Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 22. A very ready way to goodnesse, and true VVisedome

Who vertuously would settle his endeavours,
To mortifie his passions, and be wise:
Must still remember on received favours,
Forgetting alwaies by-past injuries;
For that a friend should prove ingrate, is strange:
And mercy is more Noble, then revenge.

1. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 43. That inconveniences ought to be regarded to before hand
2. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 24. No man should glory too much in the flourishing verdure of his Youth
3. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 22. Why covetous, and too ambitious men prove not so thankfull, as others for received favours
4. Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 6. That overweening impedeth oftentimes the per∣fectioning of the very same qualitie, wee are proudest of
5. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 42. The speech of a noble spirit to his adversary, whom af∣ter he had defeated, he acknowledgeth to be nothing in∣feriour to himselfe in worth, wit, or valour, thereby insinuating that a wise man cannot properly bee subdued: though he be orthrown in body, and worldly commodities
