S. CHRYS. in Ep. ad Heb. Contemn riches, and thou shalt be rich; contemn glory, and thou shalt be glorious; contemn injuries, and thou shalt be a conqueror; contemn rest, and thou shalt gain rest; contemn earth, and thou shalt find heaven. HUGO Lib. de Vanit. Mundi. The world is a vanity, which affordeth neither beauty to the amorous, nor reward to the laborious, nor encouragement to the industrious. EPIG. 10. This house is to be lett for life or years; Her rent is sorrow, and her income tears; Cupid, 't has long stood void; her bills make known, She must be dearly lett; or let alone. XI. MATTH. vii. 14. Narrow is the way that leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. REPOST'ROUS fool, thou troul'st* amiss; PH Thou err'st; that's not the way, 'tis this. Thy hopes, instructed by thine eye, Make thee appear more near than I ; And has more obvious rubs than thine: * Troul'st; i. e. roll a ball. And And shall the crown of glory stand That's rais'd with brackish drops and blood: But things of price are bought with pains. He that would conquer heav'n, must fight. |
