From ,caat springs baseness, honor from content.
The World.
This world, like to spouse unchaste and base,
Did ne'er yield JOY to those who with her wed
None on her thrones ascent their footsteps place
But feel her trenchant saber on their head
Tyranny
o thou, to whom an empires sway is given,
Would's thou be blessedl eschew, then, tyranny
Not by hundred swords are realms riven,
As by. If Just, one suffering victims sigh
Fate
Fate like an angry tempest Is; mankind
The feeble straw swept headlong by the wind.

family, but all the guests, expect invariably
to salute the lady of the house on coming
