Classic Poem

Me thought some staues he mist: if so, not much amisse,
For where he most would hit, he euer yet did misse.
One said he brake a crosse; full well it so might be,
For neuer was there man more crossely crost then he.
But most cryed, O well broke; O foole full gaily blest,
Where failing is a shame, and breaking is his best.
