Poem by Thomas Urquhart

Epigrams. The Second Booke. ¹ 34. The misery of such, as are doubtfull, and suspi∣cious of their VVives chastitie

CLose Jealous men make not so evident
In any thing the madnesse of their braines:
Page  33 As that, the more that they are diligent,
They have the greater hope to lose their paines;
For their whole care, to search that, is imployed,
Which not to find, they would be overjoyed.

2. Epigrams. The Third Booke. ¹ 6. That overweening impedeth oftentimes the per∣fectioning of the very same qualitie, wee are proudest of
3. Epigrams. The Second Booke. ¹ 24. No man should glory too much in the flourishing verdure of his Youth
4. Epigrams. The Second Booke. ¹ 22. A very ready way to goodnesse, and true VVisedome
5. Epigrams. The First Booke. ¹ 30. That wise men, to speak properly, are the most powerfull men in the world
