The Mirrovr of Maiestie | ||
48
To The Lord Windsor.
Me thinkes, I see in this, the true estateOf man still subiect to a lucklesse fate:
As if the greatest Crosse did represent
The generall curse, which even all over went.
From Adam to his wretched progeny:
The lesser Crosses which accompany
The greater, be each severall haplesse chance:
And all together shew, that ignorance
Is irrecoverably blind, where none
Prevents what happens thus to every one.
But You doe well support the waightiest crosses
With Patience, and esteeme them but light losses.
