Poem by Thomas Urquhart
Epigrams. The First Booke. № 17. The expression of a contented mind in povertie
THat I'm not covetous, is all my land,
From whence my thoughts new treasours dayly bring:
And the best moveable, which I command
Is, I buy no unnecessary thing:
By these, I of true wealth possesse such store,
That all the Kings on earth can have no more.
