Thomas Urquhart (Томас Эркарт)

Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 1. No crosse adventure should hinder vs from being good; though we be frustrate of the reward thereof

BY any meanes, with all your might endeavour
For honesty, whats'ever be th'event:
Although sinister fortune should dissever
Vertue from honour, be not discontent;
For if you be deprived of your due,
The fault is in the time: and not in you.

1. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 22. A very ready way to goodnesse, and true VVisedome
2. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 43. That inconveniences ought to be regarded to before hand
3. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 24. No man should glory too much in the flourishing verdure of his Youth
4. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 22. Why covetous, and too ambitious men prove not so thankfull, as others for received favours
5. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 4. How abject a thing it is, for a man to have bin long in the world without giving any proofe either by vertue, or learning, that he hath beene at all
