• But words came halting forth, wanting Invention's stay;
  
  Invention, Nature's child, fled stepdame Study's blows;
  
  And others' feet still seemed but strangers in my way.

  Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite:

• Everything here below beneath the sun is subject to continual change; and perhaps there is nothing which can be called more inconstant than opinion, which turns round in an everlasting circle like the wheel of fortune.
