Moral emblems, with aphorisms, adages, and proverbs, of all ages and nations . yours, fair maid; Time oer that can caft no made; I And when wrinkled that fair brow, Twill be fairer far than now,— With a Beauty that mail gain Lafting Love in Gods domain. As for Man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourished:. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone : and the place thereof shall know it no more.—Psalm ciii. 15, 16. PRETTINESS DIES QUICKLY. VANITY HAS NO GREATER FOE THAN ITSELF. OUCH is lights love to Heaven, that ftill aboveJp^ It mounts, and cannot to the center move;Hold you it under, it will upward reach,And through its ruinous body make a breach. Our foule doth bend our bodies ftraight and even, As with it felfe, it would them raife to Heaven; But all in vaine it undergoes fuch toyle, The body will not leave its native foyle : Age puis it downe, and makes it ftoope full low, Till death doth give his fatall overthrow. Then through the bodies breach the Soule doth rife, And like a conquerour, mount to the fkyes. Farlies S*S*2^ VANITY WILL PROVE VEXATION. ^T^^: EN AMOUR, EN COUR, ET A LA CHASSE, Inter manum et mentum.
