Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 29. How magnanimous a thing it is, in adversity, patiently to endure, what cannot bee evited

VVHat grievous weight so ever be allowed
By misadventrous fate, wherewith to load ye,
Page  52 Shrinke not thereat, but yeeld your shoulder to it,
And with a stedfast mind support your body;
For valiant spirits can not be o'rcome:
Though Fortune force their bodies to succumbe.
