    We do but row, we're steer'd by Fate,
    Which in success oft disinherits,
    For spurious causes, noblest merits.

Stern fate and time
Will have their victims; and the best die first,
Leaving the bad still strong, though past their prime,
To curse the hopeless world they ever curs'd
Vaunting vile deeds, and vainest of the worst.
