Thomas Urquhart


Epigrams. The Third Booke. ¹ 4. That Lust, and drunkennesse are odious vices


Wrath makes a man to sin couragiously,
And pride doth swell with faire appearances:
Page  41 But drunkenesse, and too much Leacherie
Are sloven, filthie, villanous, and base;
For by the one Gods image being exil'd,
His Temple by the other is defil'd.
