Epigrams. The First Booke. № 31. To a rich man, become poore

YOur poverty should be the more esteemed,
That by the meanes thereof you are exeemed
From stubborne servants, lying Sycophants,
And faigned friends: in lieu whereof, it grants
These three of a more vertuous company,
Ease, humble cariage, and sobriety.

2. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 43. That inconveniences ought to be regarded to before hand
3. Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 17. VVhy we must all dye
4. Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 8. The resolution of a proficient in vertue
5. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 6. To one, whom poverty was to be wished for, in so farre, as he could hardly otherwise be restrained from excessive ryot, and feasting
