Epigrams. The First Booke. ¹ 2. That those of a solid wit, cannot be puffed vp with applause; nor incensed by contumelie

What vulgar people speake (if we be wise) 
	Will neither joy, nor miscontentment breed us; 
For we ought mens opinions so to prise: 
	As that they may attend us, and not lead us, 
It not being fit their praise should rule our actions: 
Or that we shun what’s good for their detractions.
