I have ventured,
Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders,
This many summers in a sea of glory,

At length broke under me, and now has left me,
Weary and old with service, to the mercy
Of a rude stream that must for ever hide me.

All quit their sphere and rush into the skies.

Men would be angels, angels would be gods.

Why, who cries out on pride

Doth it not flow read more

Why, who cries out on pride
That can therein tax any private party?
Doth it not flow as hugely as the sea
Till that the weary very means do ebb?
