Epigram 38 (So thy rare vertues fixed in mine eyes,)
From Chrestoleros (1598), Book 2
Social Commentaries
So thy rare vertues fixed in mine eyes,
Thy gentle nature Caius, and thy minde.
So fraught with learning and good qualities:
That thou art ritch this onely fault I finde.
When thou wast poore thy vertues me releeued.
Since thou art ritch, of both I am depriued.
