Sir Drake whom well the world's end knew Which thou did'st compass round, And whom both Poles of heaven once saw Which North and South do bound, The stars above would make thee known, If men here silent were; The sun himself cannot forget His fellow traveller. - epigram on Sir Francis Drake, pt. II, 39 of first volume dedicated to Lady Mary Neville [Epigrams] God and the Doctor we alike adore But only when in danger, not before; The danger o'er, both are alike requited, God is forgotten, and the Doctor slighted. - Epigram [Forgetfulness] I wish thy lot, now bad, still worse, my friend, For when at worst, they say, things always mend. - To a Friend in Distress, (Cowper's translation) [Fortune] This day was yesterday to-morrow nam'd: To-morrow shall be yesterday proclaimed: To-morrow not yet come, not far away, What shall to-morrow then be call'd? To-day. - To-Day and To-Morrow (bk. III, 50) [Tomorrow] All thing I thought I knew; but now confess The more I know I know, I know the less. - Works (bk. VI, 39) [Knowledge]
