Nature gives beauty, fortune wealth, in vain.

Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered (1600)

Under [his] feet, subjected to his grace,
Sit nature, fortune, motion, time and place.

They make their fortune who are stout and wise,
Wit rules the heavens, discretion guides the skies.

Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered (1600)

Chance in uncertain, fortune double faced

Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered (1600)
