Have broke their sleep with thoughts, their brains with care,

Their bones with industry;

For this they have engrossed and pil'd up
The canker'd heaps of strange-achieved gold.

Make the hoar leprosy ador'd, place thieves
And give them title, knee and approbation
With senators on the bench. This it is

She, whom the spital-house and ulcerous

sores

Would cast the gorge at, this embalms and spices

To the April day again.

Though sometimes it show greatness, cour-

And that's the dearest grace it renders you-
Yet oftentimes it doth present harsh rage,
Defect of manners, want of government,
Pride, haughtiness, opinion and disdain:
The least of which haunting a nobleman
