    Why, all delights are vain, but that most vain
    Which, with pain purchased, doth inherit pain:
    As, painfully to pore upon a book,
    To seek the light of truth, which truth the while
    Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look.

This Tharsus, o'er which I have the government,
A city on whom Plenty held full hand,
For Riches strewed herself even in her streets;
Whose towers bore heads so high they kissed the clouds,
And strangers ne'er beheld but wond'red at;
Whose men and dames so jetted and adorned,
Like one another's glass to trim them by;
Their tables were stored full, to glad the sight,
And not so much to feed on as delight;
All poverty was scorned, and pride so great
The name of help grew odious to repeat.
