TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>When we observe the Ball, how to and fro<lb/>
                                The Gamesters force it; we may ponder thus:<lb/>
                                That whil'st we live we shall be playd with so,<lb/>
                                And that the World will make her Game of us.<lb/>
                                Adversities, one while our hearts constraine<lb/>
                                To stoope, and knock the Pavements of Despaire;<lb/>
                                Hope, like a Whirle-wind mounts us up againe,<lb/>
                                Till oft it lose us in the empty ayre.<lb/>
                                Sometimes, above the Battlements we looke;<lb/>
                                Sometimes, we quite below the Line are tost:<lb/>
                                Another-while, against the Hazard strooke,<lb/>
                                We, but a little want, of being lost.<lb/>
                                Detraction, Envie, Mischief, and Despight,<lb/>
                                One Partie make, and watchfully attend<lb/>
                                To catch us when we rise to any Height;<lb/>
                                Lest we above their hatred should ascend.<lb/>
                                Good-Fortune, Praises, Hopes, and Industries,<lb/>
                                Doe side-together, and make Play to please us;<lb/>
                                But, when by them we thinke more high to rise,<lb/>
                                More great they make our Fall, and more disease us.<lb/>
                                Yea, they that seeke our Losse, advance our Gaine;<lb/>
                                And to our Wishes, bring us oft the nigher:<lb/>
                                For, we that else upon the Ground had laine,<lb/>
                                Are, by their striking of us lifted higher.<lb/>
                                When Balls against the Stones are hardest throwne,<lb/>
                                Then highest up into the Aire they fly;<lb/>
                                So, when men hurle us (with most fury) downe,<lb/>
                                Wee hopefull are to be advanc'd thereby:<lb/>
                                And, when they smite us quite unto the Ground,<lb/>
                                Then, up to Heav'n, we trust, we shall rebound.<lb/>
