Epigrams: Divine and Moral | ||
2. That those of a solid wit, cannot be puffed vp with applause; nor incensed by contumelie.
What vulgar people speake (if we be wise)Will neither joy, nor miscontentment breed us;
For we ought mens opinions so to prise:
As that they may attend us, and not lead us,
It not being fit their praise should rule our actions:
Or that we shun what's good for their detractions.
