FORTVNA SAEVO LAETA NEGOTIO: transmutat incertos honores.
Strange are the changes of this changing age,The cloun turns knight, the knight again turns cloun:
Now is he Lord, who, was of late a page,
And he that threatned all, is now thrown doun:
Thrise happie he, whose heart can be content,
To serue his God in peace with sober rent.
