 | Epigrams: Divine and Moral |  |
1. No crosse adventure should hinder vs from being good; though we be frustrate of the reward thereof.
By any meanes, with all your might endeavourFor honesty, whats'ever be th'event:
Although sinister fortune should dissever
Vertue from honour, be not discontent;
For if you be deprived of your due,
The fault is in the time: and not in you.
