Epig. 31. The Character of an accomplisht Man.
Hee that is moulded of a noble mind,
Dares beare (with Atlas) Heaven on his back,
Flies not with feathers of a Buzzard kind,
Doth reverence, not feare the Thunder crack.
Dares beare (with Atlas) Heaven on his back,
Flies not with feathers of a Buzzard kind,
Doth reverence, not feare the Thunder crack.

Sups up his sighs, and swallowes down his griefe,
Beggs but of God, or of his great Vicegerents,
Cannot endure to name the word, Reliefe,
And serves but Honour, or her lov'd Adherents.
Beggs but of God, or of his great Vicegerents,
Cannot endure to name the word, Reliefe,
And serves but Honour, or her lov'd Adherents.
Knowes his Deserts, and yet cannot Importune,
Bites on bare need, and yet laments no lack,
Hates to be call'd or thought the Child of Fortune,
Stoops not to Death, untill his heart-strings crack.
Bites on bare need, and yet laments no lack,
Hates to be call'd or thought the Child of Fortune,
Stoops not to Death, untill his heart-strings crack.
Lives like himselfe, and at his latest breath
Dies like himselfe, a Conquerour of Death.
Dies like himselfe, a Conquerour of Death.
