Epig. XVI. In Crura.

[_]

Patientia.

Patience of all the vertues and the Arts
Is the maine prop. And as those daintie parts
The neat-proportioned pillers, that doe beare
The bodie with quick motions heere and there,
For comely shape, are the most gracefull limmes:
So gentle patience all the vertues dimmes.
Cheife glorie by true patience Honour gaines:
Patience alone the vertues all sustaines.
