Thomas Urquhart (Томас Эркарт)
Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 27. We should not be sorry, to be destitute of any thing: so long as we have judgments to perswade vs, that we may minister to our selves, what we have not, by not longing for it
TO want, what J should have, shall never make
My heart lesse cheerfull; reason still requiring,
Page 51 That J be pleas'd, whats' ever things J lacke,
To furnish to my selfe, by not desiring;
For not to wish for things, against the griefe
Of feare, and frustrate hopes provides reliefe.
