Poem by Thomas Urquhart

Epigrams. The Second Booke. ¹ 7. That men are not destitute of remedies, within them∣selves against the shrewdest accidents, that can befall them

IF you expect to be of toyle, and care
Sometime exeem'd, hope may your griefe diminish:
And patience comfort you, ere you despaire,
Though both those faile, Death will your troubles finish;
Thus are you fitly served with reliefes,
'Gainst Fortunes most elaboured mischiefes.

5. Epigrams. The First Booke. ¹ 25. Vertue, and goodnesse are very much opposed by the selfe-conceit, that many men have of their owne sufficiencie
