    THE TRANSLATOR DEDICATES THIS WORK TO THE MOST EXCELLENTLY ACCOMPLISHED LADY, THE C.D. OE E. READER Part of these things thy mind shall prompt thee to, And part, some God shall teach thee how to do. Again ? If Fate thee call, else with no violence. Nor hardest Iron canst thou dig them thence. Once again, and so Farewell. Many shapes of Fate there be. Much done beyond our hope, we see: What we think sure, God often stays And finds, for things undreamt of, ways, For so did this succeed to me. And so I wish it may to thee. Eirenaeus Orandus.
