Poem by Thomas Urquhart

Epigrams. The Third Booke. ¹ 21. To one, who did confide too much in the sound temperament, and goodly constitution of his bodily complexion

Boast not of outward health: but have a care
Your soule be not distemperd; for we find
The case of them most dangerous, who are
In wholsome bodies of a sickly mind,
Vice tyrannizing over flesh, and blood
In those, whose will, and judgement are not good.

3. Epigrams. The First Booke. ¹ 20. Of Negative, and Positive good
4. Epigrams. The Second Booke. ¹ 30. That the setled quiet of our mind ought not to be moved at sinister accidents
5. Epigrams. The Third Booke. ¹ 5. A certaine ancient philosopher did hereby insi∣nuate, how necessary a thing the administrati∣on of iustice was: and to be alwaies vigilant in the judicious di∣stribution of punishment, and recompence
