The ample propofition that hope makes In all designs begun on earth below, Fails in the promis'd largeness; checks and disasters As knots by the conflux of meeting sap That gave't furmised shape. Why then, you princes, And think them fhame, which are, indeed, nought elfe To find perfiftive conftancy in men?
