Pleasure
and
profite
.
First
then
presuming
that
your
Lordship
is
both
of
your selfe
and
by
those
about
you
,
which
are
better
able
than
my
yoong
selfe
instructed
in
religion
,
and
the
true
feare
of
the
almightie
God
,
once
the
onely
maker
,
alwaies
the
sole
gouernour
of
the
heauens
,
the
earth
and
the
sea
,
who
must
be
the
head
,
the
foote
,
and
the
roote
,
the
beginning
,
fountaine
and
foundation
of
all
your
actions
:
much
more
of
these
your
dangerful
voyages
,
I
am
in
the
next
place
to
put
you
in
mind
,
that
as
archers
when
they
goe
abroad
,
choose
themselues
out
some
mark
,
(
and
commonly
it
is
the
whitest
&
fayrest
they
can
finde
)
whereat
they
aime
and
shoote
:
so
must
you
doe
,
now
you
go
abroad
into
the
world
,
you
are
to
propound
vnto
your selfe
,
two
,
the
fairest
,
and
gainfullest
marks
that
be
,
at
which
all
men
haue
shot
euer
since
the
beginning
of
the
world
:
they
are
not
pleasure
alone
as
most
,
&
the
worst
do
,
like
those
which
make
Garlandes
onely
for
shew
,
they
care
not
how
good
or
wholesome
the
flowers
are
,
so
they
be
goodly
and
faire
to
the
eye
.
So
they
care
not
how
litle
profit
they
haue
,
so
they
be
not
scanted
of
their
pleasure
,
whom
a
learned
and
valiant
Gentleman
in
your
Lordships
presence
&
my
hearing
compared
to
him
,
that
was
carried
faire
and
softly
abroad
in
a
cloake-bagge
,
and
returned
home
as
wise
as
he
went
out
.
But
you
(
most
noble
yong
Gentleman
)
must
take
a
farre
other
,
which
is
a
much
better
course
:
)
you
are
to
propound
to
your selfe
profite
rather
then
pleasure
.
For
this
is
had
better
at
home
,
wherfore
your
honor
should
not
need
to
hazard
your selfe
and
life
so
many
waies
abroad
if
pleasure
wer
your
chiefest
end
,
which
is
but
a
base
end
,
and
quickly
hath
an
end
,
for
what
more
short
,
and
vncertaine
then
pleasure
?
which
may
be
compared
(
me
thinkes
)
to
lightning
manie
waies
,
and
verie
fitly
,
lightning
proceedes
out
of
a
cloud
,
so
is
our
reason
darkned
,
and
obscured
with
a
cloud
(
as
it
wer
)
if
pleasure
once
take
place
,
lightning
is
neuer
without
some
thunder
,
no
more
arethey
without
their
troubles
and
vexations
,
who
haue
giuen
themselues
ouer
to
pleasure
.
Lightning
is
said
to
be
of
such
power
,
that
meeting
with
strong
and
firmly
vnited
thinges
it
melteth
,
or
breaketh
or
changeth
them
,
(
As
by
experience
hath
beene
seene
in
monie
,
which
hath
bene
molten
in
mens
purses
,
and
swordes
broken
in
their
scabbards
,
and
beare
turned
in
barrels
,
)
So
doth
pleasure
plant
most
commonly
her
ordinance
and
batterie
against
the
best
,
and
worthiest
men
.
Lightning
is
light
,
and
lite
,
faire
indeed
,
but
quickly
fading
,
so
is
pleasure
sweete
,
but
I
confesse
but
short
.
Lastly
(
not
to
be
long
)
lightning
falles
from
heauen
:
so
doth
pleasure
make
them
that
vse
it
,
wherefore
the
Prophet
Esay
,
he
saith
,
that
sathan
fell
from
heauen
,
like
lightning
,
as
I
told
you
that
it
is
short
,
so
I
said
it
is
a
bad
end
,
then
which
Architas
was
wont
to
say
that
God
in
giuing
it
gaue
the
greatest
plague
and
mischiefe
vnto
man
that
could
be
deuised
,
for
pleasure
makes
beast
,
and
man
all
one
.
Wherefore
(
my
verie
good
Lord
)
this
must
be
your
last
end
,
though
I
named
it
,
in
the
former
place
(
as
oft
times
the
worst
goes
first
.
