 | Ex otio Negotium |  |
De vipera electro inclusa, Epig. 59.
Whiles up the Viper climbes the weeping boughs,The amber drop the strugling beast ore flowes,
Wondring to see himself in rich dew found,
The freezing gemm inclosed him quickly round.
Boast not then Cleopatra of thy Tombe
Since a Snake lyes in a more noble room.
