French poet.

Night's black mantle covers all alike.
Du Bartas quotes
From the foure corners of the worlde doe haste.
Du Bartas
Yielding more wholesome food than all the messes
That now taste-curious wanton plenty dresses.




Sweet grave aspect.
Turning our seed-wheat-kennel tares,
To burn-grain thistle, and to vaporie darnel,
Cockle, wild oats, rough burs, corn-cumbring
Tares.
Who well lives, long lives; for this age of ours
Should not be numbered by years, daies, and hours.
Or savage beasts upon a thousand hils.
