Pagina 1 - I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to the men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill ; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Pagina 1 - Bounding between the ocean and the air, Like Perseus mounted on his Pegasus. Then where are those weak rivals of the main ? Or, to avoid the tempest, fled to port, Or made a prey to Neptune. Even thus Do empty show, and true-prized worth, divide In storms of fortune.
