Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 27. The bad returnes of ingrate men should not deterre us from being liberall

THough you ingrate receivers dayly find,
Let not their faults make you lesse Noble prove;
It not being, th'action of a gen'rous mind
To give and lose so, as to lose, and give;
For that, a churle may doe, in hope of gaine:
But this partakes of a heroick straine.

2. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 24. No man should glory too much in the flourishing verdure of his Youth
3. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 27. Of Lust, and Anger
4. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 13. What the subject of your conference ought to be with men of judgment, and account
5. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 33. The onely true progresse to a blessed life
