A weake poore soule, that fortune doth forsake

In hard extreames, from world her leave may take.

54.*

From those that fall, such as doe rise doe run:

The sound with sicke doe seldome long abide:

Poore people passe as shadowes in the sun,

Like feeble fish, that needes must follow tyde:

Among the rich a beggar soone is spied:

When weake Shore’s wife had lost her staffe of stay,

The halt and blind went limping lame away.
