Cuddy's Emblem. Questo per Amar S'Aquista. The Christian Stoick
QUESTO PER AMAR S'AQUISTA .
THE CHRISTIAN STOICK .
The virtuous man is free, though bound in chains;
Though poor, content; though banished, yet no stranger;
Though sick, in health of mind; secure in danger;
And o'er himself, the world, and fortune reigns.
Nor good haps proud, nor bad dejected make him;
To God's, not to Man's will, he frames each action;
He seeks no fame but inward satisfaction;
And firmer stands, the more bad fortunes [ sic ] shakes him.
