Dryd, Virg.
How hard 'tis for the Profperous to fee That Fate, which waits on Pow'r and Victory f How.
*Tis better not to be, than to be unhappy I *Tis better not to be, than to be Creon : A thinking Soul is Punilhment enough ; But when 'tis great, like mine, and wretched too, Then ev'ry Thought draws Blood.
I z My 196 Fortune. Fowl.
My Soul's ill married to my Body : I would be young, be handfome, be belov'd.
Could I but breathe my felf into Adrajius !
Were but my Soul in Oedipus, I were a Kin...g !
Then I had kill'd a Monfter ! Gain'd a Battel !
And had my Rival Pris'ner ! Brave, brave Actions!
Why have not I done thefe ? My Fortune hinder'd ; There's it : I have a Soul to do 'em all : But Fortune will have nothing done that's great, Eut by young handfome Fools ! Body and Brawn Do all her Work : Hercules was a Fool !
And ftrait grew famous ; A mad boift'rous Fool !
Nay worfe a Woman's Fool.
Fool is the Stuff of which Heav'n makes a Hero. Dry J.
[Spoken by Creon is Oedipus ] Nature meant me A Wife, a filly harmlefs houfhold Dove, Fond without Art, and kind without Deceit : But Fortune, that has made a Miftrefs of me, Has thruft me out to the wide World, unfurnifh'd (for Love.