)
To
stand
heere
to
dilate
how
your
Lordship
may
receiue
pleasure
by
trauailing
,
is
to
teach
your
eyes
to
see
,
and
your
ears
to
heare
a
thing
both
needlesse
,
and
foolishe
:
for
there
is
none
that
hath
his
sight
,
and
senses
but
must
needes
be
greatly
affected
,
and
maruellously
delighted
with
the
view
and
sight
of
so
many
faire
fields
,
goodly
riuers
,
high
hilles
,
great
cities
,
strange
countries
,
with
the
strange
varietie
and
sundrie
sortes
of
fashions
,
lawes
,
men
and
maners
.
Thus
pleasure
as
a
faire
wanton
standeth
in
euerie
corner
of
the
street
,
and
offereth
it selfe
to
all
that
passe
by
.
But
as
for
profite
(
as
euerie
best
thing
is
hardest
to
come
by
)
it
is
not
so
easily
attained
vnto
without
farther
directions
,
and
some
more
extraordinarie
conceite
and
labour
.
If
therefore
you
will
be
a
profitable
Trauailer
,
and
come
home
better
then
you
went
out
,
which
I
know
is
your
honorable
resolution
,
you
must
seeke
to
be
enriched
with
three
things
,
three
the
godliest
,
most
pretious
pearles
in
the
world
.
They
are
:
-
Wisedome
,
or
Pollicie
.
-
Knowledge
,
or
learning
.
-
Manners
,
or
behauiour
.
As
for
wisedome
,
Homer
(
the
wisest
in
my
fancie
,
not
only
of
all
Poets
,
but
of
all
heathen
men
)
he
(
I
say
)
affirmeth
that
it
is
had
,
and
increased
very
much
by
right
trauailing
,
who
giueth
euerie
where
no
other
,
or
no
greater
reason
of
the
great
Sapience
,
and
prudence
of
Vlisses
then
that
he
was
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
one
that
had
seen
much
,
as
himselfe
saith
in
the
verses
which
are
ineuery
ones
mouth
.
All
trauailers
do
gladlie
report
great
praise
of
Vlisses
,
"
For
that
he
knew
many
mens
maners
,
"
and
saw
many
cities
.
And
in
sooth
the
learned
Poet
saide
right
well
,
for
of
all
things
in
the
world
,
I
know
nothing
more
auaileable
to
the
attaining
of
true
wisedome
and
sound
discretion
,
then
the
sight
,
consideration
and
knowledge
,
of
sundry
rites
,
maners
,
pollycies
and
gouernments
,
especiallye
if
you
marke
them
diligentlie
,
compare
them
togither
perfectlie
,
and
applie
them
to
your
purpose
effectuallie
,
which
of
all
loues
I
desire
your
honour
to
do
.
It
is
enough
that
you
see
strange
ordinaunces
in
other
landes
,
but
you
must
see
into
them
,
and
marke
the
reason
and
grounde
of
them
.
Thinke
it
not
sufficient
to
seeke
into
forren
estates
and
customes
,
vnlesse
you
search
also
into
the
vse
and
abuse
of
them
.
Now
this
search
and
inquisition
I
speake
of
,
is
to
be
practised
either
by
reading
the
seueral
hystories
of
those
nations
where
you
are
to
trauell
,
(
for
euery
particular
countrie
hath
his
peculiar
storie
and
chronicle
)
where
you
shall
find
the
nature
,
manners
,
and
behauior
of
the
people
:
the
Citties
,
the
waies
,
and
the
commodities
of
the
countrey
set
downe
:
or
else
by
hearing
(
for
seeing
no
storie
,
as
no
lawe
can
comprise
euery
particular
thinge
)
therefore
to
attaine
to
a
more
exact
and
perfect
knowledge
,
it
shall
not
be
amisse
for
your
Lordship
,
to
talk
with
the
learned
of
the
lande
where
you
goe
.
For
albeit
wisedome
and
safetie
,
do
wishe
mee
to
counsell
you
to
silence
in
trauelling
:
yet
I
thinke
it
not
amisse
,
though
you
giue
the
rains
now
and
then
to
that
vnbrideled
member
,
the
toong
:
which
you
may
vse
as
occasion
shall
serue
,
both
on
the
way
by
sea
and
by
land
,
and
also
at
and
after
meales
(
according
to
that
laudable
custome
which
I
am
priuie
to
is
vsed
by
your selfe
,
and
the
vertuous
about
you
at
your
owne
table
.
