(44) Fortune.
As goulden Sonne doth worke from out the Skye
divers effectes, and those exceedinge straunge,
Soe wandringe fortune, by incertaintie,
workes her effectes with sundrie kindes of change.

Soe wandringe fortune, by incertaintie,

ffor somm she doth oppresse with miserie,
ffrom dunghill, raysinge some to heapes of gould
Some she castes downe from great nobilitie,
and makes a clowne a noble place to hould.

Shee gives Kingdomes, shee takes them backe againe,
her wheele still turnes, not havinge anie staye;
she subvertes all, even as she please to fayne;
and as with ball, soe with the world doth playe.
In honnors Chaire, then see that thow sitt faste,
Least with her checke shee mate thee at the laste.
