For such is Fortune, that scarcely has she done a good when an evil follows.

What does loveliness avail (if indeed it is mine), if joy of heart fail me, if good fortune fail me?

How truly call they Time and Fortune twins, since both, on one wheel and with two wings for good or evil, ever move and never stop!
