Additional quotes by Edward Fairfax

High state, the bed is where misfortune lies,
Mars most unfriendly, when most kind he seems,
Who climbeth high, on earth he hardest lights,
And lowest falls attend the highest flights.

Wayward beauty doth not fancy move,
A frown forbids, a smile engendereth love.

O poverty, chief of the heavenly brood.
