<l n=1><sp>Buss </sp>Fortune, not reason, rules the state of things,</l>
<l n=2>Reward goes backwards, honour on his head;</l>
<l n=3>Who is not poor, is monstrous; only need</l>
<l n=4>Gives form and worth to every human seed.</l>
<l n=5>As cedars beaten with incessant storms,</l>
<l n=6>So great men flourish; and do imitate</l>

<l n=10>Their work is goodly: so our tympanous statists</l>
<l n=11>(in their affected gravity of voice,</l>
<l n=12>Sourness of countenance, manners' cruelty,</l>
<l n=13>Authority, wealth, and all the spawn of f . . .
