Momenta desultoria

Constantijn Huygens

XLVII. IF thou desire to purchase Honor with thy wealth; consider first how that wealth became thine: If thy labour got it, let thy Wisedome keepe it: If oppression found it, let Repentance restore it: If thy Parents left it, let thy vertues deserve it: So shall thy Honor be safer, better, and cheaper.
