Epigrams. The First Booke. № 4. How to become wise

Who would be truly wise, must in all haste 
	His mind of perturbations dispossesse; 
For wisedome is a large, and spatious guhest: 
	And can not dwell, but in an empty place, 
Therefore to harbour her, we must not grudge, 
To make both vice, and passion to dislodge.

Эпиграммы. Книга I. № 4. Как обретают мудрость

Запомни, приглашая мудрость в дом:
	Она собой заполнит всё пространство,
В котором жить вы будете вдвоём,
	А всё, что нарушает постоянство,
То бишь измены, страсти и порок,
Ты выставишь немедля за порог!
