Edmund Spenser Quote

Ah lucklesse babe, borne vnder cruell starre,And in dead parents balefull ashes bred,Full litle weenest thou, what sorrowes areLeft thee for portion of thy liuelihed,Poore Orphane in the wide world scattered,As budding braunch rent from the natiue tree,And throwen forth, till it be withered:Such is the state of men: thus enter weeInto this life with woe, and end with miseree.
