Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 27. The bad returnes of ingrate men should not deterre us from being liberall

THough you ingrate receivers dayly find,
Let not their faults make you lesse Noble prove;
It not being, th'action of a gen'rous mind
To give and lose so, as to lose, and give;
For that, a churle may doe, in hope of gaine:
But this partakes of a heroick straine.

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 Second Booke. № 23. We ought not to regard the contumelies, and calumnies of Lyars, and profane men
5. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 36. How difficult a thing it is, to tread in the pathes of vertue
