[by nature all men be equall in dignitie]

by nature all men be equall in dignitie,
by fortune one more then an other aduaunced:
this who considers in his supremitie,
ought loke to himselfe, and well be aduised,
by fortunes good fortune, who commeth in fauour,
by fortunes misfortune, may catche a displeasure.
