FORTUNE by ANONYMOUS

First Line: THE LADY FORTUNE IS BOTH FRIEND AND FOE
Last Line: "NOR TRUSTETH NO MAN TO THIS WEAL, THE WHEEL IT TURNETH SO"
Subject(s): FORTUNE;

The Lady Fortune is both friend and foe;
Of poor she maketh rich, of rich poor also,
She turneth woe all into weal and weal all into woe,
Nor trusteth man to this weal, the wheel it turneth so.
