IN christall towers, and turrets richlie sette With glittering gemmes, that shine against the sonne: In regall roomes of Iasper, and of Iette, Contente of minde, not alwaies likes to wonne: But oftentimes, it pleaseth her to staye In simple cotes, clos'de in with walles of claye. DIOGENES, within a tonne did dwell, No choice of place, nor store of pelfe he had; And all his goodes; coulde BIAS beare right well, And CODRVS had small cates, his harte to gladde: His meate was rootes: his table, was a stoole, Yet these for witte, did set the worlde to scoole? Who couettes still, or hee that liues in feare, As much delighte is wealthe vnto his minde, As musicke is to him, that can not heare, Or pleasante showes, and pictures, to the blinde: Then sweete content, ofte likes the meane estate, Which is exempte, and free, from feare, and hate. What man is ritche? not he that doth abounde. What man is pore? not hee that hath no store. But he is ritche, that makes content his grounde. And he is pore, that couettes more and more. Which proues: the man was ritcher in the tonne, Then was the Kinge, that manie landes had wonne. If then, content the chiefest riches bee, And greedie gripes, that doe abounde be pore, Since that, inoughe allotted is to thee, Embrace content, then CAESAR hath no more. Giue MIDAS, goulde: and let him pine with shame. Vse you, your goodes, to liue, and die, with fame. Erasm. Chiliad. 61. Centuria 8. de Dio- gene, & quid per vitam doliatem: significatur.
