With burdens greate, is loden euery daye:
Or drawes the carte, and forc'd the yoke to weare:
Where littell dogges doe passe their time in playe:
And ofte, are bould to barke, and eeke to bite,
When as before, they trembled at his sighte.
Yet, when in bondes they see his thrauled state,
Eache bragginge curre, beginnes to square, and brall:
The freër sorte, doe wonder at his fate,
And thinke them beste, that are of stature small:
And on their lappes, with daynties still bee fedde.
The loftie pine, with axe is ouerthrowne,
And is prepar'd, to serue the shipmans turne:
When bushes stande, till stormes bee ouerblowne.
And lightninges flashe, the mountaine toppes doth burne.
All which doe shewe: that pompe, and worldlie power,
Makes monarches, markes: when varrijnge fate doth lower.
Nec facile est aequa commoda mente pati.
Cùm quis positus
in prosperitate
diligitur, incer-
tum est, vtrum
prosperitas an
persona diligatur.
Amissio autem foe-
licitatis interro-
gat vim dilectio-
nis: nec prosperi-
tas quidem ami-
cum indicat, nec
aduersitas inimi-
cum celat.
Nihil aduersum,
nisi quod nobis
obstat ad aeter-
nam foelicitatem
properantibus:
nihil prosperum,
nisi quod deo
conducit.
Amandi.
