From the Medieval song cycle - Carmina Burana-
12th century….
The Wheel of Fortune sung about.
O fortune (adapted from carmina burana)

O fortune
Just like the moon you change your face
Always increasing or decreasing the passage of our lives
Now difficult and then easy
Your gain sharpens poverty
And power dissolves as does ice
Often full
Then empty
Your revolving wheel
Malevolent
Leads to vanity and then nothingness

Shadowed and veiled you haunt me
As through your games
I bare my back to your lash

Fate rails against me
In despair or virtue
Driven on and weighted down
I’m a slave at this hour then king the next
So without delay
Take the pulse of my soul O Fate
Because through luck you lay us low
So all of you…come and weep with me
