“A fool, A fool! I met a fool i the forest,
A motley fool. A miserable world!

Who laid him down and basked him in the sun,
And railed on Lady Fortune in good terms,
In good set terms, and yet a motley fool.”

Now that I come to die,
Do I view the world as a vale of tears?
Ah, reverend sir, not I!”
