First Epigram: Upon Being Contented with a Little

1 We deem them moderate, but Enough implore, 
2 What barely will suffice, and ask no more: 
3 Who say, (O Jove) a competency give, 
4 Neither in Luxury, or Want we'd live.
5 But what is that, which these Enough do call? 
6 If both theIndies unto some should fall, 
7 Such Wealth would yet Enough but onely be, 
8 And what they'd term not Want, or Luxury. 
9 Among the Suits, O Jove, my humbler take; 
10 A little give, I that Enough will make.
