Themista

bemoanes
their

estate

She
adviseth
for
their
recovery

findes
the
height
of
their
distemper

to
exceede

She
resolves
to

PROSE
I.
NO
sooner
had
Themista
felt
the
pulse
of
her
diseased
Statists
,
than
she
perceived
their
distemper
to
be
of
that
nature
,
as
being
a
desperate
Soare
,
i●…
required
a
desperate
Cure
.
Some
of
their
pulses
beat
faintly
;
as
if
Nature
were
spent
in
them
,
&
their
wasted
Lamps
neare
the
snuffe
.
Others
cleare
of
an
other
temper
,
for
they
beat
so
violently
,
as
it
might
bee
easily
gathered
,
that
their
enraged
humour
rather
laboured
of
fury
and
frenzy
,
than
any
other
indisposed
quality
.
Diversly
found
she
her
languishing
Senate
affected
;
but
none
of
them
rightly
tempered
;
which
drove
her
into
these
and
such
like
perplexed
resolves
.
Where
(
said
she
)
shall
we
turne
us
,
and
see
not
some
heavy
Object
or
other
to
afflict
us
?
Every
where
doe
we
see
a
distempred
State
;
every
where
a
growinggroaning
malady
.
And
what
way
may
wee
cast
for
their
recovery
?
Hee
that
visiting
his
friend
,
findes
him
sicke
,
and
will
not
minister
unto
him
;
heavy
,
and
will
not
comfort
him
;
needy
,
and
will
not
relieve
him
;
such
an
one
may
be
rather
said
to
mocke
him
than
bemoane
him
,
scoffe
him
than
cheere
him
,
scorne
him
than
succour
him
.
But
alas
!
we
feare
much
that
the
nature
of
their
disease
far
exceeds
the
measure
of
our
art
.
Maladies
of
this
quality
require
an
experienc'd
hand
to
afford
them
remedy
.
And
so
tenderly
affected
are
wee
to
their
persons
,
as
wee
shall
not
have
the
heart
to
search
their
wounds
,
as
a
pittilesse
Artist
should
doe
:
for
these
griefes
cannot
be
cured
,
unlesse
they
be
to
the
bottome
searched
.
Meane
time
,
how
worthily
may
wee
bemoane
this
distracted
Estate
;
when
those
who
should
be
the
Guardidians
of
the
Republique
,
are
so
besotted
and
benummed
;
or
otherwise
with
some
exorbitant
passion
so
transported
,
as
they
,
who
should
guard
the
publique
State
,
cannot
guide
their
own
persons
:
but
like
children
,
goe
by
holds
,
to
keepe
themselves
from
fals
?
Where
may
the
wronged
finde
redresse
,
when
hee
that
doth
the
wrong
,
is
exempted
from
censure
;
either
by
Corruption
,
which
seales
up
the
mouth
of
Justice
:
or
Ignorance
,
which
knowes
not
how
to
distinguish
of
the
quality
of
an
offence
?
Happy
were
those
dayes
wherein
Ba●…il
the
Emperour
of
Constantinople
lived
:
for
so
peacefull
was
his
State
in
the
gracious
progresse
of
his
time
,
that
whensoever
hee
came
to
his
Iudgement-Seat
,
hee
neither
found
Party
to
accuse
,
nor
Defendant
to
answer
.
But
we
,
to
live
both
in
these
factious
&
unpeaceable
times
;
and
to
bee
distitu●…e
of
such
as
should
censure
these
crimes
,
where
connivence
gives
impunity
to
impiety
,
and
greatnesse
becomes
a
Subterfuge
to
guiltinesse
;
who
can
justly
blame
us
,
to
vye
in
teares
with
the
Errours
of
the
time
;
and
bemoane
that
State
with
a
compassionate
pitty
;
which
we
cannot
by
our
own
Endevours
remedy
!
Now
,
should
we
leave
them
to
théselves
,
how
should
they
possibly
cure
their
owne
Soares
,
who
are
insensible
of
their
effects
?
True
it
is
;
that
as
the
Scorpion
hath
in
her
the
remedy
of
her
owne
poyson
;
so
the
Evill
man
carrieth
alwayes
with
him
the
punishment
of
his
owne
wickednesse
:
which
never
leaves
to
torment
and
affli●…t
his
minde
,
both
sle●…ping
and
waking
;
as
it
fared
with
Apollodorus
,
Hipparchus
,
Pausanias
and
many
others
;
who
were
so
conscious
of
their
owne
enormities
,
as
they
were
ever
in
pursuit
by
their
owne
Furies
.
But
what
of
all
this
?
Neither
personall
shame
,
nor
apprehension
of
their
owne
guilt
,
nor
any
other
subsequent
effect
,
could
afford
to
the
publique
State
,
a
soveraigne
Cure
;
till
these
vicious
ones
were
weeded
,
vertuous
ones
elected
,
and
the
whole
forme
or
modell
of
the
State
changed
.
O
my
perplexed
Spirit
,
how
justly
may
wee
take
up
the
complaint
of
our
divinely-morall
Seneca
!
who
writing
to
his
friend
Lucilius
,
discovered
the
face
of
a
corrupted
State
in
this
sort
:
Our
newes
from
Rome
are
these
;
the
walls
of
Rome
are
ruined
;
the
Temples
not
visited
;
the
Priests
fled
;
the
Treasure
robbed
;
old
men
are
dead
;
young
men
are
mad
;
and
vices
are
Lords
over
all
.
O
my
good
friend
Luciliu●…
,
if
these
things
seeme
great
faults
,
there
be
greater
yet
than
these
in
Rome
:
and
they
are
,
that
no
man
will
confesse
himselfe
culpable
of
any
of
these
things
:
but
the
Dictator
layeth
fault
upon
the
Consul
;
the
Consul
upon
the
Censor
;
the
Censor
upon
the
Pretor
;
the
Pretor
upon
the
Aedile
;
and
the
Aedile
upon
the
Questor
:
in
so
much
as
;
because
no
man
will
confesse
his
fault
,
we
have
no
hope
of
amendment
.
But
fruitlesse
are
these
complaints
;
our
griefes
require
a
speedy
hand
,
and
a
resolved
heart
;
de●…terity
in
the
one
,
and
constancy
in
the
other
;
speedy
in
applying
,
and
happy
in
performing
.
Wee
shall
doe
well
then
in
resolving
to
send
our
Servant
Euphorbus
for
Aesculapius
;
by
whose
incomparable
skill
,
not
onely
means
may
be
made
for
their
recovery
;
but
directions
had
for
preventing
their
relapse
into
the
like
infirmity
.
Haste
then
with
winged
speed
,
Eup●…orbus
,
to
that
prime
Artist
of
Physicke
;
present
our
Loue
unto
him
;
the
desire
we
have
to
see
him
;
how
much
we
relye
on
him
;
the
necessity
of
his
repair
:
which
shall
individually
tye
us
to
him
.

Argument

Aesculapius
offers
his
best
service
to
Themista
;
She
discovers
unto
him
the
cause
of
her
griefe
;
Shee
remembers
the
endeared
name
of
her
Parthenius
;
His
Poeme
;
the
many
vertues
which
did
enrich
him
:
She
intreats
Aesculapius
his
best
succour
;
and
hee
promiseth
his
best
art
and
assistance
unto
her
.
PROSE
II.
NO
sooner
had
Euphorbus
delivered
his
Ladies
Message
to
Aesculapius
,
who
was
then
engaged
in
sundry
Cures
of
great
difficulty
,
by
meanes
of
Priapus
and
his
dissolute
followers
,
(
who
had
brought
a
dangerous
d●…ease
into
that
Province
where
he
resided
:
)
then
pre●…ently
,
this
divine
Artist
repaired
to
Themista
,
offering
to
her
his
best
service
;
which
was
accepted
by
her
with
much
thankfull
entertainement
and
affectionate
solace
.
And
sitting
together
in
a
delightfull
Arbour
,
without
more
delay
,
She
discovered
the
cause
of
her
griefe
unto
him
,
in
this
manner
.
Renowned
Sir
,
to
impart
unto
you
,
the
grounds
of
our
griefe
in
every
particular
,
would
require
an
ample
volume
of
Iliads
:
Neither
would
time
suffice
,
nor
your
numerous
imployments
admit
,
any
such
copious
relations
.
In
one
word
,
if
miserably-perplexed
Hecuba
,
whose
fortune
in
her
time
had
no
paralell
,
expressed
such
discon●…olate
effects
in
the
sad
ashes
of
her
ruin'd
Troy
,
and
her
slaughterd
Children
;
We
are
sure
the
sorrowfull
Scene
of
our
Tragicke
mishaps
,
may
deserve
some
Annals
to
memotize
them
,
lest
continuance
of
time
might
burie
in
oblivion
,
the
heavy
issue
of
such
dolefull
occurrents
.
Wee
well
remember
,
how
Polo
the
tragedian
,
acting
the
part
of
Electra
upon
the
Stage
;
and
being
mournefully
to
bring
in
the
bones
of
her
brother
Orestes
in
a
pot
,
hee
brought
in
the
bones
of
his
owne
Sonne
lately
buried
,
that
the
sight
of
them
might
wring
forth
true
tears
indeed
;
and
by
their
passionate
presentment
of
them
,
act
it
more
feelingly
:
for
obj●…cts
of
Ocular
passion
cannot
chuse
but
worke
in
the
actors
person
.
The
same
part
may
wee
be
truely
said
to
personate
:
Nor
may
we
possibly
so
display
them
to
life
,
whom
wee
a●…e
here
to
present
,
as
our
afflicted
brest
conceives
:
so
that
,
as
Pictures
receive
their
life
from
shadowes
,
so
are
you
Aesculapius
to
conceive
them
shadowed
,
when
our
tongue
cannot
reach
so
high
as
to
have
them
fully
expressed
.
For
murdering
wounds
doe
ever
lose
their
tongue
;
"
Small
griefes
do
speake
,
when
greater
griefes
are
dombe
.
But
you
will
say
,
true
passion
admits
no
Rhetoricall
introduction
;
't
is
true
;
yet
fares
it
with
us
in
this
discovery
of
our
fresh-bleeding
woes
,
as
it
doth
with
such
,
on
whom
the
judgement
of
death
being
now
pronounced
,
and
now
come
to
that
fatall
place
,
where
they
are
to
satisfie
the
Law
,
and
disburden
their
conscious
souls
of
many
secret
facts
,
which
till
then
,
never
came
to
light
,
nor
admitted
a
discovery
:
many
trifling
delayes
will
they
pretend
,
purposely
to
protract
time
,
and
enjoy
the
sweet
society
of
an
expiring
life
:
But
omitting
these
,
wee
will
now
descend
to
a
free
delivery
of
these
our
captiv'd
and
restrained
griefes
:
in
discovery
whereof
,
pardon
our
effeminacy
,
if
we
drop
some
teares
,
to
ease
the
surcharged
relapse
,
of
our
afflicted
heart
.
Know
(
quoth
she
)
thou
divine
Artist
,
that
we
were
sometimes
styled
the
Soveraignesse
of
justice
;
and
in
person
,
intended
our
care
to
the
execution
of
it
.
During
which
time
,
our
imparalel'd
State
flourished
,
Lawes
were
duely
administred
,
good
men
were
rewarded
,
the
evill
justly
punished
;
the
State
of
●…ustice
so
equally
poized
,
as
Saturns
age
seem'd
to
be
revived
.
Having
thus
planted
our
State
,
we
held
our selves
se
:
cure
:
but
too
much
security
gives
vice
opportunity
to
make
her
entry
:
for
no
sooner
were
wee
removed
(
recommending
our
government
to
such
,
whose
fidelity
we
held
so
inviolably
firme
unto
us
,
as
nothing
could
divide
them
from
us
:
)
then
that
blessed
State
,
where
before
never
corruption
raigned
,
no
Oily
nor
Sycophant
tongue
ever
pleaded
,
no
malady
nor
distemper
raged
;
became
universally
diseased
.
Not
one
sound
Member
left
uninfected
.
Sundry
vicious
and
malignant
humours
distilled
from
the
head
to
the
body
:
which
so
distempered
the
whole
State
,
as
nothing
could
bee
more
●…eared
than
an
Epidemicall
contagion
.
To
give
some
wofull
instances
herein
,
that
my
griefe
may
appeare
reall
without
dissembling
;
truely
passionate
without
faigning
:
what
a
number
of
Conscript-fathers
lye
now
desperately
languishing
;
&
what
small
hope
have
we
of
their
recovering
?
Sicke
,
&
heart
sicke
they
are
;
yet
like
Children
,
rather
would
they
have
their
Soares
to
rankle
,
corrupt
,
and
putrifie
,
than
have
their
wounds
search'd
,
and
so
finde
remedy
.
One
wee
had
(
and
onely
one
)
who
was
sound
at
heart
,
whose
name
(
and
blest
be
the
memoriall
of
so
untainted
a
name
)
was
Parthenius
:
to
them
onely
odious
,
who
Exil'd
!
sterne
State
,
what
was
the
cause
?
Corruption
,
or
neglect
of
lawes
?
For
th'
first
,
I
may
be
bold
to
sweare
,
I
had
least
share
in
all
the
shere
.
Ten
yeares
&
more
I
serv'd
the
State
;
Yet
all
that
time
I
nothing
gat
:
And
for
the
last
,
I
never
slept
,
While
other
Birds
the
Capitol
kept

Speake
Pig
,
Lamb
,

If

I
wrong'd

Or
made
it
Errours
Rendevous

Or
ever
minc'd

Or

To

,
to
take

Bribe
;
Or
sought
a

to

Or

If
any

I

But
trust
me

,
while
I
complain

My

:
Now
may
I
freely
walke
at

,
And
ne're
be

And
view
what

The

Nor
was

more
pregnant

in

supply

all
vertues

for
all
that
knew
him
,
will
give
this
testimony
of
him
,
that
his
constancy
in
opposing
strong
delinquents
,
did
exile

For
like

he
stood
stoutly
against
all

or
like
a

cooling
Spring
in
a

,
refreshed
both
himselfe

in
their

Or
like

Such

forth

those
were
rare
,
as
Soranus

Phocion

Themista

Parthenius

;
wishing
him
some
rayes
of
comfort
amidst
those
clowds
of

How
meditation

is
a

any

What

Then
wisedome

honesty
and

?
Which
in
Parthenius
were
compil'd
,
The
onely
cause
hee
was
exil'd
.
Had
he
plaid
Buffoun
,
Fawn
or
knave
To
Pandor
,
flatter
or
deceive
,
He
had
far
more
respected
bin
,
Nor
felt
those
perils
he
is
in
:
For
he
by
soothing
great
mens
crimes
Had
beene
a
Minion
for
these
times
.
But
he
still
scornd
such
base
extreams
To
gather
wealth
,
by
servile
means
:
He
rather
did
the
Gods
beseech
Pure
to
live
poor
than
basely

.
Well

,
though
thou
an

Thou

But

For

Argument

Aesculapius
delivers
his
opinion
touching
his
Patients
;
their
wounds
must
be
discovered
,
before
they
be
cured
;
Hee
enjoynes
them
one
by
one
to
shew
unto
him
how
they
are
handled
,
that
receits
to
the
quality
or
distemper
of
the
Patient
may
be
seasonably
ministred
.
PROSE
III.
THis
exquisite
Artist
Aesculapius
,
having
duely
observed
their
distinct
humours
,
passions
,
symptoms
and
dispositions
;
freely
in
this
manner
delivered
his
opinion
,
touching
his
Patients
.
It
is
easie
(
said
he
)
to
collect
by
the
outward
Physnomy
,
that
there
is
an
inherent
Malady
:
but
there
is
some
difficulty
in
discovering
,
the
true
nature
or
effects
of
that
infirmity
,
by
any
conjecture
derived
externally
.
Wee
of
our
profession
receive
especiall
notions
by
the
Patients
urine
,
and
by
other
practick
meanes
,
whereof
our
experienc't
Artists
make
singular
use
:
yet
may
we
erre
in
these
,
be
our
judgements
never
so
cleare
;
because
the
Water
doth
not
ever
discover
the
quality
of
the
humour
:
yea
,
I
my selfe
have
heard
of
one
within
these
few
years
,
who
was
esteemed
an
Eminent
Professor
in
our
art
,
and
of
excellent
judgement
in
waters
,
to
have
returned
his
opinion
,
that
such
a
water
as
was
brought
unto
him
,
(
rather
indeed
to
try
him
,
than
any
necessity
they
had
to
employ
him
)
was
the
water
of
one
who
was
deepely
fallen
into
a
Consumption
,
yet
was
it
the
Stale
of
a
fat
Palfrey
,
as
appear'd
afterwards
upon
discovery
.
I
hold
it
then
very
needfull
in
the
whole
course
of
our
Practice
(
if
the
Patient
be
not
altogether
insensible
of
his
owne
griefe
,
by
reason
of
the
height
or
extension
of
his
Malady
,
or
incapably
of
any
such
discovery
in
respect
of
his
infancy
)
that
he
freely
disclose
the
nature
or
condition
of
his
owne
griefe
:
by
shewing
in
every
particular
how
he
is
handled
;
at
what
times
most
distemperd
;
how
in
his
Siedge
,
how
in
his
stomacke
affected
:
all
which
are
ever
by
the
Patient
himselfe
best
discovered
,
and
upon
his
relation
,
by
Physicall
directions
best
attempered
.
My
Conclusion
then
shall
be
this
;
forasmuch
as
no
wound
can
be
possibly
cured
,
unlesse
it
be
first
discovered
;
nor
salued
,
unlesse
to
the
bottome
searched
:
I
hold
it
not
onely
fi●…
,
but
necessarily
consequent
,
that
one
after
another
hee
brought
forth
in
a
Chaire
,
and
before
they
receive
their
meanes
of
Cure
,
disclo●…e
truely
how
they
feele
themselves
handled
▪
that
a
receit
to
the
quality
of
the
disease
might
be
seasonably
ministred
.
Whereto
,
after
Themista
had
condescended
,
her
distemper'd
Statists
were
brought
forth
one
after
another
,
according
to
their
degree
and
order
;
whom
Aesculapius
his
Boy
comforted
with
a
musicall
measure
after
this
manner
.

Sirs

Of

Who

Hath
done
as

When
Nonius
that

Did
of

Strume
complaine
,
He
cur'd
th'