)
And
might
I
haue
leaue
to
direct
you
also
(
because
I
haue
begun
to
be
bold
)
in
the
subiect
of
your
talke
,
in
mine
opinion
nothing
were
more
meet
for
one
of
your
honourable
estate
,
then
to
question
and
discourse
of
the
fashions
,
lawes
,
nobilitie
,
and
kind
of
warfare
of
the
people
where
you
trauell
,
as
did
the
great
Alexander
:
who
when
any
embassadors
resorted
to
kinge
Phillip
his
father
from
farre
countries
,
and
great
potentates
was
woont
to
demande
of
them
what
weapons
they
vsed
in
warre
:
what
lawes
in
peace
,
how
they
gouerned
their
Citties
,
but
especiallie
how
they
ordered
their
battels
.
Thus
if
you
imploie
your
time
in
trauell
,
and
applie
your selfe
to
imitate
the
worthiest
,
certainelie
you
shall
find
at
your
comming
home
,
that
you
haue
taken
great
profit
,
though
you
know
not
how
,
nor
when
.
As
the
clocke
goeth
and
we
discerne
it
not
:
as
man
groweth
and
we
marke
it
not
:
herbes
sprout
out
and
we
see
not
how
,
nor
when
:
so
dooth
a
mans
iudgement
,
wisedome
,
and
pollicie
grow
from
strength
to
strength
,
and
increase
woonderfullie
ere
wee
are
aware
,
onelie
let
vs
adde
now
a
little
,
and
then
a
little
.
And
of
the
first
fruit
and
effect
of
trauelling
whiche
was
named
wisedome
and
pollicie
thus
much
in
briefe
.
Now
for
the
seconde
,
your
Honour
maye
chance
to
wonder
,
to
heare
me
saye
,
that
learning
is
to
be
sought
for
abroad
in
this
great
varietie
of
learninge
and
learned
men
at
home
:
seeing
also
that
the
studentes
life
is
farre
different
from
the
trauellers
:
the
one
beeing
of
necessitie
in
continuall
motion
,
care
and
busines
,
the
other
naturallie
affecting
ease
,
safetie
,
and
quietnesse
:
both
whose
humors
,
and
conditions
the
Poet
who
had
tasted
of
both
,
expressed
liuely
in
two
verses
,
Carmina
secessum
scribentis
,
&
otia
quaerunt
,
Me
mare
,
me
venti
,
me
fera
iactat
hiems
.
The
students
life
seekes
ease
,
and
quietnesse
,
But
trauellers
state
,
hath
care
,
and
businesse
.
But
because
(
if
I
in
my
simplicitie
durst
presume
so
farre
)
I
would
be
,
yea
right
honourable
I
am
,
an
humble
sutor
to
your
honour
,
to
vouchsafe
me
some
place
vnder
your
lordship
,
in
this
praise-worthie
voyage
:
both
because
I
haue
alwaies
borne
a
feruent
zeale
to
your
honour
,
and
an
exceeding
longing
to
trauel
,
and
my
friends
will
neuer
giue
me
leaue
but
now
,
to
wait
vpon
your
Honor.
.
Therefore
leaste
in
this
request
(
which
if
I
might
obtaine
,
I
should
thinke
my
lims
,
my
life
,
and
libertie
,
to
little
to
spend
in
your
lordships
seruice
and
safety
)
least
I
say
,
you
might
crosse
my
sute
with
mine
own
sword
:
therefore
to
answer
my selfe
,
and
anye
that
may
obiect
against
schollers
and
students
,
that
it
is
not
fitting
for
them
to
trauell
:
wee
are
to
know
that
lerning
(
which
students
propound
to
themselues
,
as
seafaring
men
do
the
hauen
)
is
obtained
either
by
the
eare
,
or
by
the
eie
:
by
hearing
(
I
meane
)
or
by
reading
.
Now
although
(
God
be
thanked
)
our
own
countrey
is
replenished
with
as
manie
,
and
as
profound
learned
men
,
as
anie
region
in
christendome
besides
,
yet
there
is
no
man
but
will
graunt
that
heere
is
not
all
the
learning
in
the
worlde
.
No
no
,
the
Lord
God
in
his
great
,
and
wonderfull
prouidence
,
as
hee
hath
giuen
ech
countrey
his
commoditie
:
so
hath
he
placed
learned
men
in
euerie
part
of
the
world
,
as
starres
,
or
pretious
stones
,
of
whome
(
such
is
our
nature
especially
of
vs
English
)
that
,
as
we
admire
and
entertaine
strange
artificers
before
our
owne
,
so
wee
wonder
at
,
and
more
willingly
intreate
of
learning
with
the
learned
forrainer
,
then
with
our
own
natiue
countrey
man
:
which
though
it
be
not
generally
to
be
liked
)
yet
in
this
case
we
speake
of
,
trauelling
,
schollers
by
visiting
vniuersities
,
and
men
of
learning
,
maye
vse
this
no
good
inclination
to
a
good
end
.
