Epigrams. The First Booke. № 44. To one, who was heavily cast downe in Spirit, by rea∣son of some scandalous speeches, blased forth to his disadvantage

BE not discouraged at calumnies,
Which are not (at the worst) but loads of wind;
And therefore, with a strong and patient mind▪
Most easie to support, if you be wise;
For nat'rally such burthens are but light:
Unlesse the Bearers weaknesse give them weight.

  Thus endeth the first Booke, of Sir THO∣MAS VRCHARDS Epigrams.

4. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 17. The expression of a contented mind in povertie
5. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 24. That they may be alike rich, who are not alike abun∣dantly stored with worldly commodities
