Poem by Thomas Urquhart
Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 20. Riches affoord to vertue more matter to worke upon, then povertie can doe
FOr Temperance, and other qualities
Of greater moment, men have beene respected
In riches: but in poverty there is
This onely goodnesse, not to be dejected;
Whence shunning want, we means embrace, which yeeld,
To vertue a more large, and spacious field.
