Epigram. 78. In Luscum: quod quisque, suæ fortunæ faber.

Lvscu , the worst demeanur'd man aliue,
Wonders, of all he onely cannot thriue,
But 'tis his lack, sayes he, when by his fauour,
Tis not his luck, it is his lewd behauiour:
“Our selues our fortunes frame (how ere he giue it)
“And none is hurt but by himselfe, beleeue it.
Nemo læditur nisi à seipso.
