The Frosty Beard, inclining al to white,
The Snowy Head: or Head more white then Snow,
The Crow-foot neere the Eyes, Browes, Furrow'd quite,
With Trenches in the Cheeks, Experience show,
These are the Emblems of Authority:
Which loyned to those do much augment her might:
These are the Signes of Reasons Soueraignty,
And Hyerogliphicks, spelling Iudgement right
These are the Trophies rear'd by Times left hand
Vpon the spoile of Passion, and her Powres:
We, by these Symbols, Wisedome vnderstand.
That vs directeth, and protecteth ours:
All these in me begin to come in sight,
Yet can I hardly rule my selfe aright.
