Est mihi spes lata, quod adhuc per te renovata 390 Succedent fata veteri probitate beata; Est tibi nam grata gratia sponte data. Henrici quarti primus regni fuit annus Quo mihi defecit visus ad acta mea. Omnia tempus habent, finem natura ministrat, 395 Quem virtute sua frangere nemo potest. Ultra posse nihil, quamvis mihi velle remansit, Amplius ut scribam non mihi posse manet. Dum potui, scripsi, sed nunc quia curua senectus Turbauit sensus, scripta relinquo scolis. 400 Scribat qui veniet post me discretior alter, Ammodo namque manus et mea penna silent. Hoc tamen in fine verborum queso meorum, Prospera quod statuat regna futura deus. ¶ _Explicit._ _From_ Th. (Thynne, ed. 1532.); _corrected by_ T. (Trentham MS.) _I give the rejected spellings of_ Th.
