To the Right Honourable, Henry, Lord Paulet, One of the Sons of John Marquesse of Wincester

Here in the world all do hap hazard live,
Each where to every man wil fortune give,
Now a fierce frown, then a faire smile againe,
Respecting still mutation to maintain,
Your greatest flouds will have their ebos, and then
Each ebbe will wait to have a floud again.

Placed are we thus in a troublous world,
About that by inconstancy is hurld;
Well then may your most firme and constant mind
Let bap renew , waiting a better wind,
Ever revolving in your head, that when
The storm's most fierce, calm's like to come again.
