SONNET. XXI.
[He that will Cæsar be, or els not be]
He that will Cæsar be, or els not be,(Who can aspire to Cæsars bleeding fame?)
Must be of high resolue: but what is he
That thinkes to gaine a second Cæsars name.
Who ere he be that climes aboue his strength,
And climeth high, the greater is his fall:
For though he sit a while, we see at length
His slipperie place no firmnes hath at all.
Great is his bruse that falleth from on high,
This warneth me that I should not aspire:
Examples should preuaile: I care not I,
I perish must, or haue what I desire.
This humour doth with mine full well agree,
I must Fidessaes be, or els not be.
