Monocchio, non e misero nel presenza del cieco.
VVhen I consult the sacred Histories,And other Stories of inferior sort,
And finde therein, what under mysteries,
And plainly what they of mans life report,
Oft in the prime, oft suddenly cut short,
And every day sad samples thereof see,
Mee seemes they secretly do mee exhort
To fit my selfe, the very next to be,
And meekly more my misery to beare,
Compar'd with others (greater in degree)
As hee, whose one eye perled is, and bleare,
Seemes blest to him, who can at all not see.
So they, who others greater griefe and mone,
Can call to minde, gaine strength to beare their owne.