quite
By
opening
of

Demosthenes
was
hoarse
And
could
not
raise

Yet

An

Stesichorus

Was

The

Through
Helena's

,
My

them
restor'd
And

With
Helleborian

As

That

His

Was
by
his

With

But
fiercer

Lime-twigs

His

Yet

applide
,
As

him

:
Thus
hath
his

With

Take

PROSE
I.
WHen
the
Learned
Aesculapius
had
heard
this
free
delivery
of
their
infirmities
;
turning
to
Themista
,
Madam
(
said
hee
)
I
never
found
more
different
distempers
in
any
State
.
Through
most
parts
of
the
whole
World
have
I
travailed
,
and
in
my
travaile
practised
either
in
my
owne
person
or
by
mine
Agents
.
Where
in
my
Survey
of
this
Vniverse
,
and
the
exercise
of
my
Profession
,
I
encountred
with
divers
Maladies
,
which
had
made
Fooles
of
the
best
Physitians
:
yet
with
Cures
of
more
difficulty
than
these
,
have
I
seldome
grappled
.
Personally
stood
I
engaged
for
the
service
of
Athens
,
when
that
great
Plague
so
universally
raged
,
as
there
sufficed
not
among
the
living
to
burie
the
dead
.
Even
then
,
I
say
,
when
that
flourishing
Treopagus
,
where
those
jud●…cious
Senators
(
surnamed
Areopagites
)
exercised
judgement
was
not
onely
left
desolately
unfrequented
,
but
the
very
Seates
of
Iustice
were
with
brambles
over-shadowed
;
the
publique
Market
place
where
such
Confluence
of
people
from
all
Coasts
and
Countries
resorted
,
with
grasse
covered
;
those
sumptuous
buildings
,
wherein
A●…t
seem'd
to
contend
with
her selfe
,
utterly
re●…inquished
;
and
those
glorious
Temples
of
the
gods
,
by
rea●…on
of
shady
Coverts
so
obscured
,
as
their
magnificence
could
not
be
discerned
.
When
(
I
say
)
nothing
but
an
universall
desolation
had
seaz'd
on
that
disconsolate
City
,
so
as
her
very
enemies
,
who
sometimes
maligned
her
happinesse
,
now
melted
into
teares
to
see
her
glory
so
eclipsed
,
and
to
misery
reduced
.
Even
then
did
I
happily
arrive
at
Pylae
,
and
by
my
art
so
purified
the
ayre
(
which
was
then
so
infected
,
as
the
very
Birds
fell
downe
dead
with
corruption
of
it
)
as
in
very
short
time
,
the
City
recovered
,
the
Senators
returned
,
the
Citizens
re-inhabited
their
relinquished
Mansions
.
The
like
service
I
did
to
the
flourishing
State
of
Sparta
,
where
they
erected
a
Temple
to
mine
honour
;
and
retaine
to
this
day
the
memory
of
me
in
a
sumptuous
Statue
,
which
they
reared
for
me
.
Bizantium
will
acknowledge
the
like
courtesie
;
and
so
will
all
States
,
who
have
at
any
time
beene
surprized
with
any
raging
malady
.
But
this
I
doe
not
speake
of
to
set
my selfe
at
Sale
,
or
like
our
Mercenary
Mountebanke
,
to
erect
a
Stage
for
discovery
of
my
Cures
;
and
by
a
Comick
Enterlude
with
a
servile
Buffoun
,
foole
my
selfe
into
popular
esteeme
:
or
set
up
in
some
frequented
place
,
a
fictitious
Catalogue
of
my
incredible
Cures
;
Or
hang
up
my
Picture
,
to
enforce
a
deeper
impression
in
the
taking
eye
of
the
vulgar
;
Or
with
sophisticated
oyles
,
delude
the
sight
of
a
bleere-ey'd
Spectator
.
No
;
I
doe
value
more
the
honour
of
my
Profession
,
than
to
set
it
at
so
low
a
rate
as
to
begge
estimation
:
or
by
sordid
means
s●…rue
my selfe
into
opinion
.
True
worth
can
never
admit
of
Ostentation
.
It
shall
be
my
glory
to
afford
my
best
art
to
others
necessity
;
wherein
their
health
shall
be
my
highest
gaine
,
their
recovery
my
wished
goale
.
And
to
you
,
Madam
,
doe
I
speake
it
,
who●…e
vertuous
fame
●…hall
ever
endeere
mee
to
your
memory
(
nor
was
I
ever
conscious
of
flattery
)
that
my
Practise
hereupon
these
your
distempered
Statists
shall
manifest
to
the
world
,
that
effects
give
the
best
approvement
to
all
Professions
.
But
delay
ministers
fuell
to
a
growing
disease
;
this
Preamble
,
Madam
,
was
but
to
acquaint
you
with
the
method
of
our
Profession
,
who
must
aggravate
the
difficulty
of
their
Cure
,
to
procure
them
the
more
credit
.
Whereat
,
Themista
smiling
,
replied
;
Renowned
Sir
,
Leave
that
Method
to
such
novice
Artists
,
who
stand
in
need
of
a
publique
Cryer
of
their
Cures
;
for
your selfe
,
we
dare
avouch
,
that
so
much
are
you
indebted
to
fame
,
or
shee
rather
indeered
to
you
,
that
you
cannot
be
more
highly
possest
of
opinion
than
you
are
.
That
fame
of
Pergamus
,
your
Scholler
Galen
,
hath
disperst
your
glory
by
the
excellency
of
his
art
.
That
joynt
name
of
Sixe
renowned
Physitians
,
Hippocrates
hath
with
no
lesse
repute
advanced
you
.
That
surviving
glory
of
Anazarba
,
Dioscorides
,
whom
the
familiarity
showne
him
by
those
princely
but
unhappy
Amorists
,
Marke
Antony
,
and
Cleopatra
,
so
highly
raised
;
hath
with
no
lesse
art
improved
your
fame
.
The
universall
opinion
which
all
Nations
retaine
of
you
,
may
be
probably
gathered
,
by
those
many
Temples
erected
to
your
Honour
,
and
entitled
by
your
owne
Name
,
the
more
to
dilate
your
honour
.
What
Statues
have
beene
reared
,
what
Shrines
erected
for
you
?
and
how
severely
have
punishments
beene
inflicted
on
such
as
have
either
detractively
inveyed
against
you
,
or
sacrilegiously
dishonoured
you
?
Which
might
be
instanced
in
the
misfortunes
of
Dionysius
;
who
,
though
he
made
a
jeast
of
Sacriledge
,
and
gave
easie
reines
to
all
prophanenesse
,
yet
his
exile
from
the
flowry
boundiers
of
his
Empire
,
rewarded
him
for
his
impious
designes
towards
the
Gods
:
amongst
which
,
for
the
dishonour
hee
did
unto
you
,
Aesculapius
,
in
cutting
off
your
beard
,
and
clozing
up
his
Sacriledge
with
a
jeere
,
saying
,
it
was
unfit
,
for
you
the
Sonne
to
have
a
beard
,
and
your
Father
Apollo
to
have
none
.
It
is
true
,
Lady
,
(
answered
Aesculapius
)
just
was
the
censure
inflicted
on
Dionysius
;
but
undeserved
was
his
impiety
towards
mee
,
for
those
many
favours
which
his
Countrey
had
received
from
me
.
Howsoever
,
you
shall
know
(
Madame
)
that
I
was
never
ambitious
after
fame
;
which
,
for
the
most
part
,
is
soonest
procured
,
when
it
is
least
desired
:
for
where
vertue
is
the
sole
ground
of
our
actions
,
it
ever
drawes
to
her
some
discerning
Spectators
to
crown
them
with
a
deserving
applause
.
Ever
to
doe
good
hath
beene
mine
ayme
without
affectation
;
for
actions
done
for
vaine-glory
,
lose
their
desert
;
but
protraction
in
Cures
;
gives
life
to
distempers
.
It
is
more
than
high
time
,
that
we
now
addresse
our selfe
to
our
Practise
:
wherein
,
though
most
of
our
surreptitious
Empiricks
,
gaine
them
experience
by
the
death
of
their
Patients
;
our
Patients
(
so
heavens
breath
on
our
Endeavours
)
shall
suffer
no
such
fatall
prejudice
by
our
Experience
.
Nor
doe
we
feare
it
,
Aesculapius
,
(
answered
Themista
,
)
where
Theory
,
Practise
,
and
Honesty
meete
together
in
one
Subject
,
the
Cure
cannot
but
promise
successe
;
proceed
then
happily
to
your
succe●…ding
fame
,
and
your
Patients
cheerefull
recovery
.
Aesculapius
having
thus
received
Themista's
charge
,
for
the
Care
and
Cure
of
her
Consuls
;
prepares
proper
receits
to
be
seasonably
applyed
to
every
Malady
.
Hee
craves
Eucrisius
assistance
;
whose
presence
assures
him
of
successe
in
his
Practise
.
And
first
,
because
first
in
order
,
and
a
distemper
of
infinite
danger
,
and
therefore
requisite
to
have
the
expeditest
Cure
,
he
cals
forth
Metoxos
,
to
whom
he
gives
these
directions
.
Metoxos
,
you
have
a
foule
body
,
full
of
vicious
and
malignant
humours
,
my
opinion
therefore
(
drawne
from
the
seldome
erring
rule
of
judgement
and
practise
)
is
this
;
that
you
first
be
purged
,
that
your
body
may
be
better
prepared
.
Secondly
,
you
must
be
blooded
,
that
all
corrupt
,
clotted
and
congealed
blood
may
bee
removed
.
Thirdly
,
you
must
have
a
vomit
,
that
all
crudities
which
lye
rotting
about
your
stomacke
,
may
bee
exhaled
.
The
necessity
of
which
Experiments
shall
appeare
(
said
Aesculapius
)
by
the
effects
,
which
each
of
these
produce
.
1.
For
your
Siege
,
the
Lake
Cocitus
,
or
Stimphalus
were
odoriferous
Bathes
unto
it
.
The
whole
History
of
Ajax
cannot
show
the
like
:
for
the
luscious't
nutriment
ever
renders
the
loath
somst
excrement
.
2.
Secondly
,
for
your
blood
,
it
is
so
thicke
and
corrupt
,
as
Buls
blood
is
of
a
pure
,
simple
,
and
subtile
quality
in
comparison
of
it
:
which
may
appeare
by
the
standing
colour
,
or
Iewish
tincture
you
have
in
your
face
,
which
being
laid
on
with
an
Aurum
technicum
,
cannot
blush
.
3.
Thirdly
,
for
the
Crudities
of
your
Stomacke
;
they
are
so
numerous
,
and
those
so
onerous
,
as
they
that
see
your
Eiectments
,
will
hold
them
meere
deceptions
of
the
Sight
:
for
sometimes
,
you
shall
cast
up
a
whole
Oxe
(
equall
for
proportion
to
Milo's
Bull
)
which
stucke
so
in
your
throat
,
as
you
could
not
speak
,
but
brought
you
by
meanes
of
this
Obstruction
,
in
great
danger
of
a
Squinancy
;
other
times
,
a
Massie
Basen
and
Eure
,
all
partiall-guilt
;
Now
an
hundred
or
two
of
Rixe
dollors
;
and
in
the
end
,
when
your
stomacke
is
disgorged
of
these
,
you
shall
cast
up
a
whole
Covy
of
Partridge
,
Ducke
and
Mallard
,
Cram'd
Capons
,
with
much
other
both
wilde
fowle
and
tame
;
all
which
lay
fluttering
on
your
queasie
stomacke
,
unconcocted
.
And
all
this
by
the
sorcery
of
your
Curtezan
Analeutheria
.
Having
prescribed
you
these
directions
;
and
prepared
for
you
a
Pectorall
of
Hearbe
of
Grace
:
with
a
Plaister
of
Liver-wort
;
(
for
I
conceive
all
these
distempers
to
proceed
from
an
ill
liver
)
I
must
advise
you
to
be
patient
in
your
Cure
;
which
if
you
doe
,
I
make
little
doubt
,
but
to
work
a
rare
Cure
upon
you
.
For
this
hath
beene
ever
my
positive
Conclusion
in
the
whole
course
of
my
Practise
,
that
there
is
nothing
,
which
makes
diseases
more
incurable
,
than
the
negligence
or
impatience
of
the
Patient
:
as
might
bee
instanced
in
Sisambres
;
which
Story
,
Harmonius
,
it
is
my
pleasure
you
relate
in
a
Musicall
straine
,
while
I
prepare
his
Physicall
ingrediences
.
Argument
.
Harmonius
relates
how
Sisambres
one
of
King
Cambyses
iudges
,
and
taken
with
like
infirmity
as
Metoxos
was
,
would
not
bee
perswaded
to
take
a
purge
,
nor
bee
cured
of
those
corrupt
humours
,
wherewith
hee
was
oppressed
:
which
cost
him
his
life
,
being
by
Cambyses
Command
flead
,
and
his
skinne
nayled
to
the
judiciall
Seate
,
upon
which
his
Sonne
,
succeeding
him
,
was
to
sit
,
to
put
him
in
minde
of
his
duty
.

Argument
Aesculapius
prescribes
directions
to
Epimonos
;
diseases
insensible
are
most
incurable
;
He
is
confident
of
his
Cure
,
if
hee
freely
submit
himselfe
to
his
Care
:
with
the
danger
hee
may
incurre
by
declining
from
his
prescriptions
.
Small
griefes
in
an
untoward
patient
,
become
in
short
time
mortally
desperate
.
This
he
instanceth
in
the
misfortunes
of
M.
Caelius
,
the
relation
whereof
hee
recommends
to
Harmonius
.
PROSE
II.
DIsposed
had
this
judicious
Artist
no
sooner
of
Metoxos
,
whose
violent
distemper
required
present
reliefe
;
than
,
leaning
a
little
on
his
Elbow
,
as
one
deepely
engaged
to
some
serious
contemplation
,
hee
in
the
end
burst
out
into
these
words
.
Madame
(
quoth
hee
to
Themista
)
it
is
an
usuall
Proverbe
in
these
parts
,
that
the
Ship
had
need
be
free
from
leakes
,
where
the
Pilot
is
drunke
.
What
doe
you
meane
by
that
(
answered
●…hemista
)
Mary
thus
(
quoth
Aesculapius
:
)
your
Grace
hath
here
a
faire
,
ample
,
&
flourishing
estate
;
of
a
large
extent
is
your
government
;
but
the
members
,
wherof
your
State
consists
,
had
need
bee
well
disposed
,
when
their
heads
be
so
distempered
.
How
doe
you
thinke
of
us
(
answered
●…hemista
)
we
should
be
the
Head
?
doe
you
finde
any
such
distemper
in
our
affections
?
Excuse
me
,
Madame
,
(
replyed
Aesculapius
)
There
is
none
that
knowes
you
,
but
truely
honours
you
;
your
actions
are
rightly
squared
;
your
affections
sweetly
tempered
;
your
Scale
of
Justice
equally
poized
:
but
a
sinister
hand
perverts
it
.
The
fountaine
is
not
to
be
blamed
,
if
any
troubled
or
brackish
water
,
partaking
of
the
Earth
,
not
of
the
Spring

And

:
for
there

remaine

Themista

how
to
requite
a
Curtsie
of
such
high
consequence
;
which
shall
appeare
in
a

reall
and
expressive
recompence

Presents
and
ample
promises
are
moving
objects
to
mercenary
Professants
(
answered
Aesculapius
)
but
as
Nature
hath
enabled
me
with
gifts
of
knowledge
,
so
hath
shee
given
me
a
contented
minde
,
to
confine
my
desires
to
my
present
fortune
.
To
doe
good
shall
bee
my
greatest
gaine
;
more
than
this
I
little
need
,
and
to
obtaine
this
shall
be
mine
highest
ayme
.
And
so
turning
him
towards
Epimonos
,
who
all
this
while
sate
bolt
upright
in
a
chaire
,
without
any
sensible
appearance
of
paine
,
hee
freely
imparted
his
minde
unto
him
,
in
this
manner
.
I
am
not
ignorant
,
Epimonos
,
what
danger
you
are
in
;
yet
let
not
this
amate
you
:
the
more
danger
in
the
Cure
,
the
more
shall
be
my
Care
.
Be
you

My

carefully
observed
,
they
shall
in

short

become
(
in

soveraigne
and
healthfull
.
First
then
,
forasmuch
as
I
very
well
know
the
pertinacy
of
your
humour
to
bee
such
,
as
it
must
be
corrected
,
before
any
medicine
can
be
properly
applied
,
or
usefully
ministred
:
I
am
of
necessity
to
take
this
course
(
for
milder
receits
might
prove
worse
)
that
Lenitive
and
mollifying
plaisters
be
used
to
foften
the

Stifnesse
of
your

;
to
lay
Cantarides
to

,
to
sucke
away
those

Crude
humours
,
which
by
concretion
so
benumme
and
stiffen
your
necke
,
as
you
cannot
bow
it
.
I
am
to
apply
likewise
,
Goats

,
to
dissolve
that
3
adamantine
humour
congealed
within
the
Membrane
or
thinne
skinne
which
incloseth
your
heart
.
And
because
,
diseases
insensible
are
most
incurable
,
I
must
use
a
little
s●…arifying
,
to
bring
you
to
a

,
and
perfecting
my
Cure
Nor
is
this
all
,
sundry
other
ingrediences
are
to
be
prepared
,
before
a
Cure
of
this
difficulty
can
be
possibly
effected
.
I
am
therefore
to
prescribe
you
a
diet
drinke
,
strongly
tempered
with
the
juyce
of
Morphasmos
and
Aisthema
,
hearbs
of
soveraigne
vertue
for
your
Malady
.
These
must
be
daily
applyed
,
and
as
hot
as
you
may
suffer
them
:
Wherin
I
intend
to
be
personally
employed
,
that
nothing
may
be
omitted
,
for
the
expediting
of
your
Cure
.
Neither
let
the
long
continuance
of
your
Physicke
any
way
dishearten
you
;
it
is
a
constant
Maxime
amongst
us
;
"
No

of

can
be
effected
speedily
.
Though
our

it

Our

you

that
this
were
but
an
easie
Cure
;
yet
twenty

one
,
they
would
kill
you
before
they

you

For
their

is

,
but
never

the
Cause
:
so

But

I
have
devoted
my

and
the
benefit

out

PROSE
III.
SVrely
(
said
Aesculapius
to
Harmonius
)
thou
hast
deblazoned
the
Tragicke
Scene
of
Caelius
misfortunes
in
right
colours
:
for
he
was
ever
said
to
have
a
good
right
hand
,
but
an
ill
left
hand
,
because
he
could
plead
against
a
man
better
than
for
him
.
Which
procured
him
no
lesse
hate
,
than
his
mercenary
Eloquence
purchased
him
gaine
.
But
our
Cures
are
many
,
and
the
day
runnes
on
:
we
must
now
addresse
our
best
endeavours
for
your
recovery
(
quoth
he
to
Vperephanos
:
)
wherein
I
must
tell
you
freely
(
nor
would
I
have
it
to
discourage
you
)
that
your
Cure
is
of
greatest
difficulty
.
Your
very
action
,
gesture
,
and
discourse
puts
me
in
minde
of
Rhemnius
Palaemon
,
that
arrogant
Grammarian
,
or
rather
Grammatist
;
who
vaine-gloriously
boasted
,
that
good
Literature
had
first
life
by
him
,
and
should
after
dye
with
him
.
Or
like
Gorgias
the
Orator
,
who
ever
advanced
himselfe
to
the
highest
place
,
and
arrogated
to
himselfe
the
deservingst
praise
.
You
have
hit
his
humour
rightly
(
answered
Themista
)
heavens
grant
you
may
fit
him
with
as
proper
a
remedy
:
but
in
good
sadnesse
,
Sir
,
how
doe
you
finde
him
affected
?
Distracted
,
you
would
say
,
Madam
,
(
replied
Aesculapius
.
)
The
Oetean
Hercules
had
never
a
more
violent
beating
pulse
,
after
hee
had
put
on
that
empoisoned
shirt
of
Nessus
.
Observe
the
madding
motion
of
his
Eyes
;
how
wildely
hee
lookes
!
In
what
a
disioynted
Circuit
his
discourse
runs
on
!
I
can
assure
you
,
Madam
,
for
all
his
silence
,
hee
verily
conceits
at
this
instant
,
that
the
wisedome
of
all
politicke
States
is
confined
within
the
empty
circumference
of
his
braine
.
A
dangerous
head-piece
,
trust
me
!
This
I
am
sure
of
,
were
the
government
of
the
Vniverse
left
to
the
guidance
of
his
Sconce
,
we
should
have
a
mad
State
.
Yet
I
can
tell
you
Sir
,
(
said
Themista
)
that
since
our
unhappy
absence
from
these
parts
,
he
was
held
the
onely
Oracle
of
our
Court.
Nothing
was
definitely
decre●…d
;
no
Censure
pronounced
;
no
judgement
delivered
;
nor
any
publique
Act
promulgated
;
unlesse
it
were
first
by
him
approved
:
so
universally
was
hee
reputed
.
This
it
is
,
and
onely
this
(
answered
Aesculapius
)
that
hath
madded
him
.
Had
he
beene
opposed
in
his
will
,
we
had
never
beene
put
to
this
worke
.
So
dangerous
it
is
to
sooth
or
second
some
humours
,
as
it
fares
with
these
,
as
the
Ape
dealt
with
her
darling
:
They
kill
them
,
while
they
coll
them
.
Shady
honours
are
their
beauties
;
applause
is
their
minion
;
nor
doe
they
care
so
much
for
desert
,
as
opinion
.
This
humour
is
long
rankling
before
it
come
to
burst
out
:
but
this
Ery●…ipelas
or
wilde
fire
being
once
kindled
,
the
flame
is
not
so
soon
to
be
quenched
.
All
this
time
,
sate
Vperephanos
upright
in
his
Chaire
,
shewing
a
Supercilious
kind
of
State
:
and
expressing
a
kinde
of
humorous
action
or
apish
formality
,
in
wink●…
,
noddes
,
and
other
strange
gesticulation
:
which
●…lapius
well
observing
,
and
drawing
near
him
;
ask't
him
how
hee
did
?
Excellently
well
(
quoth
Vperephanos
)
for
how
is
it
possible
I
should
doe
otherwise
?
The
greedy
eyes
of
the
vulgar
are
fixt
upon
me
;
The
whole
Counsell-Chamber
relyes
on
me
;
The
publique
State
,
hath
recommended
the
helme
of
her
government
unto
mee
.
If
I
faile
,
she
fals
;
her
grandeure
lyes
on
my
shoulder
;
in
the
wounding
of
whose
honour
I
suffer
equally
.
Goe
to
(
quoth
Aesculapius
)
you
know
not
what
you
suffer
:
you
are
madded
with
an
over-weening
opinion
of
your
owne
wisedome
.
Assure
your selfe
,
the
State
stands
in
no
such
neede
of
you
;
should
you
perish
,
she
would
flourish
.
Shee
hath
other
shoulders
to
support
her
;
other
Lights
to
direct
.
her
than
your
addle
braine
.
Goe
to
Sir
,
would
you
have
your selfe
displayde
in
your
owne
native
colour
?
I
must
doe
it
,
and
roundly
too
,
or
I
shall
never
bring
you
to
a
discovery
of
your selfe
.
I
will
tell
you
then
what
I
feare
,
though
you
feele
no
such
occasion
of
feare
in
your selfe
.
I

chants

became
so

His

having

And
heard

So

PROSE
IV.
MAdam
(
said
Ae●…culapius
,
turning
himself
to
Themista
)
this
was
a
mad
piece
to
make
a
Consul
of
;
but
there
was
never
any
good
wit
without
some
egregious
folly
.
They
that
would
suffer
themselves
to
be
troubled
at
the
sight
of
every
mad
Statist
,
would
have
some
thing
to
thinke
on
.
Wise
men
can
never
bee
discovered
,
but
by
others
folly
.
Venus
never
shewed
more
beauty
,
than
when
Nais
sate
by
her
,
and
shew'd
her
deformity
.
All
this
is
true
(
answered
Themista
)
but
nothing
troubles
us
so
much
,
as
to
see
one
,
whose
judgement
should
have
ministred
advice
to
others
,
so
bleered
and
blemished
in
his
own
.
Surely
,
had
you
knowne
this
Vperephanos
,
when
wee
first
knew
him
,
you
would
have
admir'd
him
for
pregnancy
of
wit
,
solidity
of
judgement
,
and
generality
of
worth
.
Nothing
was
spoke
by
him
,
but
infinitely
became
him
;
ripe
hee
was
of
conceit
,
and
rich
in
fancy
.
And
it
was
that
(
said
Aesculapius
)
and
nothing
but
that
(
as
I
said
before
which
brought
him
to
this
dangerous
Frensy
.
I
must
tell
you
,
Madame
,
for
mine
ancient
experience
hath
found
it
true
:
That
person
had
need
of
a
composed
spirit
,
and
to
have
a
constant
and
staid
wit
,
who
preserves
it
untainted
,
when
hee
is
hugged
in
the
Court
,
honoured
by
the
State
,
and
humoured
with
applause
.
The
axiome
is
,
"
it
is
rare
to
bee
great
and
good
;
but
no
lesse
authentique
is
this
,
rare
it
is
to
bee
popular
and
wise
.
Many
have
beene
Promotion
is
the
Touchstone
,
But
let
this
nothing
amate
you
(
Madame
;
)
wee
have
so
dispos'd
of
him
;
as
we
hope
to
leave
him
in
far
better
temper
,
than
wee
found
him
.
He
had
no
sooner
spoken
this
,
then
Meilixos
was
presented
to
him
,
whom
hee
received
with
an
affable
entertaine
;
and
drawing
neare
him
,
and
gently
stroaking
his
temples
with
his
hand
;
Take
heart
of
grace
to
you
(
quoth
hee
to
Meilixos
)
my
life
for
yours
;
there
is
no
such
violence
of
distemper
,
but
I
shall
quickly
allay
the
decreasing
heate
of
this
humour
.
I
could
wish
that
my
Patient
,
whom
I
had
last
in
hand
,
were
in
no
greater
danger
.
Looke
up
man
,
bee
not
dejected
;
within
few
dayes
I
doubt
not
,
but
to
set
you
on
your
feete
.
Milde
and
moderate
hath
beene
your
humour
,
and
I
shall
fit
you
with
Receits
of
like
nature
.
Alas
,
good
man
,
how
hee
trembles
before
ever
ought
be
applyed
unto
him
!
These
be
Symptomes
of
a
weake
and
pusillanimous
spirit
.
I
am
verily
perswaded
,
one
might
work
strange
conclusions
on
such
a
subject
:
So
easily
were
he
to
be
deluded
,
if
any
one
would
bestow
so
much
time
,
as
to
practise
upon
his
weakenesse
:
Such
strong
impressions
may
conceit
worke
upon
a
feeble
Subject
.
It
is
not
to
bee
doubted
(
answered
Themista
)
but
very
many
have
been
brought
to
their
graves
through
conceit
,
before
ever
they
came
to
be
sicke
:
as
might
be
instanced
in
that
white-livet'd
Emperour
Dioclesian
,
one
To
confirme
this
(
said
Aesculapius
)
I
have
heard
(
Madam
)
of
some
rare
conclusions
tryed
upon
condemned
persons
:
who
were
hoodwinckt
,
with
their
armes
laid
bare
for
incision
,
as
if
they
had
beene
to
bee
blooded
to
death
.
Luke
warme
water
was
applyed
and
sprinckled
upon
their
untoucht
veines
,
by
the
supposed
Chirurgion
;
a
strange
kinde
of
whispering
or
muttering
was
used
about
him
,
as
if
the
delinquent
were
even
then
expiring
.
Nothing
left
undone
to
delude
him
:
Nor
were
their
endeavours
fruitlesse
;
for
conceiving
this
to
be
true
,
as
they
surmized
,
with
an
easie
credulity
vanquished
,
meekely
but
simply
hee
expired
.
Or
like
that
Cobler
of
Mantua
,
who
was
brought
to
bee
sicke
by
perswasion
,
when
there
was
no
distemper
nor
weaknesse
at
all
in
his
constitution
.
As
they
were
thus
discoursing
,
Meilixos
(
whether
through
conceit
of
his
owne
distemper
,
or
long
fasting
,
I
know
not
)
became
sensibly
fainting
▪
which
,
Aesculapius
quickly
perceiving
,
runne
to
him
:
and
ministring
to
him
out
of
an
Amethist
boxe
,
which
hee
held
in
his
hand
,
two
or
three
small
pellets
of
soveraigne
vertue
to
breake
winde
,
and
give
way
to
respiration
;
used
these
words
unto
him
.
What
's
the
matter
,
Meilixos
;
will
you
dye
in
despight
of
Physicke
?
you
should
wrong
Nature
much
,
to
enfeeble
that
by
conceit
,
which
shee
hath
so
well
strengthened
and
fortifide
for
your
content
.
Will
you
dye
,
because
you
are
not
sicke
?
Or
,
will
you
bee
sicke
,
because
a
groundlesse
feare
tels
you
,
you
are
not

