Yur Chancery-Lawyer, who by conscience thrives, In spining a sute to the length of three lives, A sute which the Clyent doth wear out in slavery, whilst pleader makes conscience a cloak for his knavery: Can boast of his cunning but i'th present-Tence, For Non est inventus a hundred years hence. Then why should we turmoyl in cares and fears? And turn our tranquillity to sighs and tears, Let's eat, drink, and play, e'r the worms do corrupt us For I say, that Post mortem nulla voluptas, Let's deal with our Damsels, that we may from thence Have broods to succeed us a hundred years hence. I never could gain satisfaction upon Your dreams of a bliss when we'r cold as a stone, The Sages, call us Drunkards, Gluttons & wenchers. But we find such Morsels, Upon their own trenchers: For Abigal, Hannah, and sister Prudence, Will simper to nothing a hundred years hence.
The Plush-cooted Quack that his fees to inlarge, Kills people with Licence, and at their own charge, Who builds a vast structure of ill gotten wealth, from the degrees of a [Piss-pot,] and ruines of health, Though treasures of life he pretends to dispence, Shall be turn'd into mummy a hundred years hence. The Butterfly Courtier that Pageant of state, The Mouse-trap of honour, and May-game of fate, Withall his ambitions, intrigues, and his tricks[,] must dye like a Clown, and then drops into Stir, His plots against death, are too slender a fence, For he'l be out of place a hundred years hence. Yea, the Poet himself that so loftily sings, As he scorns any subjects, but Hero's or Kings, Must to the Capricio's of fortune submit, and often be counted a fool for his wit, Thus beauty, wit, wealth, law, learning, and sence, All come to nothing a hundred years hence.
