Fickle Fortune: A Fragment
1782 fickle fortune: a fragment though fickle fortune has deceived me, she pormis'd fair and perform'd but ill; of mistress, friends, and wealth bereav'd me, yet i bear a heart shall support me still. i'll act with prudence as far 's i'm able, but if success i must never find, then come misfortune, i bid thee welcome, i'll meet thee with an undaunted mind.