Fye
Sir
,
reflect
upon
your selfe
,
and
tender
your
owne
estate
!
Children
can
play
,
till
their
heads
ake
;
and
will
you
lye
downe
and
dye
,
and
feele
nothing
?
But
admit
you
were
subject
to
some
exuberant
humours
,
or
dangerous
distempers
(
as
all
humane
respiration
passing
through
such
earthen
pipes
,
cannot
but
by
their
rubbish
receive
sometimes
▪
obstruction
,
or
some
mouldy

&
earthly
infection
)
these
being
seasonably
disclosed

may
bee
no

to

easie
Cures
as
yours
,
which
are
not
grown
indurate
nor

and

with

salved
.
Give
good
attention
then
to
my

your selfe
for

PROSE
V.
YOu
see
,
Madame
,
(
said
Aesculapius
to
Themista
)
what
dangers
hence
occurre
,
by
meanes
of
a
remisse
Patient
.
Who
,
albeit
,
hee
holds
nothing
more
pretious
than
health
,
and
seemingly
neglects
all
outward
respects
for
purchasing
of
it
:
yet
are
directions
of
health
no
sooner
given
,
than
forgot
,
no
sooner
prescribed
,
than
neglected
.
So
apt
is
man
to
forget
what
most
imports
him
,
and
entertaine
that
with
delight
,
which
fruitlesly
delights
him
;
and
in
the
end
destroyes
him
.
It
is
true
(
said
Themista
)
present
delights
so
captivate
the
Sense
,
as
it
will
seldome
or
never
suffer
us
to
converse
with
Reason
.
We
love
nothing
better
than
life
,
yet
by
living
ill
wee
prevent
all
meanes
of
living
long
.
Nature
dictates
this
unto
us
(
answered
Aesculapius
)
that
wee
should
tender
nothing
more
than
health
,
nor
value
any
directions
like
those
which
tend
to
the
conservation
of
it
;
yea
,
the
Poet
himselfe
could
sing
:
Nor
house
,
nor
ground
,
nor
any
store
of
wealth
,
Can
relish
his
distaste
,
that
h
'as
no
health
.
What
a
miserable
thing
is
a
rich
sicke
man
?
His
gold
(
which
hee
made
his
god
)
cannot
allay
his
distemper
,
nor
afford
him
one
minutes
ease
●…or
all
his
treasure
.
Yet
see
deluded
soules
!
How
they
prize
the
end
,
and
slight
the
meanes
!
How
Selfe-will
exposeth
them
to
millions
of
extreames
!
Live
they
would
;
and
to
lengthen
their
hopes
of
living
,
they
expresse
their
bounty
to
their
Physician
,
by
endowing
him
with
an
ample
pension
;
his
Receits
,
so
long
as
they
relish
their
sickly
appetite
,
they
receive
:
but
stricter
Directions
they
utterly
reject
,
at
least
,
intermit
,
because
they
comply
not
with
their
humours
.
Much
like
that
foole
of
Millain
,
who
preferred
a
sugar
pil
before
his
life
.
These
may
be
truely
said
(
answered
Themista
)
to
have
their
whole
understanding
placed
in
their
Sense
.
They
preferre
what
may
please
,
before
what
may
ease
;
their
will
before
their
weale
.
And
such
is
the
desperate
state
of
your
distempered
Statists
(
said
Aesculapius
.
)
Infinitely
credulous
(
besides
all
this
)
they
are
apt
to
bee
deluded
,
by
whatsoever
shal
be
(
though
never
so
improbable
)
to
their
blinded
affections
suggested
.
So
as
they
may
wel
seem
to
be
ranked
,
and
endenized
amongst
that
credulous
Plebeian
Society
of
Margant
;
who
were
made
Is
it
possible
(
said
Themista
)
that
any
rationall
Society
should
be
so
deluded
?
Very
easily
(
answered
Aesculapius
)
as
I
could
instance
with
many
moderne
examples
:
but
(
Madame
)
I
must
crave
your
patience
a
little
;
for
I
have
now
to
deale
with
a
violent
Patient
:
One
,
whose
imperious
▪
disposition
hath
at
all
times
made
his
will
his
law
.
Which
Aesculapius
had
no
sooner
spoke
,
than
hee
forthwith
caused
Vpotomos
to
be
call'd
forth
:
full
of
fire
and
fury
were
his
eyes
;
fierce
and
revengefull
were
his
threats
;
bloudy
and
truculent
were
his
hands
;
rigid
and
relentlesse
was
his
heart
;
full
of
passionate

Aesculapius
well
observing

willed
Vpotomos
to
be
bound
;
for
till
such
time
as
he
were
fast
tyed
,
hee
could
neither
practise
upon

,
nor
the
Patient
suffer
such
experiments
,
as
were
to
be
practised
on
him
.
All
which
being
done
,
according
to
his
command
,
and
taking
him
by
his
strong-beating
pulse
,
hee
used
these
words
unto
him
.
Sir
,
I
must
freely
tell
you
,
that
such
is
the
nature
of
your
distemper
,
that
I
must
use
the
art
of
Chirurgery
as
well
as
Physicke
,
in
the
performing
of
this
Cure
.
For
you
must
be
1.
opened
,
and
a
Worme
taken
out
of
your
gall
;
the
maine
cause
of
your
distemper
.
I
am
likewise
to
prepare
Cupping-glasses
to
2.
coole
and
temper
your
braine
.
Then
,
make
a
drink
well-mixt
with
the
juyce
of
Metriot
and
Euchrasia
,
to
3.
remove
your
Pluriticall
stitches
.
Which
done
,
I
am
to
apply
Oppian
plaisters
,
with
a
certaine
quantity
of
the
juyce
of
Sunneidesis
infused
,
But
what
availeth
it
to
minister
these
Receits
,
if
you
doe
not
observe
them
?
or
to
bring
you
to
your
feete
,
if
you
,
through
neglect
of
what
is
here
prescribed
you
,
make
way
to
recidivation
,
and
consequently
to
your
owne
undoing
?
Though
Physicians
have
the
body
in
cure
,
if
the
Patient
second
not
their
Cure
with
his
care
,
the
Cure
is
lost
,
and
all
those
Receits
they
so
artfully
prescrib'd
,
reduc'd
to
nothing
.
It
is
one
of
our
Maximes
;
Art
is
long
in
purchasing
;
Life
short
in
continuing
;
and
Experience
subject
to
deceiving
.
But
Art
is
never
more
lost
,
than
when
bestow'd
on
a
carelesse
Patient
;
nor
Life
more
short
,
than
with
a
Recreant
;
nor
Experience
more
deceiving
,
than
when
exercis'd
on
him
,
who
admits
no
government
.
For
,
to
use
the
proverbe
of
that
ignorant
man
,
had
you
as

all
would
be

lost

How
many
have
we
knowne
fall
backe
irrecoverably
ill
,
because
they
presumed
they
were
well

saving

their

speedy
payment
of
their
debt
to
Nature

The
onely
meanes
to
preserve
health
recovered

is
to
avoid
all
occasions
of
incurring
a
relapse

I
remember
,
there
were
But
the
other
was
of
a
farre
more
cautelous
nature
,
and
(
perhaps
)
of
as
resisting
a
temper
:
for
hee
would
not
presume
too
much
upon
his
own
strength
,
nor
grapple
with
tentation
in
her
height
,
but
wisely
standing
on
his
own
guard
,
prevent
the
meanes
of
being
tempted
,
lest
temptation
might
chance
to
give
him
the
foile

I
meane
to
cloze
up
in
one

by

Vpon
your

(
as
I
cannot
promise
it
,
lest
you
become
too

in
the
purchase
of
it
,
yet
shall
my

it
)
I
could
wish
you
by
all
meanes
to
avoid
the

of
Eris

whose

hath
so
infected
you
.
For
I
must
tell
you
,
such
acquaintance
upon

will
bring
you
to

make

Surely
(
said

)
you
have
made
such
a
free
discovery
of
Pluto's
family
,
and
those
proper
penalties
which
are
inflicted
on
the
whole
Livery
,
as
they
shall
need
no
better
survey
for
their
society
:
yea
,
wee
should
verily
thinke
,
but
that
we
are
better
conceited
of
your
temper
,
that
you
have
now
and
then
a
moneths
minde
to
play
the
Satyre
:
not
that
it
complyes
with
your
nature
,
but
purposely
to
allay
more
serious
studies
with
the
pregnancy
o●…
so
piercing
an
humour
.
No
surely
(
answered
Aesculapius
)
I
could
never
much
affect
that
Study
:
It
was
my
desire
rather
(
Madame
)
to
intimate
unto
your
Grace
,
the
remorselesse
natures
of
such
,
as
my
last
Patient
was
:
who
ever
mixed
wormewood
with
Justice
;
racking
up
your
Lawes
to
the
highest
pinne
:
and
in
a
word
,
preferring
Execution
before
Iudgement
.
These
I
hold
fittest
for
those
Places
,
where
there
inhabits
none
but
notorious
Delinquents
,
and
exquisite
punishments
.
Nor
doe
I
misse
their
humour
farre
:
for
one
of
this
Rank
,
as
I
remember
,
stickt
not
publikely
to
professe
,
and
confirme
it
too
with
a
solemne
protest
,
"
That
it
was
his
Iubile
to
"
hang
many
:
&
that
a
great
Execution
,
was
his
Recreation
.
It
was
great
pitty
(
said
Themista
)
but
he
should
make
one
of
the
number
,
seeing
an
action
of
that
nature
,
afforded
him
such
infinite
pleasure
.
It
is
observed
by
our
Physitians
(
answered
Aesculapius
)
that
none
die
of
an
ague
,
nor
without
an
ague
.
But
sure
I
am
,
that
these
fiery
and
furious
Spirits
are
ever
possest
of
an
hot
fever
:
and
such
an
one
,
as
partakes
no
intermissions
.
So
as
,
in
my
opinion
,
these
may
be
in
some
respect
resembled
to
Aristides
,
(
though
one
more
temperately
just
,
and
judiciously
temperate
)
who
dying
of
the
bite
of
a
Weasell
,
exceedingly
lamented
it
was
not
a
Lyon
.
As
their
ambitious
spirits
are
unbounded
,
and
with
fury
ever
distempered
;
they
can
indure
nothing
worse
than
a
contemptible
affront
,
nor
receive
ought
better
than
a
foile
from
an
imperious
foe
.
With
what
a
braving
domine●…ing
command
,
have
I
observed
some
of
these
beare
themselves
,
amongst
their
Inferiours
!
How
prompt
were
these
to
command
;
and
how
ready
those
to
obey
?
So
highly
had
their
purple
transported
them
,
as
they
assumed
more
than
could
become
them
.
Whereas
,
no
sooner
had
they
put
off
their
Lyons
case
,
and
adjourn'd
the
Court
,
then
they
would
daigne
to
embrace
those
,
whom
before
they
contemned
;
&
communicate
themselves
to
such
,
as
before
they
sleighted
.
Especially
,
where
either
private
ends
,
or
some
other
particular
respects
wrought
upon
the
coppy
of
their
countenance
.
But
admit
,
these
were
to
their
inferiours
never
so
soveraignizing
,
they
knew
well
when
to
bee
supple
,
and
how
to
veile
to
the
shadow
of
Greatnesse
.
No
surly
looke
,
nor
clowdy
aspect
;
no
bended
brow
,
nor
contracted
front
,
were
then
to
be
seene
.
Low
Congies
,
humble
Salutes
,
Earth-touching
ducks
,
gave
these
powerfull
Magnifico's
all
promising
entertaine
.
Now
,
what
poore
Protean
Patriots
are
these
!
Meere
slaves
to
the
time
,
and
staines
to
the
face
of
Iustice
.
How
easie
were
these
to
bee
wrought
to
any
impression
!
And
these
V●…cers
must
bee
launced
,
or
the
whole
Body
must
bee
necessarily
distempered
.
It
is
most
true
(
said
Themista
!
)
and
hence
a●…e
our
tears
!
For
,
when
a
precious
or
gorgeous
Case
alters
the
equity
of
the
Cause
,
what
a
case
are
we
in
?
These
were
not
the
directions
which
we
gave
them
,
when
wee
last
left
them
.
Nor
were
these
,
those
Conscript
fathers
wee
left
sitting
,
when
wee
tooke
leave
of
Earth
,
to
mount
to
Heaven
.
For
what
a
sweet
union
of
mindes
;
what
fixt
resolves
for
advancing
Iustice
;
what
a
discreet
temper
in
the
whole
current
of
all
their
actions
,
appear'd
then
amongst
them
?
No
powerfull
adversarie
could
over-beare
our
Sage
and
impartiall
Senate
.
Blinde
was
shee
in
respect
of
person
;
lame
in
respect
of
Bribes
.
Constant
was
she
in
executing
what
was
right
;
resolute
in
suppressing
what
was
unjust
.
Choice
was
that
harmony
,
where
neither
affection
could
draw
,
nor
power
over-awe
,
nor
any
sinister
respect
deprave
.
Would
your
Grace
(
answered
Aesculapius
)
have
your
IVSTIARIES
blinde
and
lame
?
you
need
not
wish
it
,
Madame
,
for
you
shall
finde
variety
of
defects
among
them
.
For
some
of
these
grave
Senatours
,
your
Grace
shall
perceive
to
be
so
blind
,
as
they
can
hardly
find
the
right
way
to
the
Bench
,
during
all
your
Sessions
.
Others
so
lame
,
as
they
will
vouchsafe
to
goe
hand
in
hand
with
their
Constables
,
and
both
goe
downe
of
one
side
,
and
hal●…
in
their
office
.
You
make
your self
pleasant
(
said
Themista
)
with
our
Cr●…pples
:
but
all
this
applies
no
salve
to
our
soare
;
no
Cure
to
our
Care
.
But
in
convenient
time
,
doubt
it
not
,
Madam
(
answered
Aesculapius
)
but
my
art
shall
produce
some
soveraigne
effect
:
I
have
hitherto
gone
through
all
your
distempred
Statists
,
One
onely
excepted
;
to
whom
,
as
I
have
done
to
the
rest
,
I
shall
apply
such
Receits
,
with
such
usefull
directions
for
preserving
health
,
as
the
Cure
may
every
way
answer
your
Expectance
,
and
restore
them
to
their
former
temper
,
to
your
honour
,
and
the
advancement
of
Iustice
.
Which
Aesculapius
had
no
sooner
spoken
,
than
he
bids
Amerimnos
(
the
last
,
though
not
least
of
all
this
distemperd
Tribe
)
to
rowse
himself
up
for
shame
.
And
the
sooner
to
awake
that
drowsie
&
remisse
spirit
of
his
,
wherewith
he
was
so
much
depressed
,
as
nothing
sounded
well
in
his
eare
,
that
might
put
his
body
to
any
toile
;
hee
caused
one
to
play
upon
a
Iew
Trumpe
,
and
to
apply
the
instrument
close
to
his
eare
,
purposely
to
keepe
him
awake
:
which
done
,
hee
used
these
words
unto
him
.
Sir
,
I
must
tell
you
,
I
can
compare
you
to
no
one
thing
more
fi●…ly
,
than
to
the
Ostridge
,
both
for
stomack
and
action
.
For
the
Ostridge
can
digest
ought
,
yet
neither
fatter
nor
fuller
:
and
for
action
,
though
he
seeme
to
have
the
wings
of
an
Eagle
,
yet
hee
never
flyes
up
.
This
is
just
your
condition
,
whose
long
habituate
sloth
hath
made
you
the
very
Embleme
of
a
Snayle
,
who
leaves
no
other
print
nor
impression
of
pace
nor
place
,
but
a
little
slime
.
But
to
prevent
all
growing
occasions
of
a
further
malady
,
&
apply
a
seasonable
Cure
to
your
stupid
and
insensible
infirmity
,
I
must
prescribe
you
this
diet
.
Your
broath
every
morning
before
you
goe
to
Hall
,
must
be
made
of
Spinage
,
Day-nettles
,
and
Burdocks
,
to
1.
sharpen
your
intellect
.
And
to
2.
keepe
you
after
noone
awaking
,
I
will
prepare
for
you
an
Antiopian
plaister
,
with
an
Epimeleian
julip
,
to
lay
warm
unto
your
temples
.
I
must
enjoyne
you
at
all
hands
to
3.
abstaine
from
all
strong
drinks
;
and
never
to
drinke
betwixt
meales
,
but
with
your
teeth
shut
.
I
meane
to
provide
you
a
Night-cap
strongly
chafed
with
the
perfume
of
Cornu-copia
;
purposely
to
4.
make
your
sleeps
shorter
,
and
your
conceit
sharper
.
And
because
I
finde
by
your
Vrine
,
and
other
soporiferous
symptomes
,
that
your
kidneys
are
over-larded
with
oyle
of
Dormise
,
I
meane
by
sweatings
and
suffumigations
to
5.
extract
all
those
viscid
&
oily
humors
;
for
these
,
by
arising
from
the
stomack
,
and
fuming
up
into
the
braine
,
caused
Messala
Corvinus
,
by
acquainting
himselfe
with
Amnestes
,
to
forget
his

And

As

With

to
enroll
his

,
Corvinus
had

And
did
confesse

But
some

his

Came
by

With
whom
he

-

Next
,
what

?
I
would
dine
.
Then
would
he
sleep
till
supper
time
.
So
as
,
that
character
of
his
,
In
my
opinion
,
might
be
this
:

PROSE

REndring
of
thankes
is
but
a
naked
tribute
(
said
Themista
)
for
so
ample
and
extended
a
curtsie
,
as
you
have
offered
us
;
for
your
knowne
Experience
hath
laid
on
us
so
confident
an
Expectance

a
faire
and

Cure
may
be
expected
from
one
of
such
exquisite

,
seconded
with
such

Yet
shall
not

we
have
a

as
ready
to
requite
,
as
to

:
So
that
we

Madame
(
answered
Aesculapius
)
I
am
neither
so
weake
in
fortunes
,
nor
servile
in
my
thoughts
,
nor
remisse
in
my
desire
of
doing
good
,
as
to
make
reward
my
Object
:
for
my
part
,
I
never
yet
reared
a
Stage
to
vaunt
my selfe
,
or
vent
my
stuffe
.
Doing
good
shall
bee
ever
my
goale
;
and
the
health
of
my
Patient
,
my
gaine
.
Neither
is
that
fame
deservingly
purchased
,
which
is
got
by
meere
Ostentation
,
or
desire
of
popular
praise
;
Nor
that
gaine
well
grounded
,
nor
that
art
well
employed
,
which
exposeth
it selfe
to
a
price
.
O
that
we
had
many
Professants
of
your
art
and
of
your
minde
(
said
Themista
to
Aesculapius
!
)
Then
should
not
mercenary
Artists
so
delude
the
State
,
nor
asperse
upon
the
Republike
so
foule
a
stain
.
Where
Experiments
generally
take
life
from
the
death
of
their
Patients
.
But
wee
must
withdraw
our selfe
,
and
addresse
our
discourse
to
these
our
distempred
Statists
;
whose
present
infirmity
,
as
it
requires
your
helpe
,
so
it
rests
that
wee
use
our
exhortation
to
move
them
to
patience
in
their
Cure
,
with
hope
of
recovery
by
submitting
themselves
to
your
Care
.
Wherewith
,
shee
presently
caused
her
sicke-languishing
Consuls
to
be
brought
forth
;
and
being
disposed
in
severall
Couches
,
according
to
their
degrees
,
imparted
her selfe
unto
them
in
this
sort

