Текст оригинала на английском языке

Epigrams. The First Booke. № 30. That wise men, to speak properly, are the most powerfull men in the world


THe greatest power is to wise men due:
The pow'r of all men else to theirs being nought;
For wise men onely, what they will, can doe;
Because they will not doe; but, what they ought:
Such being their cariage, that their reason still
Directs their power: and informes their will.
