TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>Here, we an Aged-man described have,<lb/>
                                That hath one foot, already, in the Grave :<lb/>
                                And, if you marke it (though the Sunne decline,<lb/>
                                And horned Cynthia doth begin to shine)<lb/>
                                With open booke, and, with attentive eyes,<lb/>
                                Himselfe, to compasse Knowledge, he applyes:<lb/>
                                And, though that Evening, end his last of dayes,<lb/>
                                Yet, I will study, more to learne, he sayes.<lb/>
                                From this, we gather, that, while time doth last,<lb/>
                                The time of learning, never will be past;<lb/>
                                And, that, each houre, till we our life lay downe,<lb/>
                                Still, something, touching life, is to be knowne.<lb/>
                                When he was old, wise Cato learned Greeke:<lb/>
                                But, we have aged-folkes, that are to seeke<lb/>
                                Of that, which they have much more cause to learne;<lb/>
                                Yet, no such minde in them, wee shall discerne.<lb/>
                                For, that, which they should studie in their prime,<lb/>
                                Is, oft, deferred, till their latter time :<lb/>
                                And, then, old age, unfit for learning, makes them,<lb/>
                                Or, else, that common dulnesse overtakes them,<lb/>
                                Which makes ashamed, that it should be thought,<lb/>
                                They need, like little children, to be taught.<lb/>
                                And, so, out of this world, they doe returne<lb/>
                                As wise, as in the weeke, when they were borne.<lb/>
                                God, grant me grace, to spend my life-time so,<lb/>
                                That I my duety still may seeke to know ;<lb/>
                                And, that, I never, may so farre proceed,<lb/>
                                To thinke, that I, more Knowledge, doe not need:<lb/>
                                But, in Experience, may continue growing,<lb/>
                                Till I am fill'd with fruits of pious-knowing.<lb/>
