It is not growing like a tree in bulk doth make ma — Ben Jonson

It is not growing like a tree in bulk doth make man better be; Or standing long an oak, three hundred years, to fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere, A lily of a day is fairer in May Although it falls and die that night, it was the plant of flower and light, in small proportions we just beauties see and in short measures, life may perfect be.
