Epigrams. The First Booke. ¹ 7. Riches without further, can make no man happy

AS he, whose body is not well in health,
To search for ease, from bed to bed will rise:
So to a mind, that is diseased, wealth
Is not the end: but change of miseries;
And that, which made his poverty to vexe him,
Will make his riches likewise to perplexe him.
