OF
Bicause shee did dispise the powers deuine:
And, while her selfe with tricklinge teares did pine,
Shee was transform'de, into a marble stone,
Which, yet with teares, dothe seeme to waile, and mone.
This tragedie, thoughe Poetts first did frame,
Yet it maie bee, to euerie one applide:
That mortall men, shoulde thinke from whence they came,
And not presume, nor puffe them vp with pride,
Leste that the Lorde, whoe haughty hartes doth hate,
Doth throwe them downe, when sure they thinke theyr state.
Non similis toto maeror in orbe fuit.
Bis septem natos peperi, bis pignora septem:
Me miseram! Diuûm sustulit ira mihi.
Dirigui demum lacrymis, & marmora manant
Sic mihi mors dolor est, sic mihi vita, dolor.
Discite, mortales, quid sit turgescere fastu,
Et quid sit magnos posthabuisse Deos.
