Poem by Thomas Urquhart
Epigrams. The First Booke. ¹ 11. How to be alwayes in repose
So that desire, and feare may never jarre
Within your soule: no losse of meanes, nor ryot
Of cruell foes, no sicknesse, harme by Warre,
Nor chance whats’ever will disturbe your quiet;
For in a setled, and well temper’d mind,
None can the meanest perturbation find.
