LXX.
Nothing is more hard than to be high and
humble; prosperity begets pride; how do the
Sails swell with a fresh gale? top and top-gal∣lant
out shall stand, when the Wind stands fair;
how lofty have I seen some advanced from a
low estate? what a change hath that change
wrought? none can tell who they are, by
what they were, so little be they like them∣selves.
