1 Is ther not an appoynted time to man vpon earth? Are not his dayes also like the dayes of an hired seruaunt? 2 For like as a bonde seruaunt desireth the shadowe, and as an hyreling woulde fayne haue the rewarde of his worke: 3 Euen so haue I laboured whole monethes long in vayne, and many a carefull night haue I tolde. 4 When I layde me downe to sleepe, I sayde, O when shall I arise? and measuring the euening, I am euen full with tossing to and fro vnto the dawning of the day.
