Thomas Urquhart (Томас Эркарт)
Epigrams. The First Booke. № 31. To a rich man, become poore
YOur poverty should be the more esteemed, That by the meanes thereof you are exeemed From stubborne servants, lying Sycophants, And faigned friends: in lieu whereof, it grants These three of a more vertuous company, Ease, humble cariage, and sobriety.
