Let him have time to see his friends his foes,
And merry fools to mock at him resort;
Let him have time to mark how slow time goes
In time of sorrow, and how swift and short
His time of folly and his time of ;
And ever let his crime
Have time to wail th’ abusing of his time.
And merry fools to mock at him resort;
Let him have time to mark how slow time goes
In time of sorrow, and how swift and short
His time of folly and his time of ;

Have time to wail th’ abusing of his time.

Be it thy course to busy giddy minds
With foreign quarrels, that action, hence borne out,
May waste the memory of the former days.

Let the doors be shut upon him, that he may play the fool no where but in ’s own house.
But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

But then I sigh, and, with a piece of scripture,
Tell them that God bids us do good for evil:
And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With odd old ends stol’n forth of holy writ,
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.