Servants

and
you
our
sometimes
Deputed
Assistants
in
the
Execution
of
Iustice
:
Even
of
that
Justice
,
which
is
the
Summarie
&
absolute
beauty
of
all
Cardinall
vertues
.
But
alas
!
how
much
have
you
detracted
from
the
glory
of
so
divine
a
Soveraigne
?
How
farre
have
you
runne
astray
?
yea
,
how
foulely
have
you
abused
our
Commission
?
When
the
wronged
Widow
with
teare
swolne
eyes
cride
for
reliefe
;
you
either
slept
and
could
not
heare
;
or
were
Corrupt
and
would
not
heare
;
or
sensel●…sse
of
an
higher
judgment
,
and
did
not
feare
;
what
your
●…isguided
course
had
given
you
just
occasion
to
feare
.
But
see
the
fruits
of
your
labour
!
Observe
what
you
suffer
!
A
fearefull
distemper
for
your
precipitate
Error
!
Now
are
you
falne
into
the
hand
of
the
Physitian
,
by
making
so
continued
a
league
with
▪
your
transgression
:
But
farre
be
it
from
us
to
insult
upon
distresse
,
or
enliven
your
griefes
with
fresh
repetition
of
your
crimes
.
As
we
have
hitherto
intended
our
best
Care
for
your
Cure
,
so
it
rests
that
wee
exhort
you
to
suffer
with
patience
the
hand
of
so
experienc't
an
Artist
,
that
he
may
the
better
perfect
his
Cure
.
The
resigned
will
of
a
Morigerous
Patient
makes
that
Cure
easie
,
which
to
a
perverse
Patient
would
become
desperate
.
Your
Physician
,
whose
dispersed
fame
ha●…h
made
him
admir'd
,
where
he
was
never
kno●…ne
,
gives
us
good
hope
of
your
recovery
;
albeit
your
distempers
are
of
severall
quality
;
which
implyes
,
that
some
of
your
Cures
will
be
more
easie
,
others
of
more
difficuly
.
Now
as
our
Exhortation
tends
to
this
purpose
,
to
move
you
to
patience
,
so
our
desire
shall
be
that
upon
your
recovery
,
you
redeeme
your
lost
time
with
redoubled
diligence
.
For
should
you
become
remisse
in
your
Care
,
upon
the
perfecting
of
your
Cure
,
it
had
beene
much
better
that
you
had
continued
still
in
your
distemper
,
than
to
recover
health
to
your
more
dishonour
.
Plutarch
reports
▪
that
Antigonus
had
in
his
Armie
a
valiant
Souldier
,
but
of
a
sickly
body
.
Antigonus
observing
his
valour
,
and
grieving
that
so
stout
a
resolution
should
bee
seconded
by
so
weake
a
constitution
,
procured
his
Physicians
to
take
him
in
hand
;
and
he
was
healed
.
Now
,
being
sound
,
he
began
to
fight
in
some
feare
,
to
keepe
himselfe
a
good
distance
from
danger
,
no
more
venturing
into
the
Vanne
or
forlorne
place
of
the
battell
.
Antigonus
noting
and
wondring
at
this
alteration
,
asked
him
the
cause
of
this
new
cowardize
.
Hee
answers
,
O
Antigonus
,
thou
art
the
cause
.
Before
,
I
ventured
nothing
but
a
diseased
corps
,
and
then
I
choose
rather
to
dye
quickly
,
than
to
live
sickly
:
I
invited
death
to
doe
me
a
kindnesse
:
Now
it
is
otherwise
with
mee
,
for
I
have
somewhat
to
loose
.
Be
not
you
,
like
this
recreant
Souldier
;
upon
recovery
of
your
health
:
improve
it
to
the
publique
wealth
.
You
have
lost
much
time
;
bewaile
that
losse
with
numerous
teares
;
the
most
pretious
and
propitious
tribute
for
misspent
houres
.
Feede
not
on
a
diseased
State
;
neither
reare
your
foundation
on
others
ruines
.
It
hath
beene
the
condition
of
many
of
your
Profession
(
with
griefe
wee
speake
it
)
so
they
fatned
themselves
,
they
car'd
little
how
leane
their
starv'd
Clients
were
.
Which
moov'd
that
Country
Boor
,
far
more
wittily
,
than
could
bee
well
expected
from
one
of
his
breeding
,
to
answer
one
of
your
ranke
,
yet
of
far
more
integrity
,
in
this
manner
.
It
hapned
that
this
Boore
driving
a
Teame
of
Horses
upon
the
high
way
,
was
encountred
by
a
pregnant
Practitioner
in
your
Profession
:
who
observing
his
foremost
Horse
fatte
and
faire
,
and
bravely
Caparison'd
,
with
a
garland
in
his
topping
,
the
more
to
beautifie
him
;
demanded
of
this
conceited
Boore
,
why
his
fore-horse
was
so
gaily
deckt
,
and
so
fatte
,
and
those
that
came
behinde
,
so
poore
and
leane
?
O
Sir
,
(
answered
the
Boore
!
)
my
fore-horse
is
a
Lawyer
,
&
these
leane
jades
that
follow
him
,
his
Clients
.
But
such
difference
of
feeding
brings
a
flourishing
State
to
ruine
.
Bee
it
your
care
to
neglect
no
meanes
for
recovery
of
your
enfe●…bled
health
;
nor
to
omit
no
time
,
wherin
you
may
benefit
the
State

your

Meane

our
own
presence
to
discharge
the

Iustice
,
till

So
every

you
to

What

Now

Now
fierce
as

strait

Become

With

And
as
't

He
ne're

His

Ne're

Short

To

Inopposition

Hee

Hee
'd
heare
no

his

Nay

now
and
then
he
would
not

But
to
call
Nature
to
a
strict
account
,
And
tax
her
too
for
some

Which
was

The

For

Argument
.
Themista
seemes
at
first
not
to
bee
perswaded
that
Cures
of
such
difficulty
could
so
expeditely
be
effected
;
She
fals
into
an
admiration
of
her
owne
happinesse
,
with
a
resolved
tender
of
thankfulnesse
,
if
Harmonius
relation
become
seconded
by
successe
;
She
gives
especiall
direction
,
that
her
Consuls
bee
admitted
to
her
presence
,
to
expresse
by
their
discourse
,
apparent
arguments
of
their
Cure
;
Metoxos
,
the
ancientest
of
her
Consuls
,
is
called
forth
,
and
declares
the
manner
of
his
Cure
,
which
hee
ascribes
to
Aesculapius
incessant
Care
;
He
disclaimes
his
former
folly
,
and
appeales
to
Isotes
,
whose
company
he
onely
admits
to
relate
his
recovery
.
PROSE
I.
DOe
I
sleep
?
or
waking
,
am
I
deluded
?
Is
it
possible
that
our
Metoxos
should
bee
recovered
?
Is
that
Sacred
thirst
of
gold
in
him
so
soone
quenched
?
Surely
,
cures
so
difficult
and
habitually
inveterate
,
cannot
so
speedily
bee
effected
.
Wee
say
,
"
No
taske
of
importance
may
admit
a
speedy
dispatch
:
Yet
this
,
of
all
others
,
most
intricate
,
is
to
a
short
limit
confined
.
That
hee
,
who
could
distinguish
of
no
other
colour
but
gold
;
and
held
no
other
colour
worthy
use
in
Heraldry
;
should
now
hold
it
adulterate
for
abusing
the
State
.
Rare
experiments
,
trust
me
,
so
they
be
●…eall
,
and
not
delude
mee
.
Wee
know
not
what
to
thinke
of
it
,
lest
wee
should
perplex
our
thoughts
too
much
by
embarking
our selfe
upon
it
.
Yet
,
wee
have
heard
,
if
any
one
infected
with
the
Iaundise
,
shall
but
looke
upon
the
bird
Icterus
,
he
forthwith
recovers
and
regaines
his
former
beauty
and
colour
;
why
should
I
then
doubt
,
but
upon
these
experiments
,
which
the
sacred
secrecie
of
art
hath
discovered
,
that
my
long
distempered
Consul
Metoxos
should
despaire
of
recovery
?
Why
may
not
these
terrible
Presentments
worke
so
much
upon
his
fancie
,
as
the
impression
of
them
may
avert
him
from
what
he
most
affected
;
and
adhere
to
tha●…
which
before
hee
least
relished
?
which
effect
,
should
wee
see
produced
,
to
what
height
of
admiration
might
wee
bee
raised
?
Nor
should
we
close
our
receit
of
happinesse
,
without
a
resolved
tender
of
thankfulnesse
;
could
Harmonius
relation
(
seconded
with
such
native
action
)
become
seconded
by
an
answerable
succes●…e
.
But
fit
it
were
,
that
what
wee
heare
confirmed
by
report
,
wee
see
made
good
by
entercourse
to
those
,
with
whom
wee
are
to
addresse
our
discourse
.
Wee
purpose
therefore
to
give
especiall
direction
,
that
these
our
Consuls
bee
admitted
to
our
presence
,
to
expresse
by
their
discourse
,
apparent
arguments
of
their
Cure
,
and
soveraigne
effects
of
our
Care
.
And
that
this
may
bee
done
the
better
,
wee
will
call
each
of
our
Consuls
personally
in
their
order
.
Having
said
thus
,
shee
gave
especiall
directions
,
tha●…
Metoxos
,
the
ancien●…est
of
all
her
Consuls
,
should
be
called
forth
;
whom
shee
no
sooner
saw
approaching
,
than
shee
i●…agined
how
it
was
with
him
.
For
his
very
outward
posture
expressed
an
alteration
in
his
temper
.
And
al●…●…he
better
to
try
conclusions
on
her
recovered
Patritian
;
shee
caused
sundry
peeces
of
gold
to
bee
scattered
in
the
way
as
hee
ascended
up
to
their
Iudiciall
Throne
;
purposely
to

whether
that

wherewith
his
captived
af●…ections
were
●…ormerly
so
much
;
not
onely
restrained
,
but
enchained
,
would
take
his
eye
or
no
;
but
all
these
were
too
inferiour
baits
for
so
rectified
a
spirit
.
These
hee
valued
equally
as
dust
;
and
with
a
noble
command
,
or
princely
contempt
of
all
despicable
objects
,
advancing
himselfe
with
a
gracefull
presence
towards
Themista

applied
himselfe
to
her
command
.
Who
desirous
to
gather
by
his

,
what
shee

Madam
(
quoth
Metoxos
)
to
relate
every
particular
ingredience
used
by
this
divine
Artist
,
would
so
enlarge
the
extent
of
my
discourse
,
as
the
relation
would
appeare
no
lesse
uselesse
to
the
Hearer
,
than
tedious
to
the
Relator
.
To
avoid
then
all
frivolous
and
fruitlesse
ambages
,
which
are
usually
so
far
from
dir●…cting
or
enlightning
the
understandi●…g
,
as
they
are
made
rather
for
distracting
or
burthening
our
apprehension
,
I
shall
〈◊〉
returne
u●…to
your
Grace●…
●…
just
account
of
the
benefits
I
have
received
,
the
incomparable
comforts
I
have
conceived
;
all
which
may
bee
easily
gathered
by
those
many
infirmities
whereto
before
I
stood
engaged
,
and
whereof
,
(
thanks
to
the
Supreame
Deity
)
I
am
now
perfectly
cured
.
It
is
not
unknowne
unto
my
Soveraigness●…
,
with
what
distempers
I
was
seized
;
insomuch
as
,
I
never
came
to
the
Bench
of
Iustice
,
but
I
shewed
some
apparent
argument
or
other
of
my
weaknes
:
Which
caused
some
of
my
nearest
to
imagine
,
that
I
was
surely
either
bewitched
or
possessed
.
Your
Sacred
Medall
(
the
exquisitest
Master-peece
of
art
that
ever
Arcady
produced
)
being
moulded
of
pure
gold
did
so
sympathize
with
my
partiall-gilt
nature
,
as
I
could
never
looke
upon
the
Statue
,
but
my
teeth
did
water
:
No
other
Object
could
take
me
,
so
much
was
I
devoted
to
that
Plebeian
Idolatry
.
As
for
my
hands
,
I
could
never
shut
them
,
so
much
had
hope
of
gaine
enlarged
them
:
for
I
imagined
,
if
they
were
shut
,
how
could
they
partake
in
any
booty
,
or
receive
any
competible
share
in
a
Clients
enforced
bounty
.
For
my
Lungs
,
they
were
so
decayed
,
as
an
Asthmaticall
Apnaea
had
surprized
them
.
Besides
,
a
dangerous
swelling
in
my
throat
,
when
Saturne
had
predominance
over
the
Clientall
regiment
;
with
a
desperate
Migrim
,
which
averted
mine
Eare
from
the
Suit
of
a
just
,
but
poore
Complainant
,
daily
threatned
a
dissolution
to
this
my
weake
earthly
Structure
.
Yet
could
these
constant
Nuntio's
of
my
frailty
,
little
weane
mee
from
mine
accustomed
folly
.
For
though
age
had
wrought
many
deep
furrowes
in
my
face
;
and
sundry
growing
infirmities
incident
to
age
,
had
enfeebled
nature
,
and
engaged
mee
to
a
continuate
distemper
:
ye●…
in
this
my
decrepit
doting
ag●…
,
was
I
infinitely
taken
with
three
impudent
Curtezans
;
whose
wooing-winning
enticements
had
so
far
prevailed
with
mee
,
as
that
day
seemed
tedious
,
which
I
spent
not
in
Philia's
,
Du●…noia's
,
or
Analeutheria's
company
.
Which
,
though
some
thought
I
did
purposely
to
improve
and
enrich
my
state
;
sure
I
am
,
their
amorous
embraces
,
and
incessant
attendance
,
much
weakned
and
impaired
my
strength
.
Now
observe
the
rare
effects
of
this
divine
art
!
By
the
benefit
I
received
from
Aesculapius
,
to
whose
especiall
Care
your
Grace
recommended
our
Cure
,
I
loath
nothing
more
than
what
I
did
formerly
love
;
my
thirst
,
which
before
was
onely
for
Gold
,
now
extends
solely
to
the
publike
good
.
Now
,
would
your
Ladiship
know
the
meanes
which
brought
mee
first
to
an
hate
of
this
fury
!
Bee
pleased
●…o
heare
mee
,
and
you
shall
receive
a
true
relation
from
mee
.
After
such
time
,
as
this
divine
Artist
Aesculapius
had
prepared
my
body
,
and
applied
divers
soveraigne
receits
for
my
more
speedy
recovery
;
and
amongst
others
,
certaine
gilded
pils
,
which
procured
in
mee
so
violent
a
vomit
,
as
I
could
not
for
long
time
aft●…r
looke
upon
that
Object
,
but
I
did
highly
distaste
it
:
He
bethought
himselfe
by
what
meanes
hee
might
worke
the
deepest
impression
upon
my
imagination
;
which
he
observed
to
bee
so
clouded
and
troubled
,
as
nothing
came
from
me
,
but
distractedly
and
indisposedly
uttered
.
Hee
observed
,
as
the
Eyes
were
the
members
of
the
body
,
so
they
were
the
windowes
of
the
minde
;
nay
,
that
the
Eye
was
a
living
glasse
,
or
such
a
representative
mirrour
,
as
by
reflexion
of
conceit
,
the
Delinquent
might
soonest
come
to
the
knowledge
,
acknowledgement
&
amendment
of
his
errour
.
For
this
end
he
d●…vised
and
artfully
contrived
certaine
curious
Emblemes
presented
to
life
;
which
were
discovered
unto
mee
in
an
Ovall
;
where
I
might
apparently
see
a
Picture
,
as
neare
resembling
mine
owne
person
,
in
favour
and
feature
,
as
could
bee
imitated
by
art
,
or
first
initiated
by
nature
.
No
part
of
all
mine
habit
undisplayed
;
no
action
or
gesture
by
mee
used
,
but
there
presented
.
So
as
,
in
very
truth
,
I
either
thought
that
there
was
some
other
Metoxos
besides
▪
mee
;
or
else
that
some
had
assumed
Metoxos
habit
and
person
,
purposely
to
delude
mee
.
But
how
doe
you
thinke
was
the
posture
of
this
picture
framed
?
In
what
manner
disposed
?
This
Metoxos
,
as
hee
was
thus
portrayed
and
personated
,
seemed
to
mee
bound
to
a
flaming
stake
;
and
those
three
Curtezans
,
on
which
I
so
much
doated
while
I
was
distempered
,
standing
there
like
distracted
Furies
,
haled
downe
whole
Laddles
of
moulten
Gold
downe
his
throat
;
ever
and
annon
bellowing
forth
these
words
with
a
fearful
voice
;
Quench
thy
thirst
Metoxos
;
here
is
gold
for
thee
;
partiality
deserves
such
a
partiall-gilt
bounty
.
This
Presentment
did
not
a
little
startle
mee
;
so
as
comparing
this
feature
with
mine
owne
;
his
action
gesture
and
posture
with
mine
owne
;
those
three
Curtezans
,
which
I
tendred
as
mine
owne
,
with
those
exquisitest
torments
inflicted
upon
that
Image
which
resembled
mine
,
as
nearly
as
I
mine
owne
;
I
begunne
to
recollect
my
discatered
senses
,
and
in
this
manner
to
expostulate
with
my selfe
.
Metoxos
so
fully
to
life
portrayed
!
And
my
whole
life
in
this
image
of
Metoxos
so
lively
displayed
?
Sure
there
is
something
in
it
,
which
,
as
yet
,
I
little
dreame
of
.
There
is
,
questionlesse
,
some
secret
mysterious
Morall
cov●…rtly
shadowed
in
this
Presentment
:
well
,
I
purpo●…e
to
dive
farther
yet
into
the
depth
of
this
Aenigmaticall
Riddle
.
Discusse
then
each
particular
,
to
the
end
thou
maist
become
the
more
authenticke
Expositor
.
What
may
seeme
to
bee
meant
by
these
three
Curtezans
,
and
those
Laddles
of
moulten
gold
,
which
they
are
incessantly
powring
downe
the
throat
of
this
personated
Metoxos
?
Are
not
these
the
reall
personages
of
those
amorous
Curtezans
,
which
thou
sometimes
so
miserably
affected
?
Yet
,
are
these
they
,
by
whom
Metoxos
becomes
wofully
tormented
.
But
whence
the
cause
?
Eye
the
impreze
,
and
it
will
informe
thee
:
FOR
PARTIALITY
.
Examine
then
every
circumstance
,
and
see
if
the
shadow
agree
not
with
the
substance
.
Reflect
upon
thy selfe
,
Metoxos
,
and
observe
well
if
these
have
not
proper
allusion
to
thee
!
Thine
owne
forme
thou
here
seest
undistinguishably
concurring
;
thy
three
amorous
Dalilahs
attending
and
tormenting
;
with
Partiality
,
the
cause
producing
,
why
these
torments
are
inflicting
.
Consider
likewise
,
how
torments
are
ever
inflicted
,
by
that
subject
whereon
wee
stand
most
affected
.
And
what
was
it
Metoxos
,
that
in
the
whole
course
of
thy
distempered
justice
,
thou
most
affected
?
What
was
it
wherto
thou
stood
most
engaged
?
Was
it
not
Gold
,
Metoxos
?
yes
sure
;
that
was
the
bait
which
did
only
take
mee
:
It
was
my
use
to
poise
the
worth
of
the
cause
,
by
the
weight
of
the
purse
.
Gold
was
the
Cement
,
which
souldred
Partiality
with
Iudgement
.
O
divine
Embleme
!
This
shall
worke
more
rare
effects
upon
my
corrupted
sen●…e
,
than
any
other
Physicall
ingredience
.
It
shall
bee
my
constant
resolve
to
loath
,
what
I
did
so
miserably
love
;
that
I
may
fall
in
love
,
with
what
I
did
so
desperately
loath
.
Discretion
shall
give
direction
to
my
affection
;
I
purpose
henceforth
never
so
intentively
to
fix
upon
the
bye
,
as
to
become
forgetfull
of
the
maine
.
These
presentments
tendred
mee
by
so
judicious
and
exquisite
an
Artist
,
shall
by
the
power
of
him
that
made
mee
,
worke
such
impr●…srons
in
mee
,
as
no
time
shall
raze
out
the
memory
of
so
impressive
a
character
;
nor
decline
mee
from
being
just
,
for
either
lucre
,
feare
or
favour
.
Nor
was
this
Embleme
onely
there
expressed
;
but
Midas
likewise
,
with
his
Asses
eares
,
to
life
presented
;
who
desiring
whatsoever
he
touched
,
might
to
Gold
bee
turned
,
received
his
wish
in
his
dish
,
and
so
for
want
of
naturall
nourishment
,
became
famished
.
But
this
wrought
no
such
effect
upon
my
conceit
,
as
did
the
former
:
for
so
strangely
was
I
unnaturalized
,
or
estranged
rather
from
my
na●…ive
and
in-bred
disposition
,
as
nothing
appeared
more
distastfull
to
my
sight
,
than
the
Object
of
Gold
▪
euer
dreaming
of
those
fearefull
torments
,
which
those
my
darling
Dalilahs
,
complete
Curtezans
,
inflicted
upon
tha●…
Picture
,
which
so
nearly
re●…embled
Metoxos
feature
.
These
soveraigne
effects
partly
derived
from
those
precedent
Receits
,
partly
from
these
impressive
Emblemes
;
made
mee
remember
that
Physicall
Maxime
so
often
delivered
,
by
Aesculapius
our
great
Professor
:
When
a
man
bleeds
at
the
nose
,
and
through
abundance
of
bloud
,
is
brought
in
danger
of
his
life
,
the
Physitian
lets
him
bloud
in
his
arme
,
to
turne
the
course
of
the
bloud
another
way
:
If
love
issue
out
in
too
violent
a
streame
,
it
is
to
be
cooled
by
a
temperate
expostulation
with
fancie
:
or
else
,
by
fixing
our
eye
upon
some
more
at●…ractive
Object
,
divert
the
course
of
that
madding
Passion
.
Now
Madam
,
such
shall
ever
bee
my
constant
humility
,
as
I
must
solely
ascribe
this
incomparable
benefit
of
my
Cure
,
to
Aeculapius
incessant
Care
:
Whose
exquisite
art
produced
this
incredible
worke
.
It
rests
then
,
that
howsoever
my
Soveraignesse
bee
pleased
to
dispose
of
mee
,
i●…
shall
bee
my
fixt
intention
,
utterly
to
di●…claime
my
former
folly
:
While
I

to
Isotes
whose
company
I
onely
admit
to
rela●…e
my

Argument

Isotes
in
musicall

relates
the
incredible
effects
of
Metoxos
Cure
;
the
modera●…i
on
or
attemperature
of
his
desires
;
his

of

POESY
II.
SEE
,
Lady
,
see
,
Metoxos
state
Transform'd
from
what
it
was
of
late
!
That
J●…undise
eye
,
wh●…ch
could
behold
No
object
but
refined
gold
;
That
hand
,
which
like
a
thirsty
grave
,
Was
ever
open
to
receive
;
That
heart
,
whose
native
tincture
spilt
,
Was
chang'd
into
a
partiall-gilt
;
That
tongue
,
which
knew
not
how
to
speake
,
Till
chinke
made
way
the
string
to
breake
:
Can
looke
,
touch
,
like
,
and
make
discourse
,
With
free
and
unconstrained
force
.
Such
rare
effects
your
Grace
shall
find●…
In
cure
of
your
Me●…oxos
minde
.
Vertue
his
spotlesse
brest
inspires
With
moderation
of
desires
;
Poore
though
in
state
,
his
minde
is
pu●…e
,
Stor'd
with
the
sweet
attemp'rature
Of
choicest
graces
that
can
sute
A
man
to
make
him
absolute
.
What
meats
in
him
distemper
bred
,
His
taste
hath
quite
dis-relished
.
Naught
hee
affects
but
what
may
give
Meanes
to
direct
him
how
to
live
.
Receive
him
then
into
your
grace
,
His
vertues
will
deserve
his
place
.
Nor
can
you
ever
more
improve
Your
honour
,
than
by
good
mens
love
:
For
when
your
grace
to
these
is
showne
,
You
give
improvement
to
your
owne
.
Advance
him
then
;
it
is
not
chance
But
choice
which
merit
should
advance
.
Argument
.
Themista
,
sufficiently
perswaded
by
what
shee
heares
,
joyes
much
in
M●…toxos
recovery
;
Shee
causeth
Epimo●…os
,
her
second
Consul
,
to
advance
himselfe
before
her
;
hee
returnes
an
ample
testimonie
of

Theorie
;
in
a
sensible
and
passionate
manner
,
hee
discovers
the
effects
of
his
former
infirmity
,
with
pregn●…nt
demonstrances
of
his
recovery

