Thomas Urquhart (Томас Эркарт)

Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 43. We should not be troubled at the accidents of Fortune nor those things, which cannot be eschewed

Let’s take in patience, sicknesse, banishments, 
	Paine, losse of goods, death, and enforced strife; 
For none of those are so much punishments, 
	As Tributes, which we pay unto this life; 
From the whole tract whereof we cannot borrow 
One dram of Joy, that is not mix’d with sorrow.

Эпиграммы. Книга III. № 43. Нас не должны беспокоить превратности Судьбы, а также то, чего избежать невозможно

Болезни, разорение, изгнанье
	Прими, как есть, и сердце успокой:
Она нас давят столь огромной данью,
	Что даже капли радости такой
Ты не найдёшь во всём житейском море,
В какой бы не присутствовало горе.
