Epigram. XLI.
[When thou hast cōquer'd all that thou canst win]
When thou hast cōquer'd all that thou canst win,And stretcht thine Empire to the vtmost shore
There is another conquest to begin
Vpon a little world reseru'd in store.
Which no proud Victor euer ouer-ran:
Conquer this, and I'le say thou art a man.
A man's a name too meane, I scorne the ods:
Doe it, thou shalt be equall to the Gods.