PROSE
II.
NO
more
,
Isotes
,
(
said
Themista
)
wee
are
now
altogether
confident
of
Metoxos
successive
Cure
;
whom
to
adva●…ce
,
(
if
his
infirmity
admit
no
relapse
)
shall
bee
our
especiall
Care
.
Nor
can
wee
joy
in
any
melody
comparable
to
this
of
Metoxos
recovery
.
But
we
will
see
(
quoth
shee
)
whether
this
happy
effect
hath
befallen
the
rest
of
our
Consuls
;
and
with
that
,
causing
Epimonos
,
her
Secondary
,
to
advance
himselfe
before
her
;
Shee
willed
him
to
returne
the
manner
of
his
recovery
;
with
what
especiall
receits
were
applied
to
cure
his
Malady
.
Epimonos
,
whose
long
▪
grounded
pertinacy
,
hade
made
most
of
his
friends
despaire
of
remedy
;
in
an
affable
and
generous
manner
,
making
three
low
Congies
before
hee
approached
Themista's
presence
,
addressed
himselfe
in
this
discourse
unto
his
Soveraignnesse
.
Doe
not
(
imparalleld
Princesse
)
take
mee
now
for
that
peevish
&
perverse
Epimonos
,
whom
I
did
once
too
actually
personate
;
which
Presentment
made
me
most
unfortunate
.
I
have
now
put
off
that
habit
;
nor
will
I
ever
(
by
divine
assistance
)
reassume
it
.
I
confesse
,
Madam
;
nor
shall
it
repent
mee
to
confesse
it
,
so
I
repent
mee
of
it
,
and
resolve
never
to
incurre
it
,
that
my
long
habituate
infirmity
,
by
continuance
,
had
brought
mee
to
a
meere
insensiblity
.
Such
a
stiffnesse
,
or
unpliablenesse
I
found
in
every
part
:
that
though
I
felt
my selfe
unwealdly
;
every
faculty
most
averse
from
performing
her
proper
duty
:
yet
in
●…his
case
(
see
my
prevaricate
misery
!
)
would
not
I
either
be
led
or
driven
by
any
.
The
more
I
was
moved
,
the
lesse
I
felt
;
so
insensible
grew
I
of
my
present
estate
.
An
incessant
buzzing
I
had
got
in
my
head
,
which
barrocadoed
mine
Eare
from
inclining
to
any
ones
opinion
but
mine
owne
.
This
t●…at
ever-living
Artist
,
to
whose
divine
Cure
wee
were
all
recommended
,
had
no
sooner
observed
,
than
hee
prescribed
such
choice
Physicall
directions
to
cure
my
growing
infirmity
,
that
I
became
within
short
space
to
have
some
little
feeling
of
my selfe
,
from
which
I
was
before
so
estranged
,
as
I
held
my selfe
most
healthfull
,
when
most
distempered
;
best
resolved
,
when
most
distracted
;
and
seemingly
in
my
perplexed
estate
most
happy
,
when
most
distressed
.
My
Morning
draughts
,
which
used
to
bee
F●…ntineake
,
were
resolved
into
Diet-drinks
,
strongly
tempered
with
the
cooling
juyce
of
Eucampes
,
with
other
simples
immixed
●…o
allay
the
distempered
heat
of
my
bloud
;
and
to
restore
nature
so
much
weakned
.
Having
made
this
introduction
to
his
Cure
,
and
now
set
mee
on
my
feet
,
by
the
continuance
of
his
diligence
and
care
;
to
the
end
I
might
come
to
a
more
full
survey
and
discovery
of
mine
owne
folly
,
he
framed
this
device
:
That
one
Demophon
,
who
was
naturally
of
an
humour
different
to
all
others
,
should
bee
in
a
Shrine
portrayed
,
and
in
a
window
presented
,
where
I
made
my
Prospect
.
But
so
nearely
resembling
mine
owne
Person
,
was
this
featu●…e
,
as
I
should
disclaime
mine
owne
P●…ysiognomy
,
to
confesse
any
resemblance
liker
.
Long
a●…d
intentively
did
I
eye
the
Picture
.
Nothing
could
I
find
in
it
,
but
might
personate
my selfe
;
nor
ought
in
my selfe
,
which
might
not
allude
to
it
.
So
as
,
not
able
to
containe
my selfe
any
longer
;
nor
to
conceale
my
thoughts
from
my
picture
;
like
another
Narcissus
,
not
doating
but
doubting
,
or
perplexedly
discoursing
with
his
shadow
,
I
addresse
my
demands
in
this
manner
.
How
's
this
?
One
sweating
in
ashade
,
and
shaking
in
the
Sunne
!
This
sure
,
is
meant
by
Demophon
,
yet
doth
the
Embleme
beare
the
figure
of
Epimonos
.
And
rightly
so
it
may
;
for
who
ever
,
being
man
,
was
more
averse
from
the
nature
,
more
contrary
to
the
humour
of
man
?
What
was
it
that
eve●…
yet
plea●…
thy
conceit
,
which
thou
saw
pleasing
to
another
?
Or
what
ever
afforded
thee
delight
,
and
complide
wi●…h
anothers
conceit
?
Nay
,
un
rivet
the
secret
Cabine●…
of
thy
retired'st
thoughts
,
and
observe
how
much
thou
hast
abused
the
State
,
depraved
thy
Consul-sea●…
by
adhering
too
much
to
thy
sel●…e
,
and
perverting
justice
,
by
opposing
others
to
please
thy selfe
?
What
Edict
didst
thou
ever
heare
published
?
What
Direction
for
State
government
ever
divulged
?
What
Iudgement
upon
a
convicted
Delinquent
pronounced
?
Or
what
Act
soever
publikely
concluded
,
which
thou
traduced
not
,
because
by
others
more
wise
,
but
lesse
opinionate
,
approved
?
What
a
strange
Mould
,
Epimonos
,
was
this
,
wherein
thou
wer●…
casten
,
thus
to
dislike
,
what
others
liked
;
thus
to
affect
,
what
others
hated
?
was
thy
wit
either
so
quicke
and
pregnant
?
or
thy
judgement
so
strong
and
constant
?
Or
thine
experience
so
transcendent
?
Or
thy
p●…rson
so
precedent
,
as
all

No

O
how

Womans
strength
consists
in

should

Protogenes
could
never
hold
his
hand
from
the
Picture
;
nor

envious
eye

Is
it
wisdome
enough
to

,
or
to
oppose
what
others
approve
?
Bee
the
Antipodes
in
this
only
happier
than
we
,
because
they
walke
in
an
opposite
course
against

?
Say

say
,
Epimonos
,
how
many
poore
Delinquents
;
nay

It
is
the
saying
of
a
Philopher
,
that
every
one
should
have
a
f●…iend
,
and
an
enemie
;
that
his
friend
may
tell
him
the
truth
;
and
hi●…
enemie
make
him
mor●…
observant
of
his
wayes
.
Yea
,
that
his
friend
might
seasonably
correct
him
;
and
his
enemie
by
his
indig●…ities
exercise
him
.
Bu●…
how
●…arre
became
I
e●…tranged
from
this
Philosophicall
Tenet
!
for
as
he●…
could
not
possibly
bee
my
friend
,
who
applied
not
himselfe
to
my
opinion
;
so
could
hee
bee
no
lesse
than
mine
enemie
,
who
sought
to
mould
mee
to
his
instruction
.
My
friend
and
Monitor
hee
could
not
bee
;
how
might
he
then
correct
mee
?
My
Enemie
and
improver
hee
could
not
bee
;
how
might
hee
then
exercise
mee
?
It
is
true
,
that
th●…
Prienean
Sage
wished
rather
to
be
a
Iudge
amongst
●…is
●…oes
〈◊〉
his
friends
:
and
his
reason
was
,
that
the
affection
,
and
intimacy
,
hee
bore
to
his
friends
,
might
incline
him
to
connivence
;
whereas
,
the
jealousie
h●…e
had
of
his
foes
,
would
cause
him
to
bee
more
cautious
in
the
ex●…cution
of
Iustice
.
But
what
power
had
these
respects
with
mee
?
It
was
neither
friend
that
I
esteemed
,
nor
foe
that
I
feared
,
but
my
darling
Will
,
whereto
I
beoame
solely
wedded
;
and
which
to
second
,
my
best
endevours
were
ever
addressed
.
I
have
oftentimes
wondred
at
the
patience
of
an
indulgent
Magistrate
,
to
give
such
〈◊〉
of
speech
even
to
a
pretended
Delinquent
:
or
to
suffer
himselfe
to
bee
opposed
by
way
os
reason
;
as
if
his
place
were
not
of
sufficient
strength
to
exercise
his
power
without
farther
reason
.
And
as
children
are
tied
to
rules
in
their
arguing
;
so
I
held
th●…m
childish
Consuls
,
who
stood
confined
to
these
restrictions
in
their
judging
.
But
now
,
(
thanks
to
Aesculapius
d●…vinest
Theorie
!
)
my
outward
conformity
closing
so
sweetly
wi●…h
inward
unity
,
may
assure
my
Soveraignesse
of
an
infallible
recovery
.
I
am
taught
now
,
how
to
sweat
in
the
Sunne
,
and
shake
in
the
shade
;
to
submit
my
opinion
to
others
judgement
;
to
disclaime
mine
owne
for
insufficient
;
to
desist
from
standing
too
long
in
argument
,
and
to
encline
to
reason
,
whensoever
produced
.
All
which
,
as
ample
testimonies
of
Aescul●…pius
Care
,
and
pregnant
demonstrances
of
my
Cu●…
;
I
have
here
no
lesse
briefly
,
than
plainly
returned
▪
to
you
,
divine
Lady
,
with
the
manner
of
my
recovery
,
the
benefit
whereof
I
freely
ascribe
to
your
furtherance
and
bounty
.
Nor
shall
you
ever
have
cause
to
tax
mee
(
if
so
you
please
to
imploy
mee
)
either
of
pertinacy
,
or
of
any
il●…egality
;
for
by
all
my
hopes
I
vow
,
since
these
incredible
effects
were
wrought
on
me
;
I
have
disvalued
mine
owne
opinion
;
beene
so
jealous
of
mine
owne
weaknesse
;
as
I
●…ave
applied
my selfe
to
nothing
more
,
than
a
seeming
privacie
or
retirednesse
●…rom
businesse
.
Howbeit
,
as
I
am
not
borne
for
my selfe
,
but
for
her
honour
,
by
whose
meanes
I
am
now
come
to
myselfe
,
Madam
ingage
me
,
wherein
,
if
you
shall
conceit
that
my
employments
may
fall
short
from
perfecting
ought
which
may
redound
to
your
reputation
:
I
shall
here
become
silent
,
by
a
modest
restraint
of
selfeapprovement
,
and
ingeniously
appeale
to
Epieices
opinion
.
Argument
.
Epieices
reports
how
much
Epimonos
is
altered
;
how
his
unsociable
nature
is
attempered
;
how
observant
hee
is
to
all
,
and
how
desirous
to
improve
the
good
of
all
;
and
admiring
how
Art
could
possibly
season
pertinacy
with
so
much
Lenity
:
Hee
assures
Themista
,
that
shee
may
rest
confident
in
the
affiance
of
so
constant
a
servant
.
POESIE
III.
MAdam
observe
,
if
you
can
finde
a
purer
minde
!
Or
with
selecter
graces
fill'd
or
lesse
selfe-will'd
!
How
much
hee
's
altered
in
state
from
that
of
late
!
Harsh
was
his
nature
,
now
as
milde
as
any
childe
;
Unsociable
once
was
hee
as
one
could
bee
;
Now
hee
's
full
of
sweet
remorse
and
choice
discourse
,
And
of
such
a
temper
too
as
I
may
vow
;
None
would
take
him
,
to
see
him
passe
,
for
th'
man
hee
was
.
Observant
is
hee
unto
all
that
deigne
to
call
,
Nought
here
on
Earth
more
wins
his
love
than
to
improve
The
good
of

PROSE
III.
A
Maxime
there
is
(
said
Th●…mista
)
and
wee
finde
it
now
fitly
closing
with
our
conceit
:
"
what
wee
affect
,
exceeds
all
estimate
;
Now
,
what
was
it
on
Earth
wee
more
affected
,
than
to
see
this
our
selfe●…pinionate
and
distempered
Epinomos
so
rectified
.
as
to
conforme
his
will
to
anothers
bent
?
What
might
comparably
so
overjoy
us
as
to
become
an
ocular
witn●…sse
of
such
a
successive
,
but
unexpected
change
?
Never
did
teeming
moth●…r
conceive
more
comfort
in
the
view
of
●…er
long
laboured
birth
;
nor
the
hazardou●…
Merchant
in
his
safe
arrivall
to
land
;
nor
the
industrious
Husbandman
,
who
is
frui●…full
in
hope
,
before
hee
partake
the
benefit
or
fruit
of
his
Crop
,
than
wee
in
the
apprehension
of
this
so
much
desired
change
.
It
is
most
true
▪
that
without
the
influence
of
divine
grace
,
we
can
doe
nothing
,
no
more
than
the
bird
can
flie
without
wings
,
the
ship
saile
withou●…
wind
or
tide
,
the
body
move
withou●…
the
soule
.
From
which
▪
how
much
is
hee
estranged
,
whose
opinionate
pertinacy
him
confident
of
his
owne
makes
strength
,
and
consequently
a
dangerous
Pione●…
to
his
owne
estate
.
We
know
right
well
,
that
it
is
one
thing
to
fall
into
light
sins
through
occasion
onely
,
or
human●…
frailty
:
and
another
thing
●…o
fall
through
affected
negligence
and
security
:
bu●…
worst
of
all
to
fall
through
a
precipitate
will
,
and
malltious
obstinacie
.
Needs
then
must
it
over-joy
us
,
to
●…ee
one
(
and
one
whom
wee
held
so
tender
)
after
so
perillous
a
fall
to
recover
,
and
in
his
recovery
,
quite
to
shake
off
his
distemper
.
And
may
heaven
so
propitiously
smile
on
our
wishes
,
that
the
like
effect
my
bee
produced
from
the
rest
of
these
our
patientConsuls
;
whose
late
infirmities
,
as
they
did
much
afflict
us
,
so
shall
the
visible
arguments
of
their
recovery
,
no
lesse
entrance
us
.
This
said
,
shee
willed
Vperephanos
,
(
whose
Cure
was
conceived
to
be
of
greatest
difficulty
)
to
appeare
in
publike
presence
,
and
shew
some
apparant
effects
of
his
attempered
malady
.
Whose
humble
Obeisance
,
at
the
very
first
blush
,
infinitely
tooke
her
:
Wondring
more
at
his
lowly
carriage
,
affable
countenance
,
and
winning
observance
,
than
at
any
of
all
her
recovered
Patients
.
But
being
againe
required
by
his
Soveraignesse
to
relate
the
mediate
or
effectuall
meanes
for
cure
of
his
distemper
;
with
a
composed
gravity
,
and
well-seasoned
humility
,
hee
proceeded
in
this
manner
.
It
is
not
unknowne
(
Madam
)
to
any
personage
o●…
quality
within
your
whole
State
,
how
that
my
distemper
was
not
naturall
but
accidentall
;
for
a
long
time
did
I
sit
in
the
seat
of
Iustice
;
du●…ing
which
time
I
appeale
to
such
as
then
knew
mee
,
whether
I
discharged
not
my
Place
with
all
integrity
and
uprightnesse
.
Vertue
I
ever
cherished
;
Vice
I
chastised
;
the
good
I
encouraged
;
the
evill
I
disheartned
,
and
the
publike
good
secured
.
But
being
in
that
populous
State
where
I
was
,
retaining
that
name
which
I
had
,
and
transported
with
that
applause
I
heard
;
one
morning
walking
forth
to
take
the
ayre
,
(
no
common
ayre
,
but
the
breath
of
popular
applause
)
it
chanced
that
I
was
bit
by
a
mad
Dog
,
(
a
pricke
ear'd
Cur
of
Phro●…ema's
Litter
)
whose
poysonous
fang
begun
so
to
rankle
,
as
the
venome
dispersed
it selfe
thorow
every
part
,
till
at
last
it
seized
on
my
very
braine
;
and
so
drove
mee
into
a
miserable
distraction
.
"
I
thought
every
shady-tufted
branch
,
forced
by
a
pleasing
gale
,
bowed
it selfe
with
a
low
salute
to
give
mee
a
Congie
.
Those
ayerie
Quiristers
,
the
Birds
,
chanted
and
chirped
out
my
praise
.
In
a
word
,
so
terribly
was
I
madded
,
so
highly
distempered
,
as
my
fellow-Consuls
forbore
to
sit
with
mee
;
my
intimately-professed
friends
withdrew
themselves
from
mee
,
after
such
time
as
they
had
laboured
to
winne
and
weane
mee
,
but
could
not
prevaile
with
mee
.
Onely
some
Alleyes
of
Thopeias
,
meer●…
insinuating
Foists
,
(
as
I
afterwards
well
perceived
)
clunge
neare
mee
,
feeding
,
like
Horseleaches
,
on
my
distemper
;
and
raising
themselves
by
my
ruine
and
dishonour
.
Yet
were
these
my
friends
on
which
I
fawned
;
the
shadowes
which
I
followed
;
the
Snakes
I
fostered
:
all
which
found
fresh
fuell
to
my
furie
;
new
matter
to
my
humour
,
to
feed
my
distemper
.
Thus
did
I
rove
;
thus
did
I
range
;
no
constant
nor
setled
thought
lodged
in
mee
.
I
was
so
blowne
up
with
the
bladder
of
Alazoneuma
,
as
I
mounted
aloft
with
the
wings
of
selfe-conceit
;
imagining
this
inferior
Orbe
to
be
a
Spheere
too
low
for
my
unconfined
spirit
.
What
others
(
were
it
never
so
usefull
to
State
,
or
conducing
to
publike
good
)
propounded
,
my
irreiragable
opinion
sleighted
.
For
that
deare
Minion
whom
I
so
religiously
served
,
and
to
whose
observance
I
had
endeered
my
nearest
resolves
,
had
so
bewitched
mee
,
as
no
power
could
countermand
the
power
of
my
will
;
or
encroach
so
farre
on
the
bounds
of
my
irresistable
authority
;
as
those
whose
better
tempered
thoughts
well
deserved
priority
in
opinion
,
were
disesteemed
by
the
precipitate
torrent
of
my
ambition
.
Being
thus
carried
on
the
wings
of
the
wind
,
I
became
so
hardned
through
the
habit
of
mine
infirmity
,
as
nothing
better
relished
mee
,
than
to
feed
my
distemper
with
whatsoev●…r
might
best
agree
with
the
quality
of
mine
indisposed
humour
.
But
this
had
our
exquisite
,
and
fame-eternized
.
Artist
no
sooner
discovered
in
me
,
than
according
to
your
directions
(
most
divine
Soveraignesse
)
hee
addressed
himselfe
to
my
Cure
.
Which
to
effect
the
better
,
hee
first
sought
out
the
cause
of
my
distemper
:
this
found
,
hee
applied
such
soveraigne
receits
to
my
long
exulcerate
sore
,
as
the
expeditenesse
of
his
Cure
,
expressed
the
infinitenesse
of
his
Care
:
all
which
(
to
observe
in
my
discourse
some
methodicall
decencie
or
order
)
was
performed
in
this
manner
.
Hee
first
applied
to
mee
certaine
medicines
of
a
corrading
quality
,
to
bring
mee
to
a
more
sensible
feeling
of
my selfe
;
for
all
that
time
,
wherein
I
laboured
of
my
distemper
,
I
had
no
feeling
at
all
of
my
infirmity
,
and
therefore
indifferent
,
or
rather
secure
for
any
remedy
.
For
being
bit
(
as
I
said
before
)
by
a
mad
Dogge
,
whose
rancorous
and
envenomed
tooth
had
spred
a
dangerous
malignant
humour
thorow
every
veine
of
mine
infected
body
;
that
uncomparable
Artist
caused
the
Dogges
liver
to
bee
smally
minced
,
and
with
the
prime
leaves
of
the
low
shrub
Tapeinotes
,
to
bee
mixt
:
which
was
my
break-fast
for
many
Mornings
together
,
till
I
begunne
to
have
some
little
feeling
of
my
distemper
.
But
subject
I
was
ever
and
anon
to
fearefull
relapses
and
recidivations
:
Which
my
Physitian
soone
perceiving
,
caused
mee
for
certaine
dayes
together
to
bee
tied
chi●…ne
deepe
in
Lazarllio's
Poole
,
where
I
was
kept
to
a
low
Diet
,
purposely
to
coole
my
inflamed
bloud
,
and
qualifie
my
violent
distemper
,
occasioned
by
the
infection
of
my
Liver
.
For
I
must
freely
confesse
,
that
an
ill
Liver
was
the
onely
occasion
o●…
all
my
distemper
.
By
this
time
had
I
suffered
many
a
cold
Bath
:
so
as
my
bloud
became
cooled
;
my
inflammation
ceased
,
my
corrupt
Liver
restored
;
while
one
day
,
in
a
private
Arbour
where
I
usually
reposed
,
after
my
time
of
recovery
,
I
might
behold
a
curious
Tablet
,
purposely
devised
by
Aesculapius
especiall
direction
,
as
I
afterwards
perceived
.
Wherein
was
engraven
Tarquinius
Superbus
,
to
his
full
body
;
in
his
posture
walking
,
and
with
a
little
rod
lopping
the
tops
of
Poppies
:
while
on
the
other
side
of
this
Tablet
,
stood
Atlas
supporting
the
world
;
but
under
his
burden
,
at
the
first
seemingly
fainting
,
and
afterwards
utterly
failing
and
falling
.
Having
seriously
fixed
mine
eye
on
these
Statues
,
I
begun
to
reflect
upon
my selfe
,
and
to
examine
mine
owne
thoughts
,
whether
there
were
not
something
that
might
have
proper
relation
to
my selfe
in
the
delineature
of
those
features
:
And
thus
I
privately
conversed
with
mine
owne
affections
.
Say
,
Vperephanos
,
is
there
nothing
here
presented
to
thine
eye
,
which
thou
maist
not
u●…efully
convey
to
thine
heart
!
Is
not
this
very
Tablet
,
a
mirrour
of
thy
late
distempered
humour
?
Canst
thou
eye
this
Tablet
,
and
not
discerne
thy selfe
in
it
?
Or
observe
this
Embleme
,
and
peruse
it
without
a
blush
,
seeing
it
displayes
thine
own
shame
?
Canst
thou
eye
these
mounting
Poppies
,
whose
height
surpasse
others
,
how
soone
they
are
pruned
;
and
can
thy
boundlesse
ambi●…ion
or
selfe-admiring
hold
it selfe
secured
?
By
these
Poppies
were
shadowed
eminent
Peeres
,
whose
rising
height
was
Tarquins
eternall
hate
;
so
as
,
their
height
was
the
sole
occasion
of
their
sinister
fate
.
Inferiours
were
secure
,
while
these
●…uffered
;
exempt
from
danger
,
while
these
perished
.
Had
their
heads
never
mounted
above
others
,
they
had
been
as
safe
from
perill
as
others
.
Apply
this
Embleme
to
thy selfe
;
for
Narcissus
never
had
a
fuller
view
of
his
owne
beauty
in
the
Fount
,
by
which
hee
perished
;
than
thou
hast
here
of
thine
owne
deformity
,
by
which
thou
maist
bee
truly
cautioned
.
For
say
,
Vperephanos
,
who
ever
mounted
higher
in
selfe-conceit
?
Who
more
selfe-admiring
,
or
others
lesse
esteeming
?
yet
in
this
thou
fell
short
of
their
goodnesse
and
happinesse
,
whom
thou
observest
in
this
Embleme
shadowed
.
For
the●…e
Pe●…res
whom
Tarquin
gave
direction
to
his
Sextus
,
in
so
covert
and
darke
a
manner
to
cut
off
,
were
not
onely
great
,
but
good
.
Their
glory
was
their
Countreyes
honour
,
which
they
ever
laboured
to
advance
by
their
owne
danger
.
Their
desires
had
a
more
glorious
Object
,
than
popular
praise
:
so
as
,
with
a
sweet
,
though
a
sad
Evening
,
they
closed
their
dayes
.
Whereas
,
they
delight
was
not
to
be
really
good
,
nor
improve
the
State
,
but
to
bee
great
,
though
it
were
to
the
ruine
and
subversion
of
the
State
.
O
the
misery
of
an
hot
and
high
spirit
!
Where
our
owne
aimes
are
meerly
titular
,
affecting
nothing
more
than
to
bee
popular
.
Reflect
then
,
unhappy
Vperephanos
upon
thine
owne
disposition
,
and
in
this
Embleme
,
eye
the
discovery
of
thine
owne
person
.
Desire
rather
to
bee
ranked
amongst
those
low
Tamrisks
,
than
rising
Poplars
.
But
if
this
Embl●…me
,
or
historicall
allusion
can
worke
no
deepe
impression
on
thee
;
observe
that
por●…raiture
of
Atlas
,
and
then
see
if
thy
life
bee
not
personated
in
that
Fable
.
Atlas
is
heere
shrinking
under
his
burden
:
and
to
whom
may
this
allude
more
properly
than
thy selfe
?
For
how
long
,
(
miserably-deluded
soule
)
hast
thou
supposed
out
of
thine
arrogant
,
and
selfe-admiring
conceit
,
that
the
whole
Fabricke
of
this
Vniverse
solely
leaned
on
thy
shoulders
;
and
that
it
could
not
subsist
without
thy
supportance
?
Resolve
then
into
teares
;
Pride
not
thy selfe
in
thy
distemper
,
seeing
fooles
and
mad-men
laugh
at
thine
humour
.
Be
so
farre
now
from
preferring
thy selfe
before
ot●…rs
,
that
thou
esteeme
thy selfe
the
worst
of
all
others
.
Blush
at
thy
former
folly
;
and
those
friends
which
thou
hast
lost
by
pride
,
regaine
by
humility
.
Strengthen
thy
intentions
with
divine
resolves
;
that
nothing
may
worke
more
on
thy
minde
,
than
redeeming
of
time
:
which
,
by
how
much
more
precious
,
by
so
much
more
carefully
employed
.
In
a
word
,
seeme
not
to
be
good
,
unlesse
thou
beest
that
which
thou
●…eemest
:
for
semblance
of
goodnesse
,
howsoever
it
deceive
the
eye
of
the
beholder
,
it
ever
asperseth
most
blemish
on
the
owner
,
when
Policy
hat●…
lost
her
vizard
,
hypocrisie
her
colour
.
Thus
,
Madam
,
to
my selfe
I
discoursed
;
and
thus
eve●…
since
have
I
resolved
.
Nor
is
it
my
desire
,
that
your
Grace
should
only
rely
on
my
relation
;
or
give
such
easie
credit
to
my
pretended
conversion
,
as
to
receive
no
other
approvement
:
for
I
shall
no
lesse
humbly
than
f●…eely
appeale
to
Tapeinos
his
judgement
,
whom
I
religiously
vow
,
onely
to
admit
into
my
company
,
to
deliver
his
opinion
touching
my
recovery
.
Argument
Tapeinos
proves
how
happy
it
is
to
be
humbled
,
that
they
may
more
sensibly
feele
the
maladies
to
which
they
are
affected
;
None
more
unhappy
than
hee
who
never
felt
adversity
;
The
way
to
weale
,
is
ingeniously
to
acknowledge
our
owne
want
;
Cedars
will
never
remember
that
they
were
once
Shrubbes
;
Promotion
declares
what
men
bee
,
and
humility
informes
them
what
they
should
bee
.
Hee
concludes
Vperephanos
happy
by
his
fall
:
being
thereby
made
apt
to
supply
wherein
before
hee
did
most
faile
.
Hee
admires
his

