Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Howell's Devises, 1581: With an Introduction
That lyfe is lyke a Bubble blowne, or smoke that soone doth passe, That all our pleasures are but aynes, our glorie brittle glasse, That Fortune' s fruites are varia le, no holde in Princely mace, That women 's myndes are mutable, that death drawes on apace That worldly pompe is vanity, that youth unwares decayes.
