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.

2. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 13. What the subject of your conference ought to be with men of judgment, and account
3. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 29. A truely liberall man never bestoweth his gifts, in hope of recompence
4. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 19. What is not vertuously acquired, if acquired by vs, is not properly ours
5. Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 17. VVhy we must all dye
