And what thou hast, forget’st: thou art not certain;

For thy complexion shifts to strange effects,

After the moon: if thou art rich, thou art poor;

For, like an ass, whose back with ingots bows

Thou bear’st thy heavy riches but a journey,

And death unloads thee: friend thou hast none;

For thy own bowels, which do call thee sire,

The mere effusion of thy proper loins,

Do curse the gout, serpigo, and the rheum,

For ending thee no sooner; thou hast nor youth, nor age;
