¶Liedtext

An Ape, a Lion, a Fox, and an Ass, Do shew forth Man's Life as it were in a Glass: For Apish we are till Twenty and one, And after that, Lions till Forty be gone; Then witty as Foxes till Threescore and Ten, but after that Asses, and so no more Men. A Dove, a Sparrow, a Parrot, a Crow, As plainly sets forth how you Women may know: Harmless they are, till Thirteen be gone, Then Wanton as Sparrows till Forty draw on; Then Prating as Parrots till Threescore be o'er, Then Birds of ill Omen, and Women no more.
