Great things still orewhelme themselues by waight. E. Guilpin.
Greatnesse like to the sunnes reflecting powers, The fier bred vapours naturally exhailes, And is the cause that oft the euening lowers, When foggy mists enlarge their duskie sailes. That his owne beames he in the cloudes impailes, And either must extinguish his owne light, Or by his vertue cause his proper right. M. Drayton.
To be huge is to be deadly sicke. I. Marston.
O blinded Greatnesse, thou with thy turmoile, Still selling happy life, mak'st life a toile. S. Daniel.
— He that striues to manage mightie things, Amidst his triumphes, beares a troubled minde: The greatest hope the greatest haruest brings, And poore men in content there glory finde. D. L••dge.
The man that furthereth other men to thriue, Of priuate greatnesse doth himselfe depriue. Th. Storer.
