The quiet mind is richer than a crown;

“He kept no Christmas-house for once a yeere,
Each day his boards were fild with Lordly fare;
He fed a rout of yeoman with his cheer,
Nor was his bread and beefe kept in with care;
His wine and beere to strangers were not spare,
And yet beside to all that hunger greved,
His gates were open, and they were there relived.”

Swearing no greater mischief could be wrought,
Than love united to a jealous thought.”
