“Some have too much, yet still do crave;
I little have, and seek no more:
They are but poor, though much they have,
And I am rich with little store:
They poor, I rich; they beg, I give;
They lack, I have; they pine, I live.”

Edward Dyer (1543–1607) courtier

They overtake the deer in flight,
And in their arrogance they smite;
But I am sage, if they are strong:

Yet I suck at my long pipe
At peace in the sun,
