TO FORTUNE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Tumble me down, and I will sit
Last Line: Neglecting thy derision.


Tumble me down, and I will sit
Upon my ruines (smiling yet:)
Teare me to tatters; yet I'le be
Patient in my necessitie.
Laugh at my scraps of cloaths, and shun
Me, as a fear'd infection:
Yet scarre-crow-like I'le walk, as one,
Neglecting thy derision.