Whoe
shall
not
returne
more
learned
from
talking
with
learned
Lypsius
?
a
man
maye
adde
to
his
wisdome
verie
much
,
by
conferring
with
the
wise
saith
the
wisest
of
men
.
The
eloquent
Murctus
will
make
a
man
much
more
retoricall
,
and
ciuil
in
speach
,
if
he
doo
but
once
discours
with
him
,
though
hee
intende
not
to
learne
of
him
then
euer
he
was
before
.
For
I
know
not
howe
,
but
sure
so
it
is
,
we
imitate
those
with
whom
in
talking
we
are
delighted
,
though
we
propound
no
such
thing
before
hand
:
euen
as
they
that
walke
in
the
sunne
only
for
their
recreation
,
yet
are
coloured
therewith
and
sun-burnt
:
or
rather
and
better
as
they
that
staieng
a
while
in
the
Apothecaries
shop
(
til
their
confections
be
made
)
carrie
away
the
smell
of
the
sweet
spices
euen
in
their
garmentes
.
To
talke
with
,
or
but
to
see
such
famous
men
,
would
reuiue
and
glad
me
greatlie
.
Now
if
your
Lordship
(
to
returne
)
shall
like
of
,
or
chance
to
light
into
the
familiaritie
of
these
worthy
men
(
as
it
is
very
easie
they
being
most
kind
,
and
as
courteous
as
learned
)
lorde
God
,
what
opportunitie
haue
you
to
inriche
your selfe
with
all
manner
of
excellent
and
exquisite
learning
.
Seeke
therefore
after
their
acquaintance
,
and
albeit
meet
it
is
your
honour
should
know
your
state
and
calling
,
yet
shame
not
,
no
nor
disdaine
not
,
to
intrude
your selfe
into
their
familiaritie
,
which
may
more
ennoble
you
.
Neuer
can
a
man
be
more
shamelesse
with
lesse
shame
,
then
in
coueting
to
be
with
them
,
that
may
better
him
.
Thus
was
Plato
,
Pythagoras
,
Democritus
,
&
the
rest
of
those
worthie
trauailers
affected
,
who
leauing
their
natiue
soile
,
Greece
,
(
the
fountain
,
and
foundation
of
learning
)
ranged
ouer
the
whole
world
,
and
were
not
ashamed
to
learne
of
the
worst
,
and
simplest
,
if
he
knew
anie
thing
whereof
they
were
ignorant
.
The
second
meanes
for
a
scholler
,
yoong
gentleman
,
or
anie
other
to
further
,
and
increase
his
learning
by
perigrination
,
or
trauailing
(
I
said
was
)
by
the
eyes
,
which
is
either
by
reading
those
bookes
beyond
the
sea
,
which
are
not
to
bee
had
for
anie
monie
on
this
side
,
or
by
being
an
eye
witnesse
of
the
verie
same
things
,
which
he
hath
red
in
bookes
,
or
hard
of
by
others
,
for
example
:
your
honor
is
for
Italie
,
that
Queene
of
countries
,
famous
for
the
wholesome
temperature
of
the
aire
,
for
the
great
plentie
of
all
the
gifts
of
God
,
for
the
great
ciuilitie
,
and
wisedome
of
the
people
(
albeit
nowe
somewhat
degenerated
with
ouer-much
effeminacie
)
renowmed
in
all
histories
,
both
old
and
newe
,
for
their
mightie
warres
,
waged
with
the
whole
world
,
for
their
martial
discipline
in
warre
,
and
polliticke
gouernement
in
peace
.
In
this
countrey
where
shall
you
set
your
feet
,
or
cast
your
eie
:
but
you
shall
haue
occasion
to
call
into
remembrance
,
that
which
is
set
downe
in
Liuie
,
Salust
,
Polibius
,
Plyny
,
Tacitus
,
Dion
,
and
Dionisius
,
in
whome
who
so
hath
read
heeretofore
sondrie
matters
of
worth
,
and
accidents
of
moment
(
wherof
they
are
full
)
and
shall
in
trauailing
see
before
hys
eies
the
trueth
of
their
discourses
,
and
the
demonstration
of
their
descriptions
:
in
trueth
if
he
be
not
rauished
with
delight
,
I
shall
take
him
but
for
some
stocke
,
or
stone
:
for
the
sight
of
the
thing
,
which
a
man
hath
heard
,
doth
set
such
a
grace
,
and
edge
to
the
same
,
seemeth
to
me
to
be
without
all
life
that
is
not
liuely
and
feelingly
assected
,
and
moued
therewith
.
