A prety Epigram, vpon Welth and Will.
Where Welth doth want, there Will can bear no sway;And where Will wants, there Wealth can make no way.
In many things, Welth greatly rules the roste,
In some things too, selfe will, will beare a sway.
To winne the wager, Welth will spare no cost,
Which, to subuert, Will worketh many a way:
And, in the end, let Welth doo what he can,
Yet, commonly, Will stands the stouter man.
