Epigrams: Divine and Moral | ||
17. The expression of a contented mind in povertie.
That I'm not covetous, is all my land,From whence my thoughts new treasours dayly bring:
And the best moveable, which I command
Is, I buy no unnecessary thing:
By these, I of true wealth possesse such store,
That all the Kings on earth can have no more.
