Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 28. That riches is a sicknesse to those, that doe not possesse the good thereof, so much as they are possest thereby

Some peoples senses wealth doth so bereave,
That they to nothingelse their minds can frame:
So have they wealth, as men are said to have
The Ague, when 'tis th'ague, that hath them;
For it afflicts them with the maladies
Of covetous desire, and avarice.
