Here you will find the Poem Metr: Boetius 1s 1 Quisquis Comp of poet Thomas Parnell
The Man whose mind & actions still Sedate Can bravely triumph ore ye thoughts of fate He who unaltered fortunes Changes brookes Without elated or dejected lookes With a fixd carriage & undaunted soul Shall see ye oceans boiling surges roll Vesuvius flames in smoaky pillars rise & bolts of thunder dart from opening skys Why dread we wretched mankind tell me why When the vain threats of tyrants idely fly Weigh all things right as in themselves they are Unlearn your minds to move by hope & fear With in yr breast lett resolution reign & all their baffled forces act in vain But he who servily can wish or grieve For that which is not in his powr to give Casts off the firmness wch shoud make him great the strongest shield we can oppose to fate letts inclinations grow & thus he weaves Those very bonds which keep us passions slaves.
