Man's Life is well Compared to a Feast. 
By Barnefield, Richard. 


Man's life is well compared to a feast,
Furnished with choice of all variety:
To it comes Time, and as his bidden guest
He sets him down in pomp and majesty;
The three-fold age of man the waiters be;
Then with an earthen voider, made of clay,
Comes Death, and takes the table clean away.
