Poem by Thomas Urquhart
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.