PROSE
IV.
PERPLEXED
,
and
'twixt
hope
and
feare
devided
,
stood
all
this
time
Themistâ
,
as
one
●…earefull
whether
these
so
pleasing
Objects
were
not
meere
Phantasies
and
deceptions
of
sight
:
but
no
one
of
all
these
inforced
in
her
so
impressive
a
motive
of
wonder
and
amazement
as
the
strangely
altered
and
me●…amorphos'd
Condition
of
Vperephanos
:
the
more
she●…
observed
him
,
the
lesse
shee
beleeved
what
shee
saw
in
him
:
for
shee
thought
,
how
the
Wolfe
might
probably
change
his
haire
,
but
hardly
his
condition
:
especially
,
having
beene
so
strengthened
by
custome
,
and
an
in
nate
malevolency
of
disposition
,
as
it
promised
lesse
hope
of
recovery
,
by
reason
of
the
continuance
of
his
infirmity
.
Wonder
she
could
not
sufficiently
at
his
lowly
Carriage
,
assable
Countenance
,
and
winning
observance
;
wherewith
shee
was
more
taken
than
with
any
of
all
her
recovered
Patients
.
For
to
see
one
,
whose
ambition
had
mounted
the
Clowdes
,
and
whose
Selfe-conceit
exceeded
the
confidence
of
Mortals
,
fall
so
farre
off
from
preferring
himselfe
before
others
,
as
to
esteeme
himselfe
the
unworthiest
of
all
others
;
Nay
,
to
avert
his
Eare
from
his
owne
praise
,
and
make
Humility
his
onely
prize
;
to
knit
his
discourse
so
firmely
with
the
Cement
of
discretion
;
and
so
sweetly
sea●…on
it
with
Moderation
,
as
in
a
wise
diffidence
,
to
submit
himselfe
ever
to
others
Opinion
;
to
blush
at
his
former
impertinences
,
and
strengthen
his
well-disposed
intentions
with
divine
re●…olves
;
Briefely
,
to
relinquish
all
such
infectious
Consorts
,
as
fed
him
most
in
his
humour
,
and
with
the
b●…llowes
of
Sycophancy
,
kindled
th●…
Flame
of
his
distemper
;
and
to
supply
them
with
the
vertuous
society
of
Tapeinos
;
one
,
whole
humility
well
deserved
esteeme
in
the
eminenst
Family
.
I
say
,
to
see
all
these
concurring
in
One
,
and
one
of
whom
there
was
least
hope
,
could
not
chuse
but
much
transport
her
,
and
so
much
the
more
over
joy
her
,
as
it
was
least
expected
by
her
.
Desirous
then
to
heare
the
happy
iss●…e
of
this
generall
Cure
,
after
shee
had
infinitely
rejoyced
in
this
unexpected
recovery
of
her
Consul
Vperephano●…
,
which
Cure
shee
held
to
bee
of
greatest
difficulty
,
shee
forthwith
commanded
that
Melixos
should
bee
brought
into
the
Presence-Chamber
;
Who
,
upon
his
Princesse
command
,
related
the
issue
of
his
Cure
,
after
this
mann●…r
.
How
weake
I
was
of
constitution
;
how
unconstant
in
my
resolves
;
how
desperately-diffident
of
mine
owne
abilities
;
how
flexiblyyeelding
to
any
ones
proposition
,
were
it
never
so
averse
nor
devious
from
reason
,
your
Gr●…ce
cannot
be
ignorant
.
Meagre
,
lea●…e
and
exhausted
was
my
consumed
body
;
no
Faculty
but
desisted
from
preforming
her
due
office
,
because
in
each
of
them
I
had
a
diffid●…nce
.
Goe
upon
mine
owne
legs
I
could
not
,
for
they
would
not
support
mee
;
nor
direct
my
course
any
way
,
but
as
others
led
me
,
I
would
not
,
so
much
had
distrust
wroght
on
mee
.
Bleede
I
would
,
if
I
should
but
see
any
Spectacle
of
griefe
,
for
a
whole
day
together
:
and
with
an
effeminate
effluence
o●…
teares
,
d●…cover
my
childish
nature
.
This
our
Fame-crowned
Artist
,
Aesculapius
observed
,
and
with
Receits
duely
applied
,
laboured
by
all
means
to
effect
,
what
his
divine
art
hath
now
perfitted
.
Cordiall
and
Comfortable
things
he
prescribed
,
to
restore
Nature
so
much
decayed
;
mine
Eies
with
Eye-bright
water
hee
daily
washed
,
to
recover
my
Sight
almost
perished
;
Hee
stanched
my
incessant
bleeding
;
strengthened
my
sinues
weake
and
declining
;
And
applyed
certaine
Fomentations
to
keepe
me
from
cold
Sweats
and
Swouning
.
Nought
was
wanting
to
b●…ing
my
Cure
to
perfection
.
Patient
I
was
of
idlenesse
,
impatient
of
businesse
.
Nothing
so
relished
me
,
so
distempered
was
my
Palat
;
nothing
digested
with
me
,
so
raw
was
my
Stomach
.
But
having
now
at
last
by
his
especiall
Care
,
beene
brought
to
a
Sense
of
my
griefe
,
and
probable
expectance
of
Cure
;
I
was
permitted
,
at
certaine
seasons
,
to
walke
abroad
and
take
the
ayre
;
but
never
without
a
Guide
,
who
still
attended
mee
,
lest
by
being
left
unto
my selfe
,
some
disaster
might
befall
me
.
One
day
,
as
I
was
walking
in
an
open
Gallery
,
my
Keeper
shewed
mee
an
excellent
piece
in
Porphyrite
Marble
;
wherein
was
portrayed
the
dwarfe
Inus
,
bearing
the
Gyant
Iphiclus
on
his
shoulders
.
Which
Statue
as
I
intentively
eyed
,
so
I
personally
applyed
,
for
I
found
my selfe
presented
in
it
:
being
purposely
invented
and
erected
by
my
Physitian
,
that
in
it
,
as
in
a
Mirror
,
I
might
see
mine
owne
Condition
.
Requesting
therefore
my
Guardian
to
retire
a
little
,
and
to
leave
mee
to
my selfe
:
in
a
private
&
familiar
discourse
,
after
this
sort
I
uttered
mine
owne
thoughts
,
wishing
no
Eare
but
the
subtle
Ayre
to
partake
my
complaints
.
A
Picture
!
yes
Meilixos
;
and
in
it
thine
owne
feature
.
How
!
Inus
supporting
Iphiclus
!
a
weake
Columne
for
such
a
Colosse
.
The
Morall
without
inversion
may
be
thus
applied
.
When
a
Statist
suffers
himselfe
to
be
overswayed
by
a
Pleibeian
;
or
out
of
a
setled
jealousie
of
his
owne
Weaknesse
,
inclines
to
every
vulgar
opinion
;
or
out
of
a
various
wandring
Conceit
what
he
now
decrees
,
hee
presently
revokes
;
or
out
of
a
disesteeme
of
his
owne
judgement
,
will
not
maintaine
what
he
usefully
propounds
;
hee
in
his
owne
person
presents
this
Embleme
.
Now
reply
to
thine
owne
thoughts
,
Meilixos
,
and
observe
,
if
thou
be
not
the
Person
here
shadowed
!
How
much
hast
thou
ever
relyed
on
others
opinions
,
were
their
judgements
never
so
shallow
nor
defective
;
their
Conditions
never
so
obscure
nor
Plebeian
?
What
judgement
didst
thou
ever
pronounce
,
which
thine
owne
Weakenesse
did
not
make
thee
repent
;
or
some
inferiour
opposition
did
not
cause
thee
recant
?
Tell
mee
then
,
if
thou
see
not
here
the
Gyant
Iphiclus
borne
a
loft
on
the
dwarfish
Inus
his
shoulders
?
Who
ever
more
confident
of
anothers
opinion
,
or
more
diffident
of
his
owne
?
Who
ever
depended
more
on
others
Supportance
,
or
trusted
lesse
his
owne
strength
;
occasioned
meerely
by
his
owne
remissenesse
?
Who
ever
mannaged
a
State
with
more
coldnesse
,
or
censured
Delinquents
with
more
indulgence
?
Who
ever
suffered
himselfe
to
be
more
deluded
by
the
advice
of
weakenesse
,
or
misguided
by
simple
directions
?
And
what
else
was
this
,
but
to
bee
borne
on
dwarfish
shoulders
?
Irresolute
was
I
ever
in
my
designes
;
nothing
could
I
doe
which
seemed
not
better
undone
than
done
.
For
,
whatsoever
the
preceeding
day
effected
,
the
following
day
ever
distasted
.
In
competition
for
offices
,
I
stood
ever
divided
,
which
to
adhere
to
.
Such
a
Newter
among
the
Romans
,
was
that
famous
,
but
various
Orator
,
who
could
not
resolve
,
whether
hee
should
take
Caesars
or
Pompeies
part
.
Such
among
the
Grecians
,
was
Titides
,
who
could
not
determine
whether
he
shuld
joyn
himselfe
with
Achilles
or
Hector
.
Thus
like
a
Top
which
alwayes
rnnnes
round
,
and
never
goes
forward
unlesse
it
be
whipt
,
traversed
I
my
ground
in
a
doubtfull
Circuit
:
never
lesse
resolved
then
when
I
had
least
occasion
to
doubt
.
But
lest
I
,
should
become
too
tedious
to
your
Grace
,
by
too
much
enlarging
my
discourse
,
you
may
understand
by
the
effects
,
the
proficience
of
his
care
.
For
as
his
Receits
,
had
prepared
me
,
so
these
moving
Emblemes
wrought
such
deepe
impression
on
mee
,
as
I
now
hate
nothing
more
than
Pusillanimity
,
to
which
I
was
formerly
engaged
,
●…steeming
resolution
and
constancy
the
highest
honour
of
a
Consul
.
I
neither
approve
of
Draeco's
Lawes
,
writ
in
bloud
,
nor
Theano's
writ
in
Sand.
In
all
Politique
States
,
I
shall
ever
hold
Law
to
be
the
Line
,
Execution
the
Life
:
but
Law
without
Execution
a
Leaden
sword
in
a
Golden
sheath
.
It
now
repents
me
of
my
time
so
remissely
lost
;
nor
shall
the
remainder
of
my
time
be
wanting
in
resolves
,
to
regaine
by
some
industrious
act
,
what
my
Security
or
Childish
Lenity
hath
lost
by
neglect
.
But
what
are
golden
promises
,
but
faire
flourishes
,
being
coldly
seconded
by
actuall
performance
?
It
shall
bee
my
constant
taske
rather
to
practise
than
to
talke
.
As
your
Graces
Care
hath
brought
mee
to
partake
in
the
benefit
of
this
Cure
;
it
shall
be
my
continued
Endevourto

your
Honour

The
infirmity
of
mine
age
may
make

but
my
integrity
shall
never
faile
.
Now
to
strenthen
your
conceit
in
my
recovery
;
I
shall
willingly
disclaime
my selfe
,
and
ingenuously
appeale
to
Iscuros
,
to

his

with
an

Argument

Iscuros
imparts
himselfe
to
Themista
;
He
on
firms
her
in
the
opinion
of
Meilixos
conversion
;
hee
perswades
her
to
encourage
him
in
his
vertuous
designes
;
Good
dispositions
are
rather
to
bee
cheered
than
checked
,
cherished
than
chastised
;
A
sweet
and
well-disposed
temper
allayes
the
sharpenesse
of
a
rigid
censure
:
Hee
assures
Themista
with
much
confidence
of
Meilixos
fidelity
and
diligence
:
and
that
his
late
alteration
well
deserves
both
her

Can

Are

In

could

Vpotomos
all
this
while
with
a
grave
and
well-composed
behaviour
,
gave
all
attention
to
his
Soveraignesse
;
and
now
with
a
low
andre
verend
Salute
,
kneeling
on
his
knee
,
as
became
the
Majesty
of
such
a
Person
,
befo●…e
w●…om
hee
was
to
〈◊〉
his
discourse
,
he
begun
to
relate
the
happy
disposure
and
attemperature
of
his
distem
pered
humour
,
after
this
manner
.
It
is
most
true
,
Madam
,
that
never
any
who
sate
a●…
the
helme
,
or
st●…r'd
the
rudder
of
so
●…lourishing
an
estate
〈◊〉
a
ever
subject
to
more
un●…uff
rable
enormities
than
I
have
beene
.
Never
I
say
,
was
Stat●…sman
more
distempered
●…nd
in
his
distemper
mor●…
domineered
,
for
what
wa●…
it
I
more
affected
,
than
t●…
have
mine
owne
humour
satisfied
:
which
to
effect
,
how
much
hath
the
line
and
level
of
justice
beene
made
crooked
.
The
course
of
equity
perverted
?
Hence
proceed
my
tears
!
Hence
my
feares
!
Teares
,
in
a
sensible
remorse
of
my
guilt
;
feares
,
lest
the
remainder
of
mine
houres
should
no●…
regaine
what
my
former
foliies
have
lost
.
Nor
is
the
remembrance
,
Madam
,
of
mine
actions
to
any
on●…
more
distastefull
,
than
they
are
to
me
hatefull
.
Worthy
was
that
answer
of
the
invincible
Alexander
to
his
Mother
;
who
desirous
to
execute
an
innocent-harmelesse
man
,
the
better
to
prevaile
with
him
,
remembred
him
that
herselfe
for
the
space
of
nine
moneths
had
carried
him
in
her
wombe
,
nourished
him
with
her
owne
bloud
,
and
painfully
laboured
in
his
birth
;
and
for
these
reasons
hee
must
not
say
her
nay
.
Aske
(
saith
hee
)
good
mother
,
some
other
gift
of
mee
,
and
I
will
grant
it
:
for
the
life
of
a
man
can
by
no
benefit
be
recompenced
.
But
how
farre
was
this
sentence
of
just
compassion
from
me
estranged
;
when
I
desired
nothing
more
than
to
inflict
punishment
equally
upon
the
innocent
as
on
the
delinquent
?
Iulian
the
Apostata
once
answered
very
wittily
touching
the
liberty
given
accusers
;
If
onely
to
accuse
,
it
were
sufficient
,
who
could
be
innocent
?
But
wha●…
a
free
●…are
have
I
ever
given
to
accusers
?
What
liberty
to
their
suggestions
?
An●…
how
easily
have
I
credited
their
improbable
surmises
?
Nothing
relished
better
than
thunder
and
torture
.
Nor
did
I
read
any
discourse
with
more
delight
,
than
the
ex●…
inventions
o●…
those
Tyrants
,
who
bestowed
the●…r
time
,
or
allo●…ted
large
Pensions
on
others
in
their
time
,
for
contriving
rare
and
unheard-of
torments
,
for
their
supposed
Delinquents
.
Phereclus
,
and
Perillus
were
●…y
Minions
;
thei●…
projects
were
my
parternes
Dennis
the
●…yrant
(
as
Plutarch
witnesseth
)
gave
his
Enemies
no
other
torme●…t
,
but
salt
meat
to
eat
,
and
no
drinke
ro
drinke
;
and
made
them
labour
hard
and
not
sleepe
.
And
these
relations
were
my
choicest
Recreations
at
retired
houres
:
When
either
businesse
,
or
State
gave
way
;
or
mine
owne
desires
affected
repose
.
Yet
see
!
Whatsoever
affected
mee
most
by
day
,
ever
affrighted
mee
most
by
night
.
Those
two
severe
and
cruell
sentences
which
my
fury
had
pronounced
,
were
ever
to
mee
in
my
sleepe
in
bloudy
Characters
presented
.
Not
withstanding
all
this
,
Demadis
I
ever
taxed
,
for
finding
faul●…
with
Draco's
lawes
,
for
being
writ
in
bloud
:
For
(
said
I
)
if
Offenders
cover
their
foule
actions
with
inke
,
why
should
not
justice
colour
them
with
bloud
?
But
as
the
Appollodorus
,
Hipparohus
,
Pausanias
,
and
many
others
,
recommended
to
the
memory
of
approved
Historians
.
Night
●…y
night
was
I
startled
with
fearfull
visio●…s
;
presenting
the
persons
of
such
as
had
received
any
cruell
censure
from
mee
.
Yet
did
I
fleight
all
these
visions
,
as
children
dreames
;
th●…
next
day
begot
a
new
doom
;
the
Scene
wherein
I
acted
,
was
ever
tragicall
to
the
Delinquent
.
Thus
I
raigned
,
ranged
and
raged
,
till
mine
eyes
grew
inflamed
,
my
stomacke
swolne
up
and
puffed
;
my
bloud
,
by
too
much
familiarity
with
Eris
,
a
waspish
Sorceresse
,
infected
.
All
out
of
temper
;
thus
I
continued
for
many
moneths
together
:
till
your
fame-spred
Artist
,
to
whose
especiall
care
,
and
effectuall
cure
,
wee
were
all
commended
,
sought
out
the
grounds
of
my
distemper
.
Intollerable
paine
I
suffered
,
yet
was
I
scarce
sensible
of
the
causelesse
which
I
suffered
.
All
which
time
,
hee
omitted
no
opportunity
to
restore
me
to
my selfe
;
who
,
howsoever
I
was
seldome
drunke
,
yet
was
I
never
mine
owne
man
.
Nor
did
hee
professe
lesse
Art
i●…
Chyrurgery
than
Physicke
:
for
having
by
way
of
incision
opened
mee
,
hee
tooke
a
worme
out
of
my
gall
;
the
mainest
cause
of
my
distemper
.
Then
hee
applied
Cupping-glafses
●…o
coole
and
temper
my
braine
;
the
heat
whereof
had
so
enraged
mee
,
as
no
object
,
were
it
never
so
pleasi●…g
no●…
eye-taking
,
could
delight
mee
.
A
Diet-drinke
too
,
hee
prepared
mee
,
well
mixt
with
●…he
Soveraigne
ju●…ce
of
Me
triot
and
Euchrasia
,
to
remove
those
Pluriticall
stitches
,
wherewith
I
was
incessantly
annoyed
:
●…pplying
withall
,
Oppian
Plaist●…rs
,
with
a
proportionable
quan●…ity
of
the
juyce
of
Sunneidesis
infused
to
my
stomacke
,
to
repell
those
fearefull
dreames
,
which
so
migh●…ly
start●…ed
and
affrighted
mee
,
as
not
one
houres
rest
could
secure
mee
,
one
minutes
quiet
solace
mee
.
These
receits
by
degrees
brought
mee
to
some
little
conceit
or
apprehension
of
mine
owne
distemper
;
So
as
,
in
short
time
I
was
suffered
to
walke
abroad
,
and
to
refresh
my
crazie-co●…sumed
body
with
moderate
recreation
;
of
which
I
was
before
debarred
,
being
fast
tied
,
and
t●…
such
strict
restraint
confined
▪
as
I
was
neither
permitte●…
to
take
the
benefit
of
the
fresh
ayre
,
nor
to
enjoy
the
society
of
any
;
so
intollerable
was
my
rage
,
so
boundlesse
my
fury
.
And
being
now
in
good
hope
of
recovery
,
which
enlarged
my
late
restraint
to
more
liberty
;
it
hapned
one
day
as
I
walked
in
a
private
Garden
,
purposely
a●…lotted
mee
(
for
each
of
us
had
ou●…
distinct
walks
,
lest
our
distracted
and
distempere●…●…umours
,
upon
our
encoun●…ring
one
another
,
might
beget
some
fearefull
inconvenience
)
that
in
the
lowest
border
of
the
Garden
,
I
might
see
a
curious
Orbell
,
all
of
Touch
,
wherein
the
Syracusan
tyrants
were
no
lesse
artfully
portrayed
,
than
their
severall
cruelties
to
life
dsi
played
:
Nothing
was
omitted
,
to
discover
Tyranny
in
her
owne
naked
feature
;
nor
expresse
cruelty
in
her
truest
nature
.
Diamater-wis●…
on
the
other
side
of
the
Columne
stood
Argestes
strucke
with
thunder
,
just
as
hee
was
pronouncing
his
bloudy
censure
.
Twice
had
I
path'd
my
border-walke
,
when
this
Statue
first
presented
it selfe
unto
mee
;
yet
with
a
slight
and
carelesse
eye
I
passed
by
it
,
as
if
the
act
of
mine
owne
li●…
had
no
relation
at
all
unto
it
.
But
in
the
end
,
being
alwayes
in
mine
eye
,
which
could
not
chuse
but
convey
some
impressive
conceit
to
mine
heart
;
I
beganne
t●…
discusse
,
by
way
of
conjecture
,
the
allusive
meaning
of
these
Emblemes
:
which
,
a●…er
some
more
serious
expostulation
with
mine
owne
thoughts
,
I
returned
in
these
words
.
What
should
this
meane
Vpotomos
?
Dost
thou
feele
any
shaking
or
shuddering
in
thine
owne
flesh
,
that
it
should
intend
any
relation
to
thy
s●…lfe
?
Eye
thine
owne
nature
,
and
compare
it
with
the
feature
.
Say
,
say
,
Vpotomos
,
what
were
these
Syracusan
tyrants
?
Cruell
to
their
foes
,
and
scarce
constant
to
their
friends
.
Exquisite
for
inventing
torments
to
sate
their
〈◊〉
,
but
unapt
to
incline
their
eare
to
a
sui●…
of
mercy
.
Prone
to
sp●…ll
,
but
slow
to
spare
.
Such
,
as
never
joyed
but
in
a
bloudy
banquet
.
The
Stage
,
where
these
acted
their
inhumane
parts
,
was
ever
hung
about
with
Blacks
;
their
very
private
Arbours
stucke
with
Ebon
sprigges
,
to
put
them
in
minde
of
their
blacke
designes
.
But
what
are
all
these
to
thee
?
yes
,
Vpotomos
,
reflect
upon
thine
owne
inhumanity
,
and
in
these
thou
shalt
finde
thine
owne
A●…atomie
.
Then
actions
,
with
change
only
of
time
and
person
,
were
thine
.
Indeed
,
they
were
more
eminent
,
because
advanced
to
an
higher
Orbe
of
gov●…rnment
.
But
this
leffeneth
nothing
thy
guil●…
,
but
ra●…her
aggravates
thy
shame
.
The
higher
these
werein
honour
,
the
more
they
had
to
follow
their
humour
.
The
body
o●…
greatnesse
never
walkes
without
an
extensive
shadow
.
But
thy
command
had
no
such
boundier
.
Thy
power
was
confined
yet
to
the
highe●…t
pin
o●…
extremity
screwed
.
Read
then
thy selfe
in
this
Syracusan
piece
.
But
if
this
worke
not
effectually
with
thee
,
nor
enforce
those
bloud-shot
eyes
to
view
thy
insatiate
cruelty
;
then
looke
on
that
Statue
of
Argestes
.
Wherein
observe
his
quality
and
vocation
;
and
thou
shalt
finde
it
to
side
with
thine
;
his
Ca●…astrophe
and
utter
ruine
,
and
beware
it
be
not
seconded
by
thine
.
Polo
the
Tragedian
(
whose
living
memory
breaths
yet
to
posterity
)
acting
the
part
of
Electra
upon
the
Stage
,
and
being
mournfully
to
bring
in
the
bones
of
her
brother
Orestes
in
a
Pot
,
he
brought
in
the
bones
of
his
owne
son
lately
buried
,
that
the
sight
of
them
might
wring
forth
true
tears
indeed
,
and
by
the
passionate
presentment
of
them
,
act
it
more
famously
.
For
objects
of
ocular
passion
,
cannot
chuse
but
work
in
the
Actors
person
.
Apply
this
,
Vpotomos
,
and
that
impartially
;
here
thou
seest
thine
owne
life
acted
in
an
Embleme
.
Let
it
worke
so
much
true
passion
in
thee
,
as
the
fore-past
memory
of
thy selfe
may
make
thee
hatefull
to
thy selfe
.
Let
that
which
thou
here
seest
occularly
presented
,
and
to
thy selfe
properly
applied
,
become
a
motive
to
d●…terre
thee
f●…om
what
thou
formerly
so
much
affected
,
an
inducement
to
allure
thee
to
what
thou
lately
so
much
distasted
;
a
wile
to
weane
thee
from
what
thou
so
dearly
loved
;
a
Lure
to
win
thee
to
what
thou
so
deeply
loathed
.
Delay
may
b●…get

