Epigram 33 (The first and riper world of men and ...)

The first and riper world of men and skill,
Yeeldes to our later time for three inuentions,
Miracolously we write, we saile, we kill,
As neither ancient scroll nor story mentions,
The first, hath open'd learnings old conceald,
And obscurde artes restored to the light,
The second hiddē countries hath reuealed,
And sent Christes Ghospell to each liuing wight,
These we commend, but O what needed more.
To teach death more skill then it had before.
