Thomas Urquhart (Томас Эркарт)

Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 3. We ought always to thinke upon what we are to say, before we utter any thing; the speeches and talk of solid wits, being still pre∣meditated, and never using to forerunne the mind

OUr tongu's the hearts interpreter, and still
In wise discourse hath but the second place
The heart should end, ere th'tongue begin; for while
The Legate speakes, the Truch-man holdes his peace.
Which order being inverted, we abuse
The hearers patience: and our selves confuse.

1. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 43. That inconveniences ought to be regarded to before hand
2. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 7. That men are not destitute of remedies, within them∣selves against the shrewdest accidents, that can befall them
3. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 38. The truest wealth, man hath it from himselfe
4. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 22. A very ready way to goodnesse, and true VVisedome
5. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 24. No man should glory too much in the flourishing verdure of his Youth
