2 quotes

Fate holds the strings, and men like children move
But as they're led: success is from above.

Heroick Love (1702)

But ah! in vain from Fate we fly!
For, first and last, as all must die,
So 'tis as much decreed above,
That, first or last, we all must love.

Poems upon Several Occasions (1712)
