Of your progenitors that Nilus rul’d,
Force take from you; the Gods haue will’d it so,
To whome oft times Princes are odiouse.
They haue to euery thing an end ordain’d;
All worldly greatnes by them bounded is;
Some sooner, later some, as they think best:
None their decree is able to infringe.
But, which is more, to vs disastred men
Which subiect are in all things to their will,
Their will is hidd: nor while we liue, we know
