Fame's but a hollow echo, gold pure clay,

Honour the darling but of one short day.

5Beauty (th'eyes idol) but a damasked skin,

State but a golden prison, to keepe in

And torture free-born minds; imbroidered trains

Meerly but Pageants, proudly swelling vains,

And blood ally'd to greatness, is a loane

10Inherited, not purchased, not our own.

Fame, honor, beauty, state, train, blood and birth,