Segnius
incitant
animos
demissa
per
aurem
,
Quam
quae
sunt
occulis
subiecta
fidelibus
.
The
things
we
heare
,
lesse
cause
the
mind
,
and
sences
to
arise
:
Then
do
the
thinges
that
presently
;
are
subiect
to
the
eyes
.
saith
the
Poet.
To
goe
no
farther
then
Italie
(
although
I
could
be
content
to
wade
in
writing
,
&
wander
by
trauell
farther
,
if
it
might
be
)
will
not
he
that
hath
read
of
the
great
ouerthrowe
of
the
Romaines
at
Thrasimenum
,
and
their
soule
discomfiture
at
Cannas
,
when
hee
shall
with
hys
owne
eyes
beholde
the
places
,
where
the
regentes
,
and
great
dominators
of
the
worlde
were
shamefully
foyled
,
will
hee
not
(
I
say
)
be
greatly
affected
with
a
certaine
compassion
?
on
the
other
side
wil
he
not
be
greatly
delighted
with
the
goodly
view
of
those
famous
,
&
delicious
places
of
Albania
,
Tibur
,
and
the
renowmed
Bathes
?
What
a
pleasure
will
it
be
to
see
the
house
,
where
Plinie
dwelt
,
the
countrey
wherein
the
famous
Virgill
,
or
the
renowmed
Ouid
was
borne
?
the
signes
,
and
monumentes
of
the
noble
conquerours
?
what
a
delightfull
sight
will
it
be
to
behold
so
manie
ancient
buildinges
?
so
manie
stately
Churches
:
so
manie
huge
Theators
:
so
manic
high
pillers
:
so
manie
sumptuous
sepulchres
?
Surely
I
knowe
not
howe
,
but
it
is
so
,
the
minde
of
man
beginnes
to
reuiue
,
and
lift
vp
his
selfe
aboue
it selfe
,
and
to
affect
and
meditate
on
excellent
,
and
noble
thinges
,
at
the
verie
sight
,
and
consideration
of
these
so
great
,
and
glorious
monumentes
of
antiquitie
:
neither
can
the
remembrance
of
the
valour
,
prowesse
,
and
vertue
of
former
men
and
ages
,
but
ingender
braue
and
worthie
thoughtes
,
in
euerie
gentle
heart
,
and
noble
bloud
.
Nowe
I
come
to
the
third
effect
,
and
vertue
of
trauel
,
which
consistes
in
learning
to
refine
our
maners
,
and
to
attaine
to
faire
conditions
,
and
behauiour
towardes
all
kinde
and
conditions
of
men
,
which
I
haue
left
for
the
last
place
,
because
I
would
haue
it
best
remembred
.
For
he
that
shall
trauell
and
not
haue
a
speciall
care
heereof
:
better
were
it
for
him
to
fit
dreaming
,
dunsing
,
and
drowping
at
home
.
What
is
learning
?
nay
what
shal
it
profit
a
man
to
be
wise
,
if
a
man
be
not
also
honest
,
vertuous
,
and
of
good
qualities
?
Wherefore
(
noble
Lord
Edward
)
thus
thinke
;
that
the
other
two
properties
of
trauailing
,
I
haue
recommended
to
you
as
things
praise
worthy
:
but
this
as
profitable
:
those
I
wish
you
to
embrace
as
ornamentes
to
your
honour
,
but
this
as
the
prop
,
and
piller
thereof
.
Wherefore
in
this
point
I
haue
thought
good
to
dwell
a
little
:
(
for
surely
the
care
,
and
feare
I
haue
of
you
,
maketh
me
not
to
thinke
muche
of
this
my
little
labour
.
)
In
my
direction
of
maners
,
I
would
haue
you
marke
two
things
,
that
you
auoid
the
ile
,
and
learne
the
good
.
It
is
out
of
question
,
that
in
trauell
you
shall
see
sundrie
and
strange
maners
,
with
varietie
,
elegancie
,
neate
,
and
goodly
behauiour
,
but
here
we
must
take
heed
least
hand
ouer
head
,
and
without
choise
wee
imitate
all
fashions
,
and
frame
our selues
to
al
fancies
,
rather
like
toying
apes
,
then
sober
men
.
