2070Who, seeing Fortune his designs did thwart,

And Neptune's grandchild brought him no relief,

Did think to win her presence in disguise:

He that but one way tries is hardly wise.

He plotted to invest himself with robe

Might speak him nobly born, and gallant heir

To some vast measures of this wealthy globe,

Seated aloft in honour's oval chair—

Procure him then some store of lacèd capes

To wait on him with servile garbs and shapes.
