By adversity are wrought the greatest works of admiration, and all the fair examples of renown, out of distress and misery are grown.
The stars that have most glory have no rest.
Love is a sickness full of woes, All remedies refusing; A plant that with most cutting grows, Most barren with best using.
And for the few that only lend their ear, That few is all the world.
Striving to tell his woes, words would not come; For light cares speak, when mighty griefs are dumb.
