Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 33. That there is no true riches, but of necessary things

THe use of mony, is to have the meanes,
Whereby all needfull things may be possess'd,
Which are, but few, and small, & got with ease:
What we have more then that, 'snot wealth, but chains,
Or Fetters of the mind: and at the best,
But heapes of labour, feare, and carefulnesse.

1. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 30. That wise men, to speak properly, are the most powerfull men in the world
2. Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 8. The resolution of a proficient in vertue
3. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 43. That inconveniences ought to be regarded to before hand
4. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 23. We ought not to regard the contumelies, and calumnies of Lyars, and profane men
5. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 36. How difficult a thing it is, to tread in the pathes of vertue
