27. Upon the Inconstancy of Fortune.
Fortune observes no Method; for throughoutHumane Affairs, her Wheel is turn'd about
With great Inconstancy. Low things arise;
High are confounded, by her quick surprize.
Good Fortune, is transmuted into Ill;
For to make Evill, Good; is at her will.
Let not them grieve, who under hard Fates lie:
Good Fortune's near at Hand: for shame don't die.
