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.

1. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 32. That if we strove not more for superfluities, then for what is needfull, we would not be so much troubled, is wee are
2. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 33. The onely true progresse to a blessed life
3. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 29. A truely liberall man never bestoweth his gifts, in hope of recompence
4. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 27. Of Lust, and Anger
5. Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 19. The Parallel of Nature, and For∣tune
