    The whizzing arrow sings,
    And bears thy fate, Antinous, on its wings.     Pope.

Theological fate represents Deity as above the laws of nature, and ordaining all things according to his will -- the expression of that will being the law. Krauth- Fleming.

    Syn. -- Destiny; lot; doom; fortune; chance.
