Vertue

Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright,
The bridall of the earth and skie:
The dew shall weep thy fall to night;
For thou must die.

This one only lived to 40!

Yes, but the average life span in the 16th century was only 35 years.

Naw, not true. The bible mentions people living to 72 as their average life span, even. Those figures are canted by infant mortality rates. Something like 1:4 kids died at birth. But once you got past that, they really only died 10-15 years earlier than we do, because of poor nutrition and sanitation, probably.

Yeah, yeah, I know all that. I was hoping you'd overlook it. :D