Italie
(
I
graunt
)
and
France
,
will
teach
vs
fine
,
and
faire
cariage
of
our
body
,
good
,
&
discreet
deliuerie
of
our
minde
,
ciuill
,
and
modest
behauiour
to
others
,
but
yet
as
we
are
to
like
,
so
wee
are
not
straight
to
affect
euerie
countrey
fashion
:
wee
are
to
vse
them
seasonably
,
and
soberly
and
modestly
,
not
with
thrasonicall
,
and
presumptuous
ostentation
:
(
wherein
most
trauailers
fowly
ouershot
themselues
,
by
passing
the
bondes
of
decencie
,
and
mediocritie
.
)
For
as
many
countries
as
they
haue
trauailed
,
so
manie
gestures
shall
you
see
them
vse
,
as
plaiers
on
the
stage
,
which
perhaps
in
one
houre
chaunge
themselues
into
a
dosen
kindes
of
gestures
.
This
mimicall
,
and
miserable
affecting
(
as
in
all
things
els
it
is
grosse
,
and
absurd
)
so
in
the
carriage
of
the
body
,
it
is
most
vile
,
base
,
and
of
all
least
beseeming
a
noble
personage
:
wherefore
eschewe
it
(
good
my
Lord
)
and
especially
my
Lord
,
auoid
by
all
meanes
,
the
vicious
carriage
(
as
I
may
so
say
)
of
the
mind
,
the
rather
because
the
vices
of
the
minde
are
common
abroad
,
and
obuious
euerie
where
,
and
other
nations
haue
greater
facilitie
to
hide
their
vices
then
we
English
men
,
so
that
their
outward
shew
is
commonly
good
,
and
honest
,
but
inwardly
there
lurkes
all
kinde
of
vice
,
and
vitious
affections
(
for
the
moste
part
I
say
)
wherefore
the
more
prouident
ought
you
to
be
,
that
you
bee
not
beguiled
with
these
painted
Sepulchres
,
and
that
so
much
the
rather
,
because
our
nature
is
prone
to
imitate
outlandish
vices
,
either
because
they
are
strange
to
vs
,
and
delightfull
,
or
because
(
as
I
said
)
they
beguile
,
and
circumuent
vs
with
the
glose
,
and
goodly
shew
of
vertue
.
As
poison
giuen
in
the
sweetest
wine
,
pearceth
and
killeth
sooner
:
so
doth
vice
vnder
the
cloke
of
vertue
.
Againe
consider
(
I
pray
you
)
how
soone
,
and
how
easie
our
corrupt
nature
is
induced
to
sinne
.
As
painters
can
easilie
draw
any
mole
,
or
deformitie
in
the
face
but
cannot
so
soone
shadow
out
the
liuelie
portrature
and
sweet
lineaments
thereof
:
so
we
attaine
vnto
vertue
,
not
without
great
industrie
,
but
vnto
vice
we
need
no
schoolemaister
.
Wherefore
,
sweete
Earle
,
haue
diligent
care
in
this
behalfe
,
least
you
fall
into
the
naturall
faults
of
those
nations
where
you
trauell
.
For
euen
as
euery
man
,
so
euerie
nation
hath
his
proper
vice
,
as
for
example
.
The
Frenche
man
is
light
and
inconstante
in
speech
and
behauiour
.
The
Italian
hypocriticall
,
luxurious
,
and
(
which
is
worst
of
all
illes
)
ielous
.
The
Spaniard
is
imperious
,
proude
,
disdainful
,
pretending
more
then
euer
hee
intendeth
to
doo
.
The
Germaine
,
and
Netherlander
,
ambitious
,
gluttons
,
drunkerdes
,
and
alwaies
male
contents
.
These
their
vicious
conditions
(
because
they
are
naturall
vnto
them
)
they
commende
rather
then
condemne
in
themselues
;
and
for
sooth
that
they
may
go
more
currant
abroad
,
they
set
them
out
with
the
goodlie
titles
of
ciuilitie
,
amabilitie
,
grauitie
,
and
good
felloweship
:
but
beware
,
beware
of
them
,
the
greener
the
grasse
is
,
the
more
like
it
is
that
the
snake
lurks
there
.
And
thus
much
concerning
the
last
part
of
manners
:
onely
giue
me
leaue
to
say
a
worde
more
of
Italie
and
Venice
it selfe
,
(
whereto
your
Lordship
is
intended
)
for
I
knowe
not
how
the
sweet
guiles
of
loue
,
and
care
,
doo
fill
the
sailes
of
my
speech
,
and
thrust
my
pen
farther
iddeed
,
then
in
right
it
shoulde
.
