Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 26. The vertuous speech of a diseased man, most patient in his sicknesse

MY flesh still having beene an enemy
Unto my spirit, it should glad my heart,
That paines, which seize now on my body, may
Be profitable to my better part;
For though Diseases seeme at first unpleasant,
They point us out the way, we ought to goe:
Admonish us exactly of our present
Estate: and t'us at last this favour shew,
That they enlarge us from that ruinous,
Close, and darke prison, which confined us.

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
