10. That a contented man is rich, how litle wealth soever he have.

He's rich who craving nothing else, doth find
Content in the possession of his owne;
For in so much as doth concerne the mind:
Not to desire, and have is all, but one;
For if the thoughts thereof be rich, we 're sure;
Fortune hath not the skill to make us poore.
