Some Have Too Much, Yet Still Do Crave; I Little Have, And Seek No More

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 (c. 1540-1607)
-- MS. Rawl. 85. p. 17
