Les riches heures; contes et nouvelles au temps de Jehanne d'Arc et de Loys XI, by Marcelle Michelin.

"Riches beget pride; pride, impatience.

"Riches fineless" belong to these deep, soft fields, and they become picturesque by the thought, as the sea becomes so by the passing of a ship, and the burning desert by the foot-print of a traveller or the ashes of his fire.

As power produces power, riches wealth, so does cold produce cold.

O! who can lead then a more happie life Than he, that with cleane minde and heart sincere, No greedy riches knowes nor bloudie strife, No deadly fight of warlick fleete doth feare, Ne runs in perill of foes cruell knife, 125 That in the sacred temples he may reare A trophee of his glittering spoyles and treasure, Or may abound in riches above measure.
