43. We should not be troubled at the accidents of Fortune: nor those things, which cannot be eschewed.
Let's take in patience, sicknesse, banishments,Paine, losse of goods, death, and enforced strife;
For none of those are so much punishments,
As Tributes, which we pay unto this life;
From the whole tract whereof we cannot borrow
One dram of Joy, that is not mix'd with sorrow.
