Note E488 — 113.
Reading edition
"For fortunes looke." In editions of 1573 and 1585 the reading is "For fortune, look." It is evident that these verses were written at the time when our author first retired from court, and that they were appended to this work long after. They allude to recent events, to "fatal chance," and to other circumstances, which would have been obliterated from the mind after the lapse of so many years.—M. See Tusser's Autobiography, ch. 114, stanza 14, p. 208.
