3 quotes

I learned have, not to despise,
What ever thing seemes small in common eyes.

Complaints (1591)

All, that in this world is great or gay,
Doth as a vapour vanish, and decay.

Complaints (1591)

What more felicitie can fall to creature
Than to enjoy delight with libertie,
And to be lord of all the workes of Nature,
To raine in th' aire from earth to highest skie,
To feed on flowres and weeds of glorious feature.

Complaints (1591)
