FOrtune, O myghty & varyable

w[…]at rule thou […]laym[…]st, with thy […]ruel po[…]er
Good folk[…] thou stroyest, and louest re[…]r[…]uable
[…]hou mayst not waraunt thy gyf[…]ꝭ for on[…] houre
Fortun[…] vnworthy men settet[…] in ho[…]oure
Thorowe fortune t[…]īnocent ī wo & so[…]ow sh[…]i[…]heth
The iust man she sp[…]y[…]th, & the vn[…]ust enrycheth.

Yonge men she kylleth, & let[…]eth olde men lyue
V[…]ryghtuously deuydynge, tyme and season
That good […]en leseth, to wyck[…]d doth she gyue
She hath no differēce, […]ut iudgeth all good reason
Inconstaunce, slypper, […]rayle, […]n[…] full of treason
Ne[…]ther for euer cherys[…]ynge, […] keth
Nor for euer oppressynge, whom s[…]e fors[…]keth.
