THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD: TRANSLATION, by                    
First Line: The plants and trees made poor and old
Last Line: Do promise nature's help in vain.


The plants and trees made poor and old
By winter envious,
The springtime bounteous
Covers again from shame and cold;
But never man repaired again
His youth and beauty lost,
Though art, and care, and cost
Do promise nature's help in vain.
