Poem by Thomas Urquhart

Epigrams. The First Booke. ¹ 28. An encouragement to an impatient man in an Ague

WHy should you in your sicknesse thus enrage;
Seeing patience doth a gen'rous mind befit?
You may be sure, it will not last an Age;
For if it leave not you: you must leave it:
Take courage then, faint not: but bravel endure
Whats'ê• to kill the soule hath not the pow'r.
