Epig. XXI. In Fortunam.
'Mongsts Ethnickes Fortune was a Deitie,'Mongst Christians 'tis a grosse impietie,
To thinke it any powre, if any ill
Betide a man, 'tis his his owne wicked will
'Tis from aboue: then Fortune there is none,
'Tis but a word of idle wits creation
And fauours fooles but in imagination.
