Pàgina 59 - tis a common proof, That lowliness is young ambition's ladder, Whereto the climber upward turns his face; But when he once attains the upmost round, He then unto the ladder turns his back, Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees By which he did ascend.
Pàgina 155 - Weep with me, all you that read This little story: And know, for whom a tear you shed Death's self is sorry.
