Quote by George Wither

“Yea, now I see, methinks what weak and vain Supporters I have sought, to help sustain My fainting heart; when injurious hand Would undermine the station where I stand. Methinks I see how scurvy, and how base It is, to scrape for favors and for grace To men of earthly minds, and unto those Who may, perhaps, before to-morrow, lose Their wealth, or their abused authority, And stand as much in want of help as I.”