Of
all
other
nations
our
owne
is
most
free
,
ingenious
and
open
,
and
in
this
vertue
(
for
so
it
is
)
your
Honour
seemeth
to
mee
to
excell
among
many
:
contrariwise
the
Italian
,
as
I
said
,
is
hypocritical
,
close
,
malitious
,
incroching
and
dead
lie
.
Wherefore
(
I
haue
thought
good
)
to
set
you
downe
the
nature
and
vices
both
of
the
men
,
and
the
women
:
with
the
meanes
how
to
vse
and
demeane
your selfe
towardes
them
for
your
owne
safetie
and
defence
;
and
yet
without
grudge
or
offence
to
them
.
The
men
,
as
are
inueigling
vnderminers
&
deep
dissemblers
,
whoe
when
they
haue
pried
into
your
nature
,
&
are
priuy
to
your
secrets
,
wil
straight
change
their
coppie
,
and
shew
themselues
in
their
coulors
:
against
these
dissemblers
I
know
no
other
,
or
at
least
no
better
buckler
,
then
to
dissemble
also
yourselfe
;
Fallere
fallentem
,
non
est
fraus
:
To
deceiue
a
deceiuer
,
is
no
deceit
.
Those
that
vndermine
a
towne
,
or
castle
wall
by
a
countermine
,
are
soone
destroied
.
Cresesto
,
cum
cretencibus
.
Heere
I
exhorty
ou
not
(
for
all
this
)
to
common
and
continuall
dissimulation
:
God
forbid
.
As
Physitions
for
the
safetie
of
their
patients
,
prescribe
them
poison
for
a
time
,
to
expell
poison
:
so
I
wish
you
to
frame
your
nature
a
little
and
for
a
time
,
to
lighte
and
small
dissimulation
.
In
al
the
way
of
your
trauell
,
especiallye
in
Italie
,
I
beseech
you
obserue
these
three
golden
rules
,
Sit.
Frons
aperta
,
Lingua
parca
,
Mens
clausa
.
Be
friendlie
to
al
,
familiar
to
a
few
,
and
speake
but
sildome
.
In
countenance
be
as
courteous
as
you
can
,
and
as
your
state
wil
beare
;
in
talk
as
affable
as
you
shall
see
cause
;
but
keepe
our
minde
secret
vnto
your selfe
,
till
you
come
to
those
,
whose
heartes
are
as
yours
.
Epicharmus
was
woont
to
say
,
that
the
sinew
and
marrow
of
wisedome
was
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
Nihil
credere
,
to
beleeue
nothing
.
And
this
which
I
haue
sayde
hath
beene
spoken
of
the
vulgar
and
popular
sort
,
not
of
the
best
and
noble
men
,
whome
I
know
are
simple
,
sincere
,
noble
,
louers
of
learning
,
and
of
braue
mindes
,
so
as
methinkes
,
I
may
say
,
that
in
the
one
remaine
the
sparkes
of
the
old
Latines
and
worthy
Romaines
,
in
the
other
the
feakes
and
reliques
of
the
sauadge
Gothes
and
vandals
.
Thus
haue
I
passed
by
the
first
rock
(
which
you
may
call
Scilla
,
with
the
Poets
)
God
grant
you
maye
with
as
great
safetie
faile
by
it
,
as
by
Gods
grace
and
good
gouernement
you
shall
.
The
other
is
behinde
,
and
that
is
a
quick-sand
or
bottomlesse
gulfe
,
(
you
may
tearme
it
as
others
haue
Carybdis
)
heere
what
shall
I
say
,
or
do
for
you
?
so
may
I
be
saued
as
I
heere
feare
your
safetie
:
vnlesse
God
&
good
counsell
doo
helpe
you
;
so
great
dread
haue
I
of
your
yoong
and
slipperie
age
,
and
so
ouer
sure
of
the
alluring
and
intrapping
natures
of
the
Venetian
and
Italian
Curtesanes
:
yet
Noble
Lord
,
take
of
me
these
two
precepts
:
that
you
refraine
your
Eyes
,
and
your
Eares
.
First
shut
your
eies
that
they
see
not
vanytie
,
next
your
eares
that
they
heare
not
follye
.
Loue
creepeth
in
at
the
windowes
of
the
eies
,
vt
vidi
,
vt
arsi
?
saith
the
Poet
:
I
sawe
,
and
I
sighed
.
Faemina
vrit
videndo
,
Loues
dwelling
is
in
Ladies
eies
,
from
whense
he
shootes
his
daintie
darts
into
the
lustie
gallants
hartes
,
saith
one
,
therefore
as
Iudges
among
the
Athenians
were
woont
to
be
blindfolde
that
they
should
not
haue
any
respect
of
persons
:
so
should
they
that
wil
not
be
taken
by
that
blind
boy
Cupid
.
