Questions and Answers
By Thomas, Lord Vaux (1509–1556)
 
DOTH sorrow fret thy soul? O direful sprite!
Doth pleasure feed thy heart? O blessèd man!
Hast thou been happy once? O heavy plight!
Are thy mishaps forepast? O happy than!
Or hast thou bliss in eld? O bliss too late!        5
But hast thou bliss in youth? O sweet estate!
