Poem by Thomas Urquhart
Epigrams. The First Booke. № 13. Who is not satisfied with his owne fortune, how great soever it be, is miserable
THough the Septemvirat of Dutch Electors
Inaugurat him Caesar: and each one
Extoll his valour above that of Hectors:
In wit, and wealth surpassing Salomon;
Yet if he proudly soare a higher pitch:
He's neither mighty, valiant, wise, nor rich.
