The loue of change hath chang'd the world throughout

The loue of change hath chang'd the world throughout, & what is counted good but that is strange, New things wax old, old new, all turnes about, turnes about, and all things change, except the loue of change, Yet finde I not that loue of change, that loue of change in mee, but as I am, I am, so will I alwaies bee.
