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,

And with a stedfast mind support your body;
For valiant spirits can not be o'rcome:
Though Fortune force their bodies to succumbe.
