N O! Time, thou shalt not bost that I doe change, Thy pyramyds buylt vp with newer might

To me are nothing nouell,nothing strange, They are but dressings of a former sight: Our dates are breefe,and therefor we admire, What thou dost foyst vpon vs that is ould, And rather make them borne to our desire, Then thinke that we before haue heard them tould: Thy registers and thee I both defie, Not wondring at the present,nor the past, For thy records,and what we see doth lye, Made more or les by thy continuall hast:    This I doe vow and this shall euer be,    I will be true dispight thy syeth and thee. 124
