. "Time goes.by turns." " The' Sea ofFortune doth not ever flow, She draws Her favour to the lowest ebb; - Her time Hath equal times to come and go; Her loom doth weave the fine and coarsest web; No joy so great but runneth to an end, No hap so hard but may in tim« amend. Not always fall of leaf, nor ever spring; No endless night, yet not eternal day; The saddeßt/birds a season find to sing; : ,The roughest storm a calm may soon allay ;— Thus withvsuccee'ding turns-God tempereth all, That man^may.hope to rise, yet fear to fall." Southwell.
