Edward Farr, ed. Select Poetry of the Reign of Queen Elizabeth. 1845.

The VII. Chapter of Job

XXXIX. William Samuel

GO on our dayes we doo on earth

As shadowes, or as clouds,

And sudenly we leaue behinde

Our emptie framed shrouds.

Both night and day they haue their toyl

With work and dreames itost:

Wherefore, if God did not vs keep,

So were we surely lost.
