    while the loss of his inheritance might drive him to despair.

    la perdita del patrimonie.]

That whatsoever thing is lost,
We seek it, ere read more

That whatsoever thing is lost,
We seek it, ere it comes to light,
In every cranny but the right.

My own less bitter, rather more:
Too common! Never morning read more

My own less bitter, rather more:
Too common! Never morning wore
To evening, but some heart did break.