;
take
hold
then
of
opportunity
to
prevent
this
danger
.
Nor
did
I
remit
what
my
resolution
had
fixt
:
for
so
well
had
Physicke
corrected
mine
h●…mour
;
and
so
strongly
had
these
Emblemes
wrought
on
my
conceit
,
as
I
forth
with
disclaimed
all
familiarity
with
Eris
,
from
whom
arose
the
very
first
ground
of
mine
unhappinesse
.
For
her
malitious
nature
it
was
,
had
corrupted
my
bloud
,
infected
my
vitall
parts
,
and
wholly
estra●…ged
mee
from
the
sensible
●…eeling
or
compassionating
the
infirmities
of

Since
the

meerely

correction
of
mine

I
feele
my selfe

for
I
am
turned
all
Niobe

so
as
my

is

;
I
can
wish
unto
others
as
to
my selfe
:
Commiserate
others
griefs
,
as
if
they
had
relation
unto

:
truly

am

I

seeing
you
attended
on
mee
during
my
infirmity
)
so
to
relate
to
Themista
the
manner
of
my
distemper
,
and
grounds
of
my
recovery
.
To
which
Elecmon
at
the
first
seemed
altogether
unwilling
,
till
long
importunity
had
so
wonne
him
,
as
addressing
himselfe
to
Themista
,
in
Aesc●…lapius
honour
,
hee
related
the
circumstances
of
Vpotomos
recovery
,
in
this
manner
.
Argument
.
Elecmon
reports
what
apparant
danger
hee
incurred
,
so
long
as
Vpotomos
was
distempered
:
and
in
his
recovery
how
much
hee
was
comforted
;
Hee
holds
the
time
bestowed
on
his
attendance
,
to
be
a
taske
of
incomparable
happinesse
:
and
his
absolutest
solace
,
to
live
and
die
in
his
service
,
Hee
much
feares
his
desire
of
retirement
from
affaires
of
State
;
Hee
could
wish
theref●…re
Themista
,
as
shee
tenders
the
fame
and
honour
of
her
Court
,
to
re-advance
him
to
his
former
charge
,
which
might
conduce
to
the
strength
of
the
State
,
and
her
recovery
.
POESY

HIM

As

Depriv'd
of

I
brought
him
still

And
to
afford
him
ease
,
refus'd
no
paine
.
The
ranke

Thus

Themista
in

Vpotomos

conceiveth
no

pleasure
;
She
wonders
at
the
strange
alteration
of
his

Shee
cals
Amerimnos
to
come
before
her
:
Whom
her
servant
Euphorbus
found
sometime
sleeping
in

corner
;
Hee
acquaints
her
,
how
his
decayed
memory
is
restored
;
his
dull
and
unactive
spirits
revived
.
Hee
appeales
to
Epimedes

to

PROSE
V.
QVestionlesse
(
said
Themista
)
under
favour
,
this
is
not
Vpotomos
,
whom
you
describe
after
this
manner
.
Can
a
relentlesse
disposition
bee
so
soone
tamed
,
as
to
affect
what
hee
before
so
mortally
hated
?
Who
would
not
conceive
infinit
pleasure
in
the
alteration
of
such
a
temper
?
What
a
glorious
liberty
that
infranchised
mind
enjoyes
,
who
puts
off
man
to
converse
more
freely
with
heaven
?
But
if
wee
must
beleeve
Vpotomos
nature
to
bee
th●…s
altered
,
wee
would
faine
know
where
his
old
condition
is
now
seated
.
Sure
,
if
that
ancient
Pythagorean
opinion
hold
firme
,
that
there
is
a
transmigration
of
soules
into
other
bodies
,
there
is
some
body
much
distempered
with
his
humour
:
having
either
left
what
hee
had
unto
another
,
or
made
an
exchange
with
anothers
nature
.
But
happy
is
such
a
losse
,
which
brings
the
Los●…r
gaine
!
Precious
such
a
change
,
which
admits
no
change
,
but
to
the
Republike
a
constant
choice
!
Redoubled
is
our
joy
,
to
re-possesse
what
our
conceit
had
utterly
lost
:
and
to
finde
in
him
whom
wee
held
for
lost
,
what
wee
b●…fore
all
others
incomparably
prize
.
But
let
us
not
forget
our
last
Consul
,
though
(
perchance
)
security
hath
made
him
to
forget
himselfe
.
Which
said
,
shee
cals
Amerimnos
to
come
be●…ore
her
,
whom
her
servant
Euphorbus
had
sometimes
found
sleeping
in
a
corner
:
whom
shee
no
soo●…er
beheld
approaching
towards
her
presence
,
then
shee
thus
accoasted
him
.
Amerimnos
,
wee
should
willingly
addresse
our
discourse
unto
you
,
all
the
better
to
satisfie
our selves
how
those
artfull
experiments
have
wrought
with
you
;
which
have
already
produced
such
admirable
effects
in
the
rest
of
our
Consuls
,
who
laboured
of
no
lesse
dangerous
distemper
than
your selfe
.
But
much
wee
doubt
your
drousie
attention
would
dampe
our
discourse
with
a
sleepie
conclusion
.
Much
like
that
over-watcht
Epicureall
〈◊〉
,
who
being
to
give
his
opinion
in
a
businesse
of
high
consequence
,
betwixt
Plaintiffe
and
Defendant
,
but
slept
all
the
time
it
was
in
pleading
;
as
one
suddenly
awakt
,
but
unprepared
of
a
discreeter
answer
;
return'd
his
opinion
in
the
selfe-same
Element
,
whereof
hee
had
probably
dreamed
,
in
this
manner
:
All
Cumaea
ha's
not
a
piece
of
sounder
Ra●…ie
wine
.
This
smooth
,
but
smart
conceit
,
caused
all
such
as
were
there
present
to
bite
the
lip
,
but
with
a
secret
silent
smile
to
passe
the
j●…st
over
,
for
the
reverence
of
their
Soveraignnesse
,
and
civill
feare
,
lest
they
might
dash
Amerimnos
out
of
countenance
.
But
hee
little
amated
,
though
conscious
enough
of
the
quicknesse
of
the
conceit
,
with
a
decent
and
well-composed
gesture
,
after
three
low
Congies
made
to
her
Honour
,
delivered
his
minde
in
these
expressions
unto
her
.
It
is
said
of
the
silk-worme
(
Madam
)
that
shee
surceaseth
from
spinning
for
certaine
dayes
together
,
that
she
might
after
so
retired
a
rest
,
spinne
the
better
.
And
Charity
will
judge
that
I
have
slept
all
this
time
,
purposely
to
watch
the
longer
.
Though
Endimion
kissed
I
confesse
,
Madam
,
the
whole
Progresse
of
my
life
,
hath
been
a
continued
sleepe
.
Nothing
was
ever
more
opposite
to
my
nature
,
than
to
impose
my selfe
a
taske
,
or
some
diurnall
●…abour
.
Long
Epicur●…all
feasts
were
my
onely
delightfull
repasts
;
my
sole
taske
was
to
please
my
taste
;
which
made
mee
ofttimes
sleep
,
when
I
should
have
watched
for
the
publike
State
:
So
as
,
those
very
Geese
,
who
with
their
gagling
preserved
the
Capitoll
,
were
more
praise
worthy
in
their
generation
,
than
the
security
of
my
remisse
and
state
retired
condition
.
In
cases
of
Iudicature
,
such
as
were
of
necessity
to
make
repaire
to
my
Bench
,
sticked
not
to
say
that
they
came
thither
as
to
a
Lottery
;
●…or
causes
were
there
determined
at
haphazzard
,
not
by
equity
.
For
as
Lawyers
pleaded
,
while
I
slept
and
heard
not
;
so
awaking
I
gave
sentence
in
what
I
understood
not
.
In
a
word
,
the
whole
State
both
of
my
minde
and
body
was
grievously
distempered
.
For
though
mine
appetite
increased
,
my
digestion
failed
;
my
judgement
became
weakned
;
my
memory
decayed
;
and
the
whole
fabrike
of
this
little
man
fearefully
languished
.
All
which
Aesculapius
,
that
inimitable
Artist
no
lesse
observed
,
and
by
your
Graces
direction
,
seasonably
prevented
.
For
first
,
h●…e
regulates
mee
to
a
prescript
diet
,
with
Elixir'd
broaths
every
morning
to
sharpen
mine
understanding
;
Hee
prepares
me
next
,
Antiopian
plaisters
to
keepe
mee
the
afternoone
awaking
;
After
these
,
Epimeleian
julips
laid
warme
to
my
temples
;
whieh
with
fumes
of
strong
liquor
,
were
ever
aching
.
These
applied
,
hee
injoyned
me
to
abstaine
from
all
strong
drinkes
,
and
(
what
was
most
averse
from
mine
hydropick
nature
)
never
to

I
no

for
I
practised
with
a

Tooth-drawer
,
to
pull
m●…
out
two
of
my
broadest
teeth
:
by
meanes
whereof
,
and
the
benefit
of
a
Can●…
though
my
teeth
were
shu●…
▪
to
observe
his
direction
,
I
plenteously
flowed
in
mine
afternoones
potation
.
Hee
provides
too
a
Night
Cappe
strongly
chafed
with
the
Lemnian
powder
of
Cornu
copia
;
purposely
to
make
my
sleepes
shorter
,
and
my
conceit
stronger
.
And
because
hee
found
by
my
Vrine
,
and
other
soporiferous
symp●…omes
,
that
my
kidneye
were
overlarded
with
oyle
of
Dormise
(
whose
society
I
ever
so
much
affected
,
as
I
admired
their
condition
)
by
meanes
of
Sweatings
and
Suffumigations
,
hee
extracted
all
those
viscid
and
oyly
humours
.
By
meanes
of
these
receits
so
physically
applied
,
I
begun
to
have
some
little
feeling
of
my selfe
;
and
to
hold
up
my
head
,
which
before
,
like
a
perpetuall
Penthouse
,
hung
drilling
and
dropping
o're
my
brest
,
leaving
ever
some
asper●…ions
on
my
venerable
skirts
.
My
Physitian
,
who
never
tyrannized
over
his
Patients
,
but
upon
their
recovery
,
enlarged
their
restraint
,
to
solace
their
weakned
spirits
with
a
discreet
liberty
;
gave
directions
to
my
Keeper
,
that
I
should
take
the
aire
,
and
refresh
mine
over-wasted
,
and
wearied
body
with
some
temperate
recreation
.
This
granted
me
,
and
walking
one
day
in
a
delightfull
Spinet
,
beautified
with
shady
Poplars
,
I
might
se●…
a
curious
peece
of
antique
worke
,
seemingly
cut
out
of
a
naturall
rocke
,
and
over-growne
with
Ivie
,
to
prove
her
antiquity
.
The
Device
was
this
;
An
aged
man
,
bearing
the
name
of
Silenus
,
sleeping
in
a
Cave
,
matted
round
with
Mosse
;
round
about
him
were
shadowed
fruits
of
all
kinds
;
and
below
him
silver
springs
flowing
with
delicious
liquours
;
yet
still
so
desirous
seemed
hee
of
rest
,
and
so
infinitely
addicted
to
sleepe
,
as
hee
would
not
so
much
as
heave
up
his
head
either
to
those
luscious
fruits
,
tha●…
grew
so
delightfully
dangling
above
him
,
nor
inclin●…
it
to
those
delicious
liquours
that
flowed
so
plentcously
playing
under
him
.
Neare
to
this
Cave
was
por●…rayed
a
speckled
Aspick
,
with
a
winding-circling
pace
,
creeping
towards
him
,
and
shooting
out
his
venomous
sting
to
wound
him
;
which
an
industrious
Emmet
obse●…ving
,
seeks
to
prevent
,
by
awaking
him
with
a
gentle
touch
,
to
preserve
him
from
the
Aspicks
mortall
sting
.
Long
I
mused
on
the
depth
of
this
Embleme
;
wherein
I
fou●…d
such
intricacy
,
the
more
I
dived
into
it
,
the
shorter
I
came
of
it
.
Till
one
morning
(
whom
wee
no
lesse
truly
than
properly
cal●…
the
Muses
Minion
,
the
conceits
pregnantest
Da●…ling
)
expostula●…ing
with
my selfe
no
lesse
seriously
than
secretly
,
what
this
might
meane
;
I
fell
into
a
parley
with
mine
owne
thoughts
,
which
I
digested
and
dilivered
in
this
sort
.
Awake
,
Amerimnos
,
for
thou
seest
here
Silenus
(
and
in
him
thine
owne
Embleme
)
long
since
awaked
.
How
!
Silenus
!
in
a
Cave
sleeping
,
with
fruits
growing
above
him
▪
Fountaines
flowing
under
him
;
an
Aspick
creeping
towards
him
;
and
a
wary
Emmet
with
a
friendly
smart
awaking
him
!
What
may
all
this
meane
?
Thou
canst
not
see
thy selfe
,
Amerimnos
,
but
thou
must
needs
understand
it
.
Silenus
,
that
mirrour
o●…
Security
,
whose
whole
life
was
an
incessant
sleepe
;
whose
Cave
was
his
Commonweale
;
and
whose
sole
delight
was
in
a
senslesse
sur●…er
.
Silenus
,
who
neither
thought
of
combustions
abroad
,
nor
factions
at
home
;
desiring
nothing
more
than
to
fare
well
without
care
taking
;
reape
without
labouring
;
live
wi●…hout
loathing
;
enjoy
without
●…uffering
.
Now
reflect
upon
thy selfe
,
Am●…rimnos
,
and
see
what
affinity
thou
hast
with
Silenus
!
What
hast
thou
done
but
spent
thy
time
in
a
car●…lesse
slumber
?
how
remisse
in
thy
charge
?
how
respectlesse
of
thine
honour
?

thou
ever
(
to
unrivet
this
Embleme
)
partake
of
those
rich
fruits
growing
ab●…ve
thee
;
State-affaires
,
employments
o●…
publike
safety
?
Or
sip
o●…
those
Chrystall-gliding
Rivolets
flowing
under
thee
,
those
Low
Rils
,
humble
soules
,
objects
of
compassion
and
pity
?
No
;
thes
were
estranged
from
thee
;
thy
onely
taske
was
fruitlesse
security
.
Thus
thou
slept
,
while
the
subtill
Aspick
takes
advantage
on
thy
mis-employed
privacy
.
For
loe
!
with
a
snakie
pace
hee
drawes
towards
thee
,
purposely
to
sting
thee
,
and
that
mortally
:
did
not
the
Emmet
(
that
native
Embleme
of
industry
)
with
a
friendly
remembrance
raise
and
rouze
thee
.
Make
use
of
this
then
to
thy
benefit
,
lest
by
neglecting
the
opportunity
offered
,
thou
become
irreparably
lost
and
ruined
.
Which
,
the
better
to
effect
,
make
industry
thine
Harbinger
;
Temperance
thy
Caterer
;
Moderation
thy
Monitor
:
so
shalt
thou
not
onely
redeeme
the
time
thou
hast
lost
;
but
bestow
the
remainder
that
is
left
,
to
the
benefit
of
the
State
,
and
improvement
of
thine
honour
.
Nor
did
the
impression
of
this
Embleme
work
on
mee
,
as
other
Presentments
usually
doe
;
which
,
as
in
eying
objects
in
a
glasse
,
are
no
sooner
left
than
lost
:
for
as
by
those
Receits
formerly
applyed
,
my
decayed
memory
became
restored
;
my
dull
and
unactive
spirits
revived
;
my
love
to
employment
inflamed
:
so
the
sight
of
tha●…
●…bleme
hath
so
powerfully
wrought
on
my
thoughts
,
as
I
am
rosolved
(
nor
doe
I
feare
but
Heaven
will
ever
breath
on
such
divine
resolves
)
with
this
small
remainder
of
dayes
that
are
left
,
to
redeeme
the
time
I
have
lost
.
For
I
hold
nothing
lesse
seemely
than
one
who
is
ancient
in
yeares
,
and
hath
no
other
argument
to
shew
for
his
age
,
but
his
yeares
.
This
then
,
seeing
practise
is
the
lise
of
knowledge
,
shall
be
my
Position
.

