Fate, and the dooming gods, are deaf to tears.
The Works of Virgil (1697)
And doomed to death, though fated not to die.
The Hind and the Panther (1687)
All human things are subject to decay,
And, when fate summons, monarchs must obey.
Mac Flecknoe (1682)
Endure the hardships of your present state,
Live, and reserve yourselves for better fate.
The Works of Virgil (1697)
For those whom God to ruin has design'd,
He fits for fate, and first destroys their mind.
The Hind and the Panther (1687)
Ill news is wing'd with fate, and flies apace.
'Tis Fate that flings the dice,
And as she flings
Of kings makes peasants,
And of peasants kings.
Unskill’d in schemes by planets to foreshow,
I neither will nor can prognosticate
To the young gaping heir his father’s fate.
