The Mind
My Corollarie
From Wittes Pilgrimage (1605)
The Mind
WEalth, like a Pegasus, doth runne, or Flee,
(As swift as Thought) especially from those
That nere are gladd, but when at game they bee,
Though all their Wealth thereby, in Post, they loose:
And so when Wealth away is posted quite
They runne away, or else play least in sight.
