Boethius Quotes

Fortune's Malice. Mad Fortune Sweeps Along In Wanton Pride, Uncertain As Euripus' Surging Tide; Now Tramples Mighty Kings Beneath Her Feet; Now Sets The Conquered In The Victor's Seat. She Heedeth Not The Wail Of Hapless Woe, But Mocks The Griefs That From Her Mischief Flow. Such Is Her Sport; So Proveth She Her Power; And Great The Marvel, When In One Brief Hour She Shows Her Darling Lifted High In Bliss, Then Headlong Plunged In Misery's Abyss.
