The expressing of his vnluckie happes diuersly chaunced.
Lyke
as the shippe of force doth driue,
Which way the winde shall him constraine:
So out of natiue soyle I liue,
As destnie doth me leade and traine,
Now here, now there, now vp, now downe,
As Fortune listes, to smile or frowne.

Now here, now there, now vp, now downe,

And as the horse the rider rides,
Of force must take such way as he:
With pricking spours doth perse his sides,
Shall thinke most fitst for him to be,
So I of force must yelde to bide,
Suche hope as fate will me prouide.

As I by proofe doo playnly see,
Whiche longe haue sought in hope to finde,
Some place to ease my miserie:
With toyle I toste and troubled minde,
By seas by lande, in many a coaste,
In daunger ofte, like to be loaste.

I wish and wante what should I say?
I seeke and finde nothing at all,
I toyle, and still in great decay,
I fayne woulde rise, yet still do fall,
With sondrie cares I am oprest,
But Pen be still, and take thy rest.
