The ample proposition that hope makes
In all designs begun on earth below Fails in the promised largeness Checks and disasters
Grow in the veins of actions highest reared, That we come short of our suppose so far That after seven years' siege
yet Troy's walls stand Why then, you princes,
Do you with cheeks abashed behold our works, And think them shame,
which are indeed naught else But the protractive trials of great Jove To find persistive constancy in men?
