Upon the much honoured Gentleman, John Delahay of Alltrynis, Esq
Conspicuæ virtutis amor dominatur in illo
Non magnus fieri, sed studet esse bonus.
Non magnus fieri, sed studet esse bonus.
An old Philosopher with a Candle ran
About the streets to find an honest man.
Had he liv'd now, and met with him, I swear
He had been pleas'd to stay his journey there.
Or if he had refused him for one,
He might in vain through all the world have gone.
