Such are fate’s decrees, running within their reins.

So be patient, for they have no patience to remain in one state.
So be patient - they cannot persist in one state.

One day they show you someone of lowly origin, raising him
One day they raise the lowly to the heights,
To the heights, and another day they bring the exalted low.
Another day they bring down those on high.
