Oh wearisome Condition of Humanity!

Oh wearisome Condition of Humanity!
Borne under one Law to another bound:
Vainely begot, and yet forbidden vanity,
Created sicke, commanded to be sound.

—Fulke Greville, Mustapha, Chorus Sacerdotum, quoted in C.S. Lewis, English Literature in the Sixteenth Century.
