• Boileau, Épitre , V :⁠— “Qu’à son gré désormais la fortune me joue, On me verra dormir au branle de sa roué.” And Tennyson’s Song of “Fortune and her Wheel”:⁠— “Turn, Fortune, turn thy wheel and lower the proud; Turn thy wild wheel thro’ sunshine, storm, and cloud; Thy wheel and thee we neither love nor hate. “Turn, Fortune, turn thy wheel with smile or frown; With that wild wheel we go not up or down; Our hoard is little, but our hearts are great. “Smile and we smile, the lords of many lands; Frown and we smile, the lords of our own hands; For man is man and master of his fate. “Turn, turn thy wheel above the staring crowd; Thy wheel and thou are shadows in the cloud; Thy wheel and thee we neither love nor hate.” ↩
