THE LOVER HOPETH OF BETTER CHANCE.
E is not dead, that sometime had a fall,
The sun returns, that hid was under
cloud,
And when fortune hath spit out all her gall,
I trust good luck to me shall be allowed :
For I have seen a ship in haven fall,
After that storm hath broke both mast and shroud ;
The willowe eke, that stoopeth with the wind,
Doth rise again, and greater wood doth bind.
[a ship in haven falla ship reach harbor]
[shroudsail]
[ekealso]
