The Poetical Recreations of Mr. Alexander Craig | ||
To his friend who seemd sorie when he left Court.
I scorne to liue at Court, because J spyThe wicked heaps vp wealth, the foole hath grace:
The wise man weeps, and in disgrace must die,
And vanitie must march in vertues place:
Far better were on shore secure t'abide,
Nor saill in vane against both wind and tide.
