Some in their wealth, some in their bodies' force,
Some in their garments though new-fangled ill;
Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse;

Wherein it finds a joy above the rest:

All these I better in one general best.

Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' cost,
Of more delight than hawks and horses be;

Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take
All this away, and me most wretched make. — William Shakespeare
