Thomas Urquhart (Томас Эркарт)

Epigrams. The First Booke. № 44. To one, who was heavily cast downe in Spirit, by rea∣son of some scandalous speeches, blased forth to his disadvantage

BE not discouraged at calumnies,
Which are not (at the worst) but loads of wind;
And therefore, with a strong and patient mind▪
Most easie to support, if you be wise;
For nat'rally such burthens are but light:
Unlesse the Bearers weaknesse give them weight.

  Thus endeth the first Booke, of Sir THO∣MAS VRCHARDS Epigrams.

1. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 40. The duty of a husband to his wife
2. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 16. How a man should oppose adversitie
3. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 8. What sort of benefits one ought to bestow
4. Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 40. Of wisedome, in speech, in action in reality, and reputation
5. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 43. That inconveniences ought to be regarded to before hand
