Poem by Thomas Urquhart

Epigrams. The First Booke. ¹ 24. That they may be alike rich, who are not alike abun∣dantly stored with worldly commodities

I have of Lands, nor moneyes no large portion:
Yet, if I be content, to thinke, that J•
Am not as rich, as any, were great dulnesse;
For wealth not being in plenty, but proportion,
Though vessels have not like capacity:
They may be all of them alike in fulnesse.

3. Epigrams. The First Booke. ¹ 26. How to support the contumelie of defamatorie speeches
4. Epigrams. The First Booke. ¹ 5. The wise, and noble resolution of a truly couragious, and devout spirit, towards the absolute danting of those irregular affections, and inward perturbations, which readily might happen to impede the current of his sanctified designes: and oppose his already ini∣tiated progresse, in the divinely proposed course of a vertuous, and holy life
5. Epigrams. The First Booke. ¹ 18. Not time, but our actions, are the true measure of our life
