Poem by Thomas Urquhart
Epigrams. The First Booke. ¹ 8. What man it is, that is truly wealthie
Who measures poverty by Natures rules,
And frames his mind to what he hath, is rich;
For we can never doe, but vexe our soules,
So long’s we straine them to a higher pitch:
And hee, whose heart is discontented, is
But a poore wretch, though all the world were his.
