Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 6. That overweening impedeth oftentimes the per∣fectioning of the very same qualitie, wee are proudest of

FOnd selfe-conceit likes never to permit
Ones mind, to see it selfe with upright eyes;
Whence many men might have attain'd to wit,
Had they not thought themselves already wise:
To boast of wisedome then, is foolishnesse;
For while we thinke, we're wise: we're nothing lesse.

2. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 30. That wise men, to speak properly, are the most powerfull men in the world
3. Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 17. VVhy we must all dye
4. Epigrams. The First Booke. № 39. When a true friend may be best knowne
5. Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 29. A truely liberall man never bestoweth his gifts, in hope of recompence