As
your
eies
,
so
muste
your
eares
bee
also
chast
,
and
fortified
against
all
not
only
lecherous
,
but
lasciuious
talke
.
For
loue
talke
breedeth
loue
,
as
talke
of
learning
,
and
talk
of
couragious
exploits
,
volor
,
and
courage
.
As
therefore
in
old
time
,
those
that
fought
at
barriers
had
couers
,
and
defences
for
their
eares
,
to
saue
them
harmlesse
,
so
the
best
safegard
against
these
loue
,
but
scarse
louely
woundes
is
:
Amatorium
nihil
audire
.
To
hearken
to
no
talke
of
loue
,
Thus
farre
I
haue
enlarged
of
the
people
of
both
sexes
.
(
I
hope
it
shal
not
be
anie
preiudice
to
me
,
seing
I
haue
said
nothing
in
splene
,
malice
,
or
disdaine
)
now
I
will
adde
a
word
,
or
two
of
the
places
themselues
,
which
you
are
,
or
may
passe
through
and
visite
at
your
pleasure
,
which
are
verie
goodly
,
and
delightfull
to
see
,
in
so
muche
as
you
may
iustly
doubt
whether
to
see
first
.
But
in
my
iudgments
(
and
I
haue
seene
them
all
)
you
were
best
to
trauell
first
to
Naples
,
which
is
so
pleasantly
seated
:
Next
,
to
the
faire
cittie
of
Seane
:
after
that
to
Florence
,
the
verie
flower
(
as
I
may
say
)
of
all
fine
Cities
.
Bononia
and
Pauia
,
the
two
nurses
of
Sciences
,
and
liberall
arts
,
may
be
visited
in
the
way
,
where
when
you
haue
staied
a
while
,
refreshed
your selfe
,
and
vewed
the
cities
,
(
to
omit
other
delightfull
occurrents
by
the
way
)
you
shall
at
length
come
to
your

Venice
,
the
Ladie
of
the
sea
,
that
faire
,
great
,
riche
,
and
fortunate
Cittie
:
that
Cittie
which
of
all
the
cities
in
the
world
hath
lasted
and
florished
longest
:
that
cittie
that
hath
held
play
(
I
was
about
to
say
)
held
vnder
(
in
part
it
hath
so
done
)
the
cruell
and
powerfull
Turkish
Emperour
:
that
cittie
whose
scituation
is
most
admirable
,
whose
pollicie
,
and
gouernement
in
peace
most
wise
,
and
free
:
whose
wars
by
sea
and
land
haue
been
infinite
,
and
alwais

the
Forte

Christendome

&
the

For
as
in
olde
time
,
Alexandria
was
called
the
golden
cittie
:
Antiochia
the
bewtifull
,
Nichomedia
the
very
bewtifull
,
Athens
the
most
glorious
,
and
breuiarie
of
the
world
:
So
in
Italy
of
late
Roome
is
dubbed
the
great
,
Florence
the
faire
:
Naples
is
called
the
Noble
,
and
Venice
is
christened
the
rich
Citie
.
In
your
returne
home
,
if
you
turne
aside
to
that
huge
,
and
populous
the
cittie
of
Millaine
,
your
time
shall
not
be
ill
spent
:
nor
your
labor
lost
,
with
which
(
being
the
end
)
of
Italie
,
I
will
end
this
my
free
,
and
tedious
discourse
:
desiring
the
Lord
God
of
his
great
mercy
,
and
infinite
goodnesse
,
to
blesse
,
and
preserue
your
honourable
Lordship
,
in
your
going
out
:
in
the
way
:
and
in
your
comming
home
.
The
Lord
,
which
led
the
people
of
Israell
through
the
red
sea
as
through
drie
land
,
and
preserued
Ionas
in
the
Whales
bellie
,
the
lord
that
walked
on
the
sea
before
his
disciples
as
on
the
earth
,
and
commanded
the
windes
to
cease
:
the
Lorde
which
preserued
Paule
and
his
companie
,
when
the
sea
wrought
and
was
sorelie
troubled
.
The
same
God
(
whose
arme
is
not
shortened
)
keepe
your
worthy
lordship
and
your
godlie
company
,
as
in
his
armes
that
you
take
no
harme
by
sea
,
not
hurt
by
lande
.
Lenuoye
.
Many
countries
it
is
good
to

So
that
we
keepe
our
honestie
.
