- Farewell, Love, and all thy laws forever,
- Thy baited hooks shall tangle me no more;
- Senec and Plato call me from thy lore,
- To perfect wealth my wit for to endeavor.
- In blind error when I did persever,
- Thy sharp repulse, that pricketh aye so sore,
- Hath taught me to set in trifles no store
- And 'scape forth since liberty is lever.
- Therefore farewell, go trouble younger hearts
- And in me claim no more authority.
- With idle youth go use thy property;
- And thereon spend thy many brittle darts,
- For hitherto though I have lost all my time,
- Me lusteth no longer rotten boughs to climb.
