An Iliad of woes.
— Woe
An Iliad of woes.
Waste brings woe, and sorrow hates despair.
When one is past, another care we have;Thus woe succeeds a woe, as wave a wave.
And woe succeeds to woe.
Long exercised in woes.
Woe unto you,… for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin.
So perish all whose breast ne'er learned to glowFor other's good or melt at other's woe.
I was not always a man of woe.
O, woe is me, T'have seen what I have seen, see what I see!
One woe doth tread upon another's heelSo fast they follow.
All these woes shall serveFor sweet discourses in our time to come.
Woes, cluster; rare are solitary woes;They love a train, they tread each other's heel.
