ONE day I wrote her name upon the strand,
but came the waves and washèd it away:
again I wrote it with a second hand,
but came the tide, and made my pains his prey.
Vain man, said she, that dost in vain assay,
a mortal thing so to immortalize,
for I my self shall like to this decay,
and eek my name be wipèd out likewise.
Not so, (quoth I) let baser things devise,
to die in dust, but you shall live by fame:
my verse your virtues rare shall eternise,
and in the heavens write your glorious name.
Where whenas death shall all the world subdue,
our love shall live, and later life renew.

ARION, when through tempests cruel wrack,
He forth was thrown into the greedy seas:
through the sweet music which his harp did make
allured a Dolphin him from death to ease.
But my rude music, which was wont to please
some dainty ears, cannot, with any skill,
the dreadfull tempest of her wrath appease,
nor move the Dolphin from her stubborn will,
But in her pride she doth persever still,
all careless how my life for her decays:
yet with one word she can it save or spill.
to spill were pity, but to save were praise.
Choose rather to be praised for doing good,
than to be blam'd for spilling guiltless blood.

MY hungry eyes through greedy covetise,
still to behold the object of their pain:
with no contentment can themselues suffice,
but having, pine, and having not, complain.
For lacking it they cannot life sustain,
and having it they gaze on it the more:
in their amazement like Narcissus vain
whose eyes him starv'd: so plenty makes me poor.
Yet are mine eyes so filled with the store
of that fair sight, that nothing else they brook,
but loathe the things which they did like before,
and can no more endure on them to look.
All this world's glory seemeth vain to me,
and all their shows but shadows saving she.

I have to write a paper on the play and the qeustions are:

What is the most difficult thing about the script to understand? (This could be a character, a specific scene, some element of the background story, etc.) Why?

What do you think this play is trying to teach us? Does it still relate to us today? Why or why not?

Ok, I wrote a philosophy but I just want to make sure that there are no BETTER ways to rephrase this... "Be grateful for life's conveniences, but even moreso for it's hardships."

thanx.
