOKE.

Insatiat Cron.

Satyre 1.


Cur eget indignus quisquam, te diuite.

Time was, when down declining toothlesse age,
Was of a holy and diuine presage:
Diuining prudent aud foretelling truth,
In sacred points, instructing wandring youth.
But oh detraction of our latter daies,
How much from veritie this age estraies!
