In his substaunce is but air;
For as flaumbe is but lighted smoke,
Right so soun is air ybroke.”

Howsoever, he that for want of will or wit useth not those means, must rest in servitude and poverty.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)
“Your top has sunk too low,
Your base has spread too wide,
For you to roll one stone
Down if you tried.”
