XCIII.
Consider what hath befallen others, and
thou wilt not wonder whatever befalls thee.
Do things go bad, it goes worse with better
men. Art thou poor? it hath been still the
fate of the bravest persons; some have been
so by choice, but most by chance; wealth is
but vanity, and usually vexation; like a gar∣ment
too big, or too long: If my father deals
with me as with the rest of his children, shall
it not content me? there is no reason the most
undutiful should have a double portion.
