Good luck knocks at his door;
And wit to read more

O, once in each man's life, at least,
Good luck knocks at his door;
And wit to seize the flitting guest
Need never hunger more.

The bold heart storms at fortune's gates,
And conquers its desire.

Of me for jests; but now I'll set my teeth
And send to darkness all that stop me.
