A Comparison of the Life of Man.

Reading edition

Ans life is vvell compared to a feast, Furnisht with choice of all Varietie: To it comes Tyme; and as a bidden guest Hee sets him downe, in Pompe and Maiestie; The three-folde Age of Man, the Waiters bee, Then with an earthen voyder (made of clay) Comes Death, and takes the table clean away.
