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. № 43. That inconveniences ought to be regarded to before hand
2. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 41. Concerning those, who marry for beauty, and wealth without regard of vertue
3. 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
4. Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 12. An vprightly zealous, and truly devout man is strong enough against all temptations
5. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 22. Why covetous, and too ambitious men prove not so thankfull, as others for received favours
