----_good parents dy'd One after one, till both were gone, Whose souls in bliss, be long ere this._ His remaining ten years at court, where _Cards and dice, with Venus' vice, And peevish pride, from virtue wide, With some so wraught, That Tyburn play, made them away, Or beggars state._ His residing in _Suffolk_, as a farmer, _To moil and toil, With loss and pain, to little gain, To cram Sir Knave_; his removal to near Dereham Abbey, which he left, (though stored with flesh and fish) from the squabbles and brawls of _lord with lord_; the death of the worthy Sir Richard Southwell, ----_that jewel great, Which op'd his door to rich and poor, So bounteously_,-- on whose decease he was left to _sink or swim_; his removal to Salisbury, as a singing man; thence _With sickness worn, as one forlorn,_ he removed to a parsonage house in Essex, to collect tithes, in its _miry ways_; his foreboding the parson's death, and foreseeing new charges about to be made for tithes, ----_I spy'd, if parson died, (All hope in vain) to hope for gain, I might go dance; Once rid my hand, of pars'nage land, Hence, by-and-by, away went I To London straight, to hope and wait For better chance._ From which place the plague drove him to Cambridge, to _The college, best of all the rest,_ _With thanks to thee, O Trinity!_ _Through thee and thine, for me and mine,_ _Some stay I got._ He concludes with pious resignation to God.[27] DIDYMUS MOUNTAIN, who, in 1571, wrote "The Gardener's Labyrinth," in 4to.
