Perseverance, dear my lord, Keeps honour bright to have done, is to hang; Quite out of fashion, like a rusty mail; In monumental mockery.
Perseverance, dear my lord, Keeps honour bright to have done, is to hang; Quite out of fashion, like a rusty mail; In monumental mockery.
O, she misused me past the endurance of a block.
So should that beauty which you hold in lease
Find no determination; then you were
Yourself again after yourself's decease,
When your sweet issue your sweet form should bear.
The king-becoming graces,
As justice, verity, temperance, stableness,
Bounty, perseverance, mercy, lowliness,
Devotion, patience, courage, fortitude,
I have no relish of them, but abound
In the division of each several crime,
Acting it many ways.
