Elizabeth I WRITTEN ON A WALL AT WOODSTOCK Oh, fortune, thy wresting wavering state Hath fraught with cares my troubled wit, Whose witness this present prison late Could bear, where once was joy's loan quit. Thou causedst the guilty to be loosed From bands where innocents were inclosed, And caused the guiltless to be reserved And freed those that death had well deserved. But all herein can be nothing wrought, So God send my foes all they have thought.
