Poem by Thomas Urquhart

Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 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.
