Ill news hath wings, and with the wind doth go,

Comfort's a cripple and comes ever slow.

MICHAEL DRAYTON, The Barrons' Wars

The mind is free, whate'er afflict the man,

A King's a King, do Fortune what she can.

Thus when we fondly flatter our desires,

Our best conceits do prove the greatest liars.

Care draws on care, woe comforts woe again,

Sorrow breeds sorrow, on grief brings forth twain.
