Epigrams. The First Booke. № 27. Of Lust, and Anger

LUst taking pleasure in its owne delite,
Communicats it selfe to two togither:
But far more base is anger, whose despite
Rejoyceth at the sorrow of another;
For th'one is kindly, th'other sows debate;
Lust hath a smack of love: but wrath of hate.

2. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 24. No man should glory too much in the flourishing verdure of his Youth
3. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 22. A very ready way to goodnesse, and true VVisedome
4. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 43. That inconveniences ought to be regarded to before hand
5. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 42. The speech of a noble spirit to his adversary, whom af∣ter he had defeated, he acknowledgeth to be nothing in∣feriour to himselfe in worth, wit, or valour, thereby insinuating that a wise man cannot properly bee subdued: though he be orthrown in body, and worldly commodities
