Nor envy me if I’m more wise than you.

If you write thus, your wish would not be worse,

May I be eighty ere death lays me low.

The following are some lines out of his poems:—

Watch well each separate citizen,

Lest having in his heart of hearts

A secret spear, one still may come

Saluting you with cheerful face,

And utter with a double tongue

The feigned good wishes of his wary mind.
