Poem by Thomas Urquhart

Epigrams. The First Booke. ¹ 3. A brave spirit disdaineth the threats of Fortune

No man of resolution, will endure 
	His liberty in Fortunes hands to thrall; 
For he’s not free, o’r whom she hath least pow’r: 
	But over whom she hath no pow’r at all: 
Nor hath she any chaine, wherewith to bind, 
The inclination of a noble mind.
