Which made the sunlight of his lowly board,

Is touch’d by sickness; some familiar voice

Greets him no more; and shall not fate and time

Have done their work, since last we parted hence,

Upon an empire? Ay, within those years,

Hearts from their ancient worship have fall’n off,

And bow’d before new stars; high names have sunk

From their supremacy of place, and others

Gone forth, and made themselves the mighty sounds

At which thrones tremble. Oh! be slow to trust
