a_o comparison_n of_o the_o life_n of_o man_n concern_v how_o fickle_a his_o estate_n do_v stand_v flourish_a like_o a_o tree_n or_o vine_n or_o dainty_a flower_n or_o like_o a_o ship_n or_o rain_n that_o be_v turn_v each_o hour_n to_o the_o tune_n of_o sir_n andrew_n barton_n venice_n london_n bristol_n as_o i_o lie_v muse_v all_o alone_a great_a store_n of_o thing_n i_o think_v upon_o and_o special_o of_o man_n estate_n and_o how_o he_o be_v subject_a unto_o fate_n first_o i_o will_v compare_v he_o to_o a_o tree_n which_o you_o sometime_o all_o green_a may_v see_v but_o sudden_o his_o leaf_n do_v fall_v that_o he_o be_v beautify_v withal_o the_o tree_n likewise_o be_v know_v by_o his_o fruit_n better_a than_o by_o his_o fine_a green_a suit_n he_o may_v show_v comely_a to_o the_o eye_n yet_o his_o fruit_n may_v taste_v bitter_o so_o man_n sometime_o make_v a_o fair_a show_n all_o fresh_a and_o green_a they_o seem_v to_o grow_v but_o when_o the_o winter_n of_o grief_n and_o thrall_n do_v on_o they_o seize_v their_o green_a leaf_n fall_v but_o for_o the_o difference_n of_o man_n fruit_n i_o must_v indeed_o be_v something_o mute_a but_o those_o that_o grow_v like_o cedar_n tall_a yield_v little_a fruit_n or_o none_o at_o all_o yet_o do_v they_o flourish_v fresh_a and_o green_a much_o like_o the_o pleasant_a summer_n queen_n they_o be_v bedeck_v with_o fragrant_a flower_n and_o they_o do_v dwell_v in_o stately_a tower_n but_o as_o the_o tree_n be_v great_a and_o tall_a the_o great_a and_o mighty_a be_v his_o fall_n and_o as_o he_o fall_v so_o do_v he_o lie_v until_o the_o builder_n he_o apply_v what_o though_o a_o man_n have_v store_n of_o wealth_n it_o can_v he_o assure_v of_o health_n by_o his_o fruit_n he_o must_v sure_o be_v try_v either_o condemn_v or_o justify_v again_o a_o man_n be_v like_o a_o vine_n that_o from_o the_o earth_n do_v fluorish_a fine_a adorn_v with_o nature_n ornament_n with_o store_n of_o grape_n to_o give_v content_a but_o with_o a_o knife_n or_o such_o a_o thing_n the_o vine_n be_v soon_o set_v a_o bleed_a and_o then_o those_o grape_n will_v soon_o decay_v and_o pine_o will_n waist_n away_o even_o so_o stand_v the_o life_n of_o man_n if_o that_o his_o blood_n from_o he_o be_v draw_v then_o sudden_o his_o life_n do_v yield_v and_o unto_o death_n he_o be_v compel_v man_n flourish_v even_o like_o a_o flower_n which_o live_v and_o die_v within_o a_o hour_n he_o grow_v perhaps_o until_o his_o prime_n or_o he_o may_v die_v in_o his_o bud_a time_n he_o may_v chance_v live_v till_o he_o be_v old_a and_o bide_v the_o brunt_n of_o winter_n cold_a but_o then_o hée'l_o lose_v the_o smell_n and_o show_v and_o will_v no_o more_o be_v worth_a the_o view_n so_o many_o man_n die_v in_o their_o prime_n and_o some_o dye_n in_o their_o bud_a time_n but_o he_o that_o live_v the_o long_a life_n shall_v find_v but_o sorrow_n care_n and_o strife_n man_n life_n be_v like_o a_o ship_n of_o the_o sea_n which_o be_v sometime_o as_o fortune_n please_v even_o as_o proud_a boreas_n blast_n do_v blow_v when_o wind_n be_v still_o and_o weather_n fair_a then_o mariner_n be_v free_a from_o care_n but_o when_o as_o storm_n make_v dark_a the_o sky_n then_o must_v each_o man_n his_o labour_n ply_v the_o second_o part_n to_o the_o same_o tune_n so_o be_v it_o with_o man_n the_o self_n same_o case_n his_o life_n be_v a_o ship_n that_o sea_n do_v trace_v and_o oft_o be_v like_a to_o go_v to_o wrack_n when_o wind_n and_o storm_n do_v tackle_n crack_v we_o man_n when_o sickness_n do_v assail_v our_o body_n and_o make_v we_o look_v pale_a then_o will_v we_o do_v all_o thing_n we_o may_v so_o that_o our_o health_n we_o may_v enjoy_v but_o when_o the_o fate_n on_o we_o do_v smile_v like_o sailor_n we_o forget_v our_o toil_n we_o hang_v out_o colour_n for_o a_o show_n but_o take_v they_o in_o when_o storm_n do_v grow_v i_o may_v compare_v a_o man_n again_o even_o like_a unto_o a_o turn_a rain_n that_o change_v even_o as_o do_v the_o wind_n indeed_o so_o be_v man_n fickle_a mind_n the_o mind_n of_o man_n do_v often_o change_v he_o be_v apt_a with_o every_o gale_n to_o range_v he_o stand_v totter_v to_o and_o fro_o even_o as_o his_o foolish_a fancy_n go_v again_o i_o may_v man_n life_n compare_v like_a to_o a_o bird_n that_o fly_v in_o the_o air_n and_o sudden_o she_o see_v a_o bait_n which_o be_v to_o take_v she_o with_o deceit_n the_o bird_n no_o soon_o be_v betray_v but_o come_v i_o he_o that_o the_o bait_n lay_v and_o have_v take_v she_o in_o his_o net_n she_o die_v and_o he_o for_o more_o do_v bait_n even_o so_o be_v man_n by_o run_v catch_v when_o as_o thereof_o he_o have_v no_o thought_n he_o soar_v high_a and_o fear_v no_o fail_n yet_o then_o he_o be_v in_o most_o danger_n of_o all_o make_v trial_n of_o this_o any_o one_o and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o i_o have_v show_v a_o prospect_n where_o you_o may_v behold_v the_o difference_n in_o this_o earthy_a mould_n this_o
