Page:Age and life of man, or, A short description of the nture (sic), rise, and fall, according to the 12 months of the year.pdf/6

 Then it is time to use this line,

Remember Man to Die,

November air makes fields bare,

of flowers grass, and corn,

Then man appears fifty five years,

and sick both even and morn

Loins legs, and thighs with sad disease

makes him to sigh and say,

Ah! Heaven on high have mind on

and learn me how to die.

December fell, both sharp and snell,

makes flowers creep in the ground,

Then man’s threescore both sick and

no soundness in him found

His ears and een and teeth of bone,

all these now do him lailfail [sic];

Then he may say both night and day,

that Death shall him assail.

And if there be through natuaenature [sic] strong,

some that live ten years more;

Or if he creepeth up and dow,

till he come to fourscore.

Yet all this time is but a line,

no pleasure can he see;

Then he may say both night and day,

Have, ondon [sic] me.

Thus have I shown you as I can,

the course of all men's life,
