Thomas Urquhart (Томас Эркарт)

Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 32. That all our life, is but a continuall course, and vicissitude of sinning, and being sorry for sinne

WE sinne with joy: and having fin'd, we mourn,
Then kindle, after teares, new sinfull fires;
There being a turne perpetuall, and returne
'Twixt our repentance, and profane desires;
For senses to delights are wedded wholly,
Which purchas'd, reason doth bewaile their folly.

1. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 30. That wise men, to speak properly, are the most powerfull men in the world
2. Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 8. The resolution of a proficient in vertue
3. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 43. That inconveniences ought to be regarded to before hand
4. Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 17. VVhy we must all dye
5. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 23. We ought not to regard the contumelies, and calumnies of Lyars, and profane men
