22. Why covetous, and too ambitious men prove not so thankfull, as others for received favours.
Whose mind with pride, and avarice doth flow,Remember seldome of a courtesie,
So well, as humbler spirits doe; for who
Lean's most on hope, yeelds least to memory:
Their thoughts so farre on future aimes being set,
That by-past things they purposely forget.
