Poem by Thomas Urquhart

Epigrams. The Second Booke. ¹ 22. A very ready way to goodnesse, and true VVisedome

Who vertuously would settle his endeavours,
To mortifie his passions, and be wise:
Must still remember on received favours,
Forgetting alwaies by-past injuries;
For that a friend should prove ingrate, is strange:
And mercy is more Noble, then revenge.
