Content.

All wealth and wisedome rests in true Content. Contentment is our heauen, and all our deeds Bound in that circle, seld or neuer closde. G. Chapman.

Who seekes to haue the thing we call enough, Acquaint himselfe with Contentation: For plenteousnesse is but a naked name: And what sufficeth vse of mortall men, Shall best apay the meane and modest harts. G. Gascoigne.

The noblest mind the best contentment hath. Ed. Spencer.

High climing wits do catch a sudden fall, With none of these Content doth dwell withall. D. Lodge.

Content feeds not on glory nor on pelfe. Cōtent can be contented with her selfe. Th. Bastard.

Cōtent is worth a monarchy, and mischief hits the hie. W. Warner.

Who so contented liues, is happie wise. D. Lodge.

Inconstant change such tickle turnes hath lent, As who so feares to fall, must seeke Content. Depriue the world of perfect discontent. All glories end, true honour strait is stain'd: And life it selfe in errors course is spent. All toyle doth sort but to a sory end, For through mislikes each learnes for to amend. D. Lodge.

He only liues most happily That's free and farre from maiestie: Can liue content, although vnknowne: He fearing none, none fearing him: Medling with nothing but his owne, While gazing eyes at crownes grow dim. Th. Kyd.
