Even they who are useless, have the consolation that they are eternal. There is no trouble but hath its satisfaction. Luck for the fools, and chance for the ugly, saith the Proverb. To live long, there needs no more but to be of little worth. The crackt pot seldom breaks, it lasts commonly till people be weary of using it. It would seem that fortune envies men of importance, seeing it joins dura∣tion with incapacity in some, and short
life to much merit in others. All they who by right ought to live, always fail in good fortune: and such as are good for nothing, you'll find to be eternal, whe∣ther because they appear to be so, or be∣cause in effect they are so. It seems that destiny and death are agreed to forget the unfortunate.
