THREE carelesse dames, amongste their wanton toies, Did throwe the dice, who firste of them shoulde die: And shee that loste, did laughe with inwarde ioyes, For that, shee thoughte her terme should longer bee: But loe, a tyle vppon her head did fall, That deathe, with speede, this dame from dice did call. Euen so, it falles, while carelesse times wee spende: That euel happes, vnlooked for doe comme. But if wee hope, that GOD some good wil sende, In earnest praier, then must wee not bee domme: For blessinges good, come seild before our praier, But euell thinges doe come before we feare. Ludit in humanis diuina potentia rebus, Et certam praesens vix habet hora fidem. Cuius potest ac- cidere, quod cui- quam potest. Se- nec. de tranquil. animi. Ouid. 4. Pont. 3.
