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.

2. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 34. The misery of such, as are doubtfull, and suspi∣cious of their VVives chastitie
3. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 35. Wherein true Wealth consists
4. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 42. The speech of a noble spirit to his adversary, whom af∣ter he had defeated, he acknowledgeth to be nothing in∣feriour to himselfe in worth, wit, or valour, thereby insinuating that a wise man cannot properly bee subdued: though he be orthrown in body, and worldly commodities
5. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 19. What is not vertuously acquired, if acquired by vs, is not properly ours
