glow_v a_o resolution_n of_o thy_o courage_n show_v this_o be_v in_o youth_n so_o far_o from_o be_v blame_v that_o it_o deserve_v rather_o to_o be_v fame_v provide_v still_o that_o reason_n be_v thy_o guide_n in_o thy_o attempt_n to_o have_v thy_o manhood_n try_v what_o lively_a youth_n with_o noble_a courage_n fraught_v to_o martial_a feat_n and_o descipling_n well_o teach_v it_o do_v deserve_v the_o high_a commendation_n it_o be_v the_o pride_n and_o safety_n of_o a_o nation_n nay_o which_o be_v more_o where_o mars_n be_v thus_o obey_v it_o make_v the_o very_a enemy_n afraid_a all_o this_o may_v be_v admit_v this_o i_o grant_v but_o all_o this_o give_v thou_o no_o such_o cause_n to_o vaunt_v my_o own_o frail_a flesh_n yea_o frail_a and_o weak_a indeed_o as_o to_o presume_v or_o boast_v on_o such_o a_o reed_n on_o such_o a_o totter_a such_o a_o feeble_a stay_n and_o which_o remain_v so_o subject_a to_o decay_v that_o the_o most_o silly_a creature_n can_v be_v think_v may_v in_o a_o moment_n bring_v thy_o strength_n to_o nought_o or_o be_v endue_v with_o any_o other_o part_n which_o will_v induce_v to_o boast_v of_o thy_o desert_n as_o wit_n as_o knowledge_n learning_n art_n or_o such_o these_o be_v indeed_o to_o be_v esteem_v much_o yea_o these_o same_o power_n and_o faculty_n of_o mind_n i_o do_v confess_v be_v of_o the_o high_a kind_n and_o do_v deserve_v the_o high_a commendation_n yet_o these_o remain_n so_o subject_a unto_o passion_n that_o these_o in_o many_o do_v become_v most_o vain_a where_o power_n be_v want_v passion_n to_o restrain_v and_o so_o much_o lift_v up_o their_o conceit_n therein_o that_o they_o almost_o forget_v that_o they_o be_v man_n this_o i_o own_o self_n too_o often_o come_v to_o pass_v man_n be_v delude_v look_v in_o this_o glass_n then_o let_v not_o this_o which_o shall_v be_v all_o thy_o stay_n from_o thy_o own_o self_n thus_o steal_v thyself_o away_o but_o rather_o as_o the_o further_o thou_o do_v learn_v the_o further_a still_o thou_o do_v thy_o want_n discern_v so_o from_o the_o sight_n of_o what_o thou_o have_v not_o gain_v all_o pride_n of_o what_o thou_o have_v may_v be_v restrain_v or_o have_v thou_o wealth_n which_o make_v the_o great_a boast_n and_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n desire_v of_o most_o and_o that_o full_a oft_o who_o radiant_a golden_a ray_n make_v youth_n appear_v so_o glorious_a in_o our_o

in_o time_n to_o come_v yea_o what_o although_o thy_o wealth_n be_v of_o that_o worth_n that_o it_o can_v yield_v thou_o all_o delight_n on_o earth_n yet_o wisdom_n will_v advise_v thou_o to_o take_v heed_n for_o moderation_n sake_n not_o to_o exceed_v for_o to_o be_v moderate_a will_v grace_v thou_o more_o in_o this_o thy_o youth_n than_o all_o thy_o earthly_a store_n and_o in_o thy_o pleasure_n yield_v thou_o that_o content_n which_o gross_a excess_n can_v never_o taste_v of_o in_o it_o beside_o excess_n in_o any_o thing_n be_v unfit_a though_o otherwise_o man_n do_v the_o thing_n admit_v then_o what_o may_v thou_o expect_v shall_v be_v thy_o gain_n if_o thou_o excee_v in_o any_o thing_n be_v vain_a as_o for_o the_o most_o part_n all_o the_o pleasure_n here_o be_v as_o abuse_v hows'ever_o they_o appear_v how_o much_o so_o ever_o they_o man_n taste_n delight_n how_o beautiful_a so_o ever_o to_o man_n sight_n or_o what_o content_n so_o ever_o they_o pretend_v they_o be_v both_o vain_a and_o fail_v in_o the_o end_n this_o be_v most_o true_a though_o youth_n may_v answer_v no_o but_o ask_v old_a age_n and_o it_o will_v say_v it_o be_v so_o well_o ground_a age_n who_o horry_v head_n be_v fraught_v with_o much_o experience_n many_o year_n have_v teach_v and_o therefore_o sure_o my_o own_o self_n it_o be_v meet_a though_o youthful_a pleasure_n for_o a_o time_n be_v sweet_a that_o thou_o do_v always_o labour_v to_o foresee_v what_o may_v the_o issue_n of_o thy_o pleasure_n be_v that_o when_o the_o pleasure_n of_o thy_o youth_n be_v past_a repentance_n bring_v not_o sorrow_n at_o the_o last_o and_o make_v thou_o in_o thy_o age_n confess_v this_o truth_n most_o idle_a be_v the_o fond_a delight_n of_o youth_n passion_n but_o must_v i_o be_v thus_o heedful_a thus_o precise_a thus_o in_o my_o youth_n set_v age_n before_o my_o eye_n and_o through_o that_o pale-faced_a object_n thus_o be_v bring_v to_o spend_v my_o youthful_a day_n in_o careful_a thought_n as_o if_o my_o year_n no_o pleasure_n be_v allow_v or_o that_o my_o fate_n be_v shadow_v by_o a_o cloud_n from_o whence_o my_o fortune_n most_o obscure_a become_v and_o i_o bear_v only_o to_o bewail_v the_o same_o be_v this_o my_o woeful_a bondage_n sure_o no_o i_o may_v take_v great_a liberty_n than_o so_o youth_n may_v be_v youthful_a it_o be_v in_o reason_n fit_a both_o law_n and_o nature_n do_v