No

This
my
couclusion
:
"
I
could
wish
,
that
as
I
spent
my
former
time
in
sleepe
,
I
might
now
addresse
mee
to

action
without

:
if
it
might

with
the

But
modesty

(
said
Themista
)
cannot
Which
spoke
,
with
a
Princely
affectionate
grace
,
shee
received
her
late
distempered
,
but
now
recovered
Consuls
into
her
favour
:
conferring
upon
them
,
according
to
their
distinct
qualities
,
distinct
honours
.
Which
conferred
,
making
a
sudden
stop
,
as
if
somewhat
had
beene
left
undone
,
which
she
intended
,
shee
unfolded
her
resolves
in
this
sort
.
Wee
have
read
(
quoth
she
)
that
an
experienced
Generall
is
worth
a
whole
Army
;
an
expert
Mariner
the
succour
of
a
Navie
;
a
discreet
Master
the
honour
of
his
Family
.
Yea
,
that
an
Army
of
Harts
with
a
Lion
to
their
Leader
,
is
better
than
an
Army
of
Lions
with
an
Hart
to
their
Commander
.
Lest
therfore
,
you
my
revived
Consuls
,
should
like
the
Bird
Ibis
,
receive
the
excrement
you
have
egested
,
by
returning
to
the
vomit
you
have
relinquished
,
our
purpose
is
to
recall
our
trusty
and
welbeloved
Parthenius
from
exile
,
where
hee
hath
beene
too
long
de●…ained
;
and
to
create
him
Prime-Consul
,
as
his
actions
have
ever
merited
:
seeing
his
defence
of
goodnesse
was
the
onely
cause
hee
became
proscribed
.
Which
directions
given
,
that
hee
should
bee
forthwith
called
home
,
to
the
end
,
her
late-reformed
Senators
might
bee
better
informed
,
and
in
their
good
resolves
confirmed
;
with
a
gracefull
reverend
aspect
mounting
her
judiciall
Throne
(
having
first
commanded
Cletor
the
Pretorian
Cryer
,
with
three
O's
Ace
to
command
silence
)
shee
addressed
herselfe
to
a
publike
prepared
CHARGE
,
in
the
assembly
of
her
Consuls
,
with
an
huge
confluence
of
other
Plebeians
,
after
this
manner
.
It
is
not
unknowne
(
grave
Iusticiaries
)
how
upon
our
especiall
trust
reposed
in
you
,
wee
did
sometimes
make
choice
of
you
to
bee
of
our
Commission
,
to
execute
justice
,
and
to
doe
your
Country
&
us
all
faithfull
service
.
But
how
remisse
you
were
in
your
Care
,
how
neglectfull
of
your
Charge
,
wee
will
not
here
relate
:
for
it
shall
bee
our
glory
to
see
our
perishing
hopes
revive
in
your
recovery
.
But
what
is
it
to
suffer
incision
,
corroding
powders
,
or
experiments
above
humane
sufferings
;
and
through
distemper
to
make
all
these
receits
uselesse
,
by
giving
free
issue
to
those
rancorous
wounds
,
which
before
were
closed
.
If
Statues
bee
not
daily
wiped
,
they
will
with
dust
become
blemished
:
so
,
if
those
impressures
of
manly
vertues
,
which
you
now
seemingly
retaine
,
bee
not
afresh
revived
,
and
by
all
industrious
meanes
preserved
,
your
glory
will
become
darkned
,
your
memory
obscured
.
You
hold
it
unseemly
to
stampe
your
Princes
image
in
base
mettall
:
And
what
lesse
doe
you
,
when
you
staine
our
purest
robes
of
justice
,
with
your
impurest
actions
?
O
my
Patritians
;
should
you
but
consider
how
much
wee
tender
our
honour
,
which
receives
not
her
beauty
from
any
outward
lustre
,
but
from
the
inward
purity
of
her
divinest
nature
;
no
doubt
but
you
would
suffer
the
worst
of
all
extreames
,
before
you
would
incline
by
the
crooked
line
of
your
actions
,
to
blemish
so
royall
and
reall
a
beauty
.
Yea
,
should
you
but
thinke
in
what
neare
obligements
you
stand
engaged
to
ou●…
bounty
,
〈◊〉
whence
,
after
your
first-being
,
you
●…ave
received
your
well-being
;
no
doubt
but
you
would
ingenuously
agnize
(
if
thankfulnesse
retained
the
least
touch
or
tincture
in
you
)
that
you
stood
more
bound
●…o
our
Grace
for
your
breeding
,
than
to
your
naturall
〈◊〉
for
your
first-being
.
For
if
any
one
love
his
carnall
father
,
from
●…hom
hee
onely
had
a
mortall
body
,
how
much
ought
hee
to
love
such
an
one
,
from
whom
hee
shall
receive
immortall
glory
?
If
so
much
a
mother
,
who
brought
him
a
man
full
of
miseries
into
this
world
;
how
much
more
one
,
who
shall
conduct
him
full
of
joyes
into
another
world
?
If
so
much
your
carnall
brethren
,
who
by
partaking
with
you
in
an
earthly
inheritance
,
make
you
poorer
;
how
much
more
on●…
,
who
by
conferring
on
you
a●…
heavenly
inheritance
,
shall
make
you
richer
?
If
so
much
a
sonne
,
for
whom
you
so
much
labour
,
not
knowing
whe●…her
you
may
perfect
ought
in
him
that
may
deserve
your
favour
;
or
whether
hee
will
hereafter
reverence
you
as
a
father
;
or
whether
he
will
oppose
you
,
or
render
evill
unto
you
for
the
good
hee
hath
received
from
you
;
how
much
more
one
,
who
will
eternally
reward
&
recompence
you
,
for
a
few
houres
service
received
from
you
?
If
so
much
a
Wife
,
who
(
perchance
)
loves
another
better
than
you
;
how
much
more
such
an
one
,
who
will
never
estrange
her
from
that
love
shee
beares
you
?
For
us
,
you
are
especially
to
love
,
without
whom
no
civill
society
can
either
subsist
or
live
.
All
which
may
bee
easily
proved
by
this
necessary
consequence
.
For
if
you
love
him
so
much
,
who
bestoweth
a
portion
of
his
estate
on
you
;
how
much
more
such
an
one
,
who
could
finde
in
his
heart
to
leave
friends
and
kinsfolks
,
and
to
goe
into
a
strange
Countrey
;
yea
,
to
engage
their
owne
body
to
gaine
you
liberty
?
Now
have
not
wee
expressed
our
love
amply
in
arguments
of
this
●…ature
?
Have
wee
not
left
our
owne
native
Countrey
(
those
beauteous
Mansions
of
Astraeas
glory
)
for
your
succo●…r
,
sa●…ety
and
security
?
Have
you
not
recovered
through
us
,
what
you
had
once
lost
;
to
the
end
you
might
become
happy
through
that
,
which
you
valued
least
?
But
wee
will
not
upbraid
you
with
our
courtesies
;
bee
it
your
care
now
after
the
dispatch
of
your
cure
,
that
this
judiciall
place
,
whereto
you
are
now
restored
,
may
bee
by
your
actions
dignified
;
the
pulike
State
,
where
you
are
deputed
,
rectified
;
and
your
many
neglected
houres
,
with
a
numerous
supply
of
vertues
,
carefully
redeemed
,
which
the
better
to
effect
,
two
things
bee
solely
necessary
:
an
unspotted
conscience
towards
your selves
;
and
an
untainted
fame
in
respect
of
others
.
By
which
meanes
,
you
may
not
onely
redeem●…
time
,
but
improve
your
own
fame
,
to
the
imitable
example
of
others
.
Nothing
,
you
know
,
more
precious
than
time
;
ye●…
what
more
disvalued
?
No
thing
more
perillous
than
neglect
of
opportunity
;
yet
how
easily
incurred
?
Bee
the
expence
then
of
your
houres
,
your
constantest
cares
.
And
because
medicines
ever
worke
best
by
their
contraries
;
and
vices
are
ever
best
cured
by
their
contrary
vertues
:
Whatsoever
you
shall
finde
in
you
irregular
,
prevent
the
growth
by
a
seasonable
remover
.
Vices
can
never
possibly
bee
cured
,
unlesse
they
bee
curbed
:
nor
ever
supplanted
,
unlesse
they
bee
timely
weeded
.
Which
the
better
to
effect
,
it
shall
be
now
ou●…
task
briefly
and
plainly
to
addresse
our
discourse
to
each
of
you
in
particular
;
that
by
a
more
free
survey
or
discovery
of
your
nature
,
you
may
become
Masters
of
your
owne
passions
,
and
better
rectifi●…rs
of
your
errours
.
And
to
you
first
,
Metoxos
,
(
to
observe
order
)
whose
very
name
renders
partiality
,
a
vice
whereto
you
have
been
addicted
naturally
.
Lysanders
saying
was
this
,
C●…ildren
must
bee
deceived
by
Dice
and
Blanks
,
men
by
oaths
.
Now
Sir
,
open
your
owne
naked
bosome
,
and
there
examine
your selfe
,
how
your
behaviour
hath
beene
in
the
management
of
your
place
!
How
many
have
you
deluded
with
promises
;
nay
,
seconded
those
bare
promises
with
bold
oaths
,
that
you
would
stand
for
them
in
the
justnesse
of
their
cause
,
by
defending
them
against
the
enmitie
of
powerfull
Opponents
?
But
how
soone
were
those
golden
promises
dissolved
,
when
apparent
hope
of
reward
was
presented
?
So
prevalent
was
the
power
of
gaine
,
as
it
caused
innocencie
to
give
place
to
guilt
.
Now
reflect
upon
this
,
Metoxos
,
with
your
cleare
eyes
;
for
before
they
were
bleared
with
rewards
:
and
stretch
out
your
hand
to
th●…
releefe
of
the
poore
,
but
draw
it
in
from
receit
of
bribes
.
And
take
ever
along
with
you
those
two
sayings
o●…
two
grave
Sages
;
Doe
no
thing
for
love
of
money
:
and
,
Staine
not
justice
with
partiality
.
What
untimely
,
but
deserving
fates
,
some
,
even
of
your
Profession
have
encountred
,
whose
tongues
wer●…●…ipt
with
gold
,
and
mad●…
gaine
their
goale
;
might
be●…
instanced
in
sundry
Personages
of
eminent
ranke
,
bu●…
ignominious
life
.
Some
whereof
have
b●…ene
suddenly
stabbed
;
others
privat●…ly
strangl●…d
;
others
openly
pistoled
by
their
injured
Plaintiffes
,
whose
unredressed
wrongs
winged
their
enraged
fury
with
too
speedy
revenge
.
Nor
were
these
scarce
bemoaned
while
they
perished
.
And
of
these
our
Roman
Annals
are
plenteous
in
examples
.
Amongst
which
,
nothing
more
bloudy
than
that
slaughter
which
was
made
by
the
Germans
upon
●…heir
revolt
from
the
Roman
Empire
,
through
the
Woods
a●…d
Marishes
;
nothing
more
intollerable
than
the
insultings
of
the
barbarous
,
speci
ally
(
to
instance
the
evenging
aimes
of
popular
fury
)
against
the
Pleaders
at
the
Barre
,
plucking
out
the
eyes
of
some
,
and
lopping
off
the
hands
of
othersome
;
one
had
his
mouth

his

Actor
grasping

said
to

;
Thou

So
implacable
was
the
fury
of
a
barbarous
Nation
,
upon
innovation
of
government
,
against
persons
of
your
profession
.
Which
,
as
it
is
an
honour
to
that
State
,
where
justice
is
equally
administred
;
so
it
detracts
from
her
,
where
partiality
is
priviledged
.
But
admit
,
these
forraine
instances
should
not
worke
strongly
enough
upon
your

Draw
homeward
,
by
recalling
to
mi●…de
that
tragicke
Story
of
Sisambres
,
so
m●…sically
descanted
by
Harmonius
:
with
those
pleasing
Paeans
of
thankfulnesse
delivered
by
Isotes
.
Now
to
you
,
Epimonos
,
whose
very
name
displayes
your
pertinacious
nature
;
be
never
so
tied
to
your
owne
opinion
,
as
to
avert
your
●…are
from
reason
.
How
can
hee
ever
possibly
improve
himselfe
,
who
shuts
his
attention
from
all
but
himselfe
?
To
what
purpose
were
Counsels
or
Assemblies
of
State
,
if
one
mans
private
opinion
should
bee
onely
delivered
,
and
all
others
silenced
?
Learne
then
(
for
this
lesson
will
infinitely
profit
you
)
to
submit
your selfe
to
others
judgement
,
to
humble
your selfe
in
others
approvement
;
for
so
by
hearing
others
,
you
may
become
enabled
in
that
wherein
you
are
naturally
most
defici●…nt
.
Nor
will
it
bee
amisse
,
while
others
read
Books
,
for
you
to
read
Men
;
even
that
unhappiest
of
men
,
M
Caelius
,
so
passinately
described
by
Harmoniu●…
:
with
those
soule-reviving
Epods
of
your
Epieicies
.
For
you
,
Vperephanos
,
whose
Name
suted
well
with
your
thoughts
;
as
your
cure
seemed
to
us
of
greatest
difficulty
,
so
you
give
us
no
lesse
occasion
to
joy
in
your
recovery
.
The
foolish
are
ever
taken
most
with
arrogance
and
applause
;
and
such
was
your
condition
.
Whose
unconfined
greatnesse
could
not
want
his
parallel
shadowes
to
follow
it
.
But
these
deceitfull
Sycophants
,
who
make
pretences
Employers
of
all
their
senses
,
are
not
unlike
the
Herbe
Sardonius
,
of
which
Solinus
reports
,
that
it
maketh
th●…
eaters
thereof
to
looke
as
if
they
laughed
,
but
in
laughing
die
.
Properly
may
wee
stile
them
Brokers
of
old
stuffe
,
or
Barterers
of
contemptible
ware
:
who
sell
their
Masters
at
any
rare
for
their
owne
advantage
.
Antisthenes
said
truly
of
them
,
that
it
was
better
to
fall
into
the
clawes
of
Ravens
,
than
such
●…ame
Rooks
:
for
Ravens
feed
onely
upon
dead
Carkasses
,
but
flatterers
upon
living
men
.
Alexander
Severus
(
a
great
enemy
to
these
)
caused
his
corrupt
Courtier
Turinus
in
the
open
Market
to
be
fastned
to
a
stake
,
and
and
stifled
with
smoke
;
the
Cryer
thus
crying
to
the
people
,
Let
him
perish
with
that
hee
sold
to
the
Parish
.
So
dealt
Dionysius
with
his
Damocles
,
by
ever
putting
him
in
perill
of
his
life
;
lest
his
perillous
practises
should
endanger
the
State
.
But
a
kinde
Physitian
ever
contends
with
the
disease
,
but
never
contests
with
his
Patient
;
beware
of
these
,
Vperephanos
;
you
are
now
set
againe
on
your
feet
:
for
inclining
to
them
may
bring
you
to
an
untimely
fate
.
"
Deere
are
ever
most
fearfull
in
their
best
Laires
:
doe
not
in
the
fatnesse
of
your
estate
feed
them
,
lest
they
feed
on
you
,
whose
immeriting
favour
did
first
raise
them
.
Lay
aside
the
presence
of
contempt
and
disdaine
;
put
on
an
affable
and
humble
countenance
;
bee
full
of
comfort
to

Client

So
shall
these

re-conferred

Envie

the

Rejoyce
ever
in

;
so
may
princely
compassion
steere
your

,
and
shield
you
from

In

demeane

Meane

bee
not
forgetfull
of
the
heavie
fate
of

,
so
pithily
chanted
by
Harmonius
:
which
,
if

much

,
allay
it
with
those
divine
aires
of

For
you

,
whose

resolves
it selfe
into
Pusillanimity
,
the
onely
ground
of
your
infirmity
,
raise
your selfe
from
earth
,
and
eye
the
place
to
which
you
are
advanced

The
Quaile
(

beginne

hee
layes
downe
one

holds
up

lest

should

at

hee
wets

:
lest

afterwards
,
hee
keepes

Apply
the
morall
to
your selfe
;
so
shall
you
neither
faint
too
much
,
by
distrusting
your
weaknesse
:
nor
pride
your selfe
too
much
in
the
discharge
of
this
publike
service
.
Which
done
,
as
wee
are
confident
of
you
,
so
shall
you
finde
us
none
of
those
unthankfull

,
to
sucke

and
then
to

with

Wee
know

how
to
bestow

to

merit
of

Looke
up
cheerfully

Meilixos

Let
not

imperious
Grande

who
sets
his

in
his

knits
his
browes
;
and
with
winks
and
nods
deciphers
his
command
,
over-awe
you
;
nor
make
your
tongue
falter
in
pronouncing
his
distastefull
censure
.
For
in
any
Cause
wherein

desire
to
please

you
are
not

whose

that
our
State
may
see
you
truly
changed
,
and
worthy
the
supportance
of
that
charge
wherein
you
are
entrusted
.
But
especially
retaine
in
minde
the
sad
Story
of
Melotes
,
sung
so
lately
to
you
in
such
apt
measures
by
Harmonius
:
whose
pensive
straines
you
may
sweeten
with
tho●…e

measures

of
Iscuros

Now
,
for
you
,
Vpotomos
,
in
whose
very
Name
was
portrayed
the
rough
Scene
of
your
life
;
and
whose
steeled
heart
could
sometimes
,
like
a
Spring-locke
,
shut
it selfe
,
but
never
open
to
the
least
thought
of

:
as
you
have

a
Niobe
in

eye
,
and
a
Philomels
thorne
to
your
brest
:
So
addresse
your selfe
to
mercy
,
and
never
hereafter
give
receit
to
cruelty
.
Demosthenes
being
demanded
what
men
had
,
that
most
resembled
God
?
He
answered
,
To
be
charitable
,
and
embrace
the
truth
.
Retaine
in
you
this
resemblance
,
so
shall
your
place
receive
more
honour
from
you
,
than

For
as
justice
is
(
as
all
other

a
meane
betwixt
two
extreames
;
Lenity
&
Severity

So

Yea

that
it
is
the

a
good
man
,
to
bee
able
to
say
,
that
hee
hath
rather
spared
,
where

than
to
have

,
where
he
might

Especially
,
where

the

who
are
commonly
wonne
more
by

,
than
severity

by

Inure

of

so
lively
chanted

:
Ever

refreshing
your

with
those

of

Lastly
,
to
you
Amerimnos
,
a
drowsie
name
for
a
watchfull
Centinell
;
whose
secure
sleepe
would
have
ruined
the
most
flourishing
State
.
After
so
long
a
sleepe
,
you
must
now
prepare
your selfe
for
as
long
a
Watch.
Better
w●…re
it
never
to
enjoy

,
than
to
make

a
continued
image
of
death
.
Now
sleepe
&
death
are
termed
two
sisters
;
and
Night
the
Mother
of
them
both
.
The
Poet
called
one
of
the
sonnes
of

,
〈◊〉
,
a
terrifier
of

.
What
then
might
you
bestiled
,
Amerimnos
,
whose
●…ole
felicity
was
security
;
and
in
a
lasting
dreame
,
summed
up
the
dayes
of
your
mortality
?
What
was
this
else
,
but
to
make
a
trifle
of
time
;
and
to
bestow
the
precious
oyl●…
of
your
life
,
on
the

delights
of
Sloth

Much
better
it
were
not

fruitlesly
to

But
where
the
Evening
can
make
no
good
account
of
the

,
Youth
must
needs
runne
in
great
arrerages
with
Age.
Now
,
such
an
one
may
more
properly
be
said
to
have
slept
a
long
sleepe
,
than
to
have
led
a
long
life
.
For
what
should
life
bee
but
a
continued
day-taske
?
Where
,
as
eternity
depends
on
a
moment
;
so
should
this
moment
of
time
ever
addresse
it selfe
to
eternity
.
For

howsoever
this
temporall
Sunne
which
you

and

after

yet
when

it
becomes
for
ever
to
this

darkned
and
benighted

Time

cannot
then
bee
redeemed
;
nor
the
fruitlesse
ex●…nce
of
your
profuser
houres

.
It
is
said
of
Demonax
,
a
Philosopher
who
flourished
in
the
time
of
Adrian
,
that
he
naturally
eschewed
money
and
solitarinesse
:
which
wee
never
remember
,
but
wee
wish
that
Metoxos
our
first
Consul
,
and
you
Amerimnos
the
last
in
order
,
had
equally
partaked
of
his
nature
:
that
as
disesteeme
of
the
one
might
have
begotten
in
him
an
hate
to
cove●…ousnesse
:
so
your
dislike
of
the
other
might
sharpen
your
desires
to
a
love
of
businesse
.
But
as
in
him
an●…●…he
rest
,
so
in
you
,
Amerimnos
,
bee
our
wishes
crowned
;
for
wee
see
your
desires
how
much
they
are
to
employment
enflamed
;
and
how
your
lateunactive
spirits
become
now
quickned
.
Nor
doe
wee
doubt
,
but
that
these
good
re●…olves
by
your
constant
endeavours
,
will
grow
so
richly
improved
,
as
wee
shall
have
cause
to
apply
the
saying
o●…
that
famous
Athe●…ian
to
you
;
You
had
perished
,
had
you
not
perished
.
For
as
his
youth
was
exposed
to
all
sensuality
,
wantonnesse
and
lib●…rtie
,
so
hee
excelled
in
the
maturitie
of
his
time
,
in
policie
,
martiall
prowesse
and
vertue
.
Bee
it
then
your
honour
●…o
shunne
whatsoever
may
redound
to
your
dishonour
.
Neglect
no
opportunitie
,
whereby
you
may
any
way
benefit
the
state
.
Apply
you●…
selfe
to
that
publike
service
;
the
discharge
whereof
may
produce
in
you
incomparable
solace
.
Make
choice
onely
of
such
for
your
acquaintance
,
where
you
have
hope
either
to
better
them
,
or
to
be
bettered
by
them

they
treat

too
little

Lastly
,
remember
that
fearefull
distemper
of
Messala
Corvinus
,
with
the
dishonour
of
lazie
Margites

rendred
in
that
dainty
Canto

Princely

we

our

distempered

now
recovered

how

upon
all

every
such
particular
defects
,
whereto
you
were
formerly
subject

so
now
our
exhortation
shall
bee
,
that
you
bee
cautious
of
a
relapse

And
to
the
end
you
may
lesse

in
your
affaires
,
ever
submit
your selves
to
the
discreet
advice
of
Parth●…nius

whom
I
have
purposely
placed
over
you
,
not
onely
in
matters
of
doubt
and
difficulty
to
resolve
you
,
but
in
all
your
deportments
of
State
,
to
informe
you

Experience
is
a
good
Mistresse
;
and
so
anciently
and
irreproveably
hath
hee
borne
〈◊〉
in
businesse
of
State
,
wherin
we
have
ever
employed
him
(
till
in
our
absence
some
Libertines
of
our
time
had
exiled
him
)
to
his
honour
,
and
our
improvement
;
as
none
ever
yet
knew
him
,
were
they
never
such
rigid
Censors
of
others
actions
,
who
could
justly
tax
him
,
eithe●…
of
partiality
to
friend
,
or
pas

towards
his
foe

Receiv●…
him
then
;
for
it
shall
not
derogate
from
your
wisdomes
Now
,
whereas
wee
have
here
set
you
as
Beacons
or
Watch-to●…ers
to
foresee
danger
from
a
farre
,
and
timely
●…o
prevent
it
before
it
come
to
our
doores
,
you
are
hence
to
understand
,
how
all
mens
eyes
are
on
you
;
and
how
light
errours
in
you
are
most
irregular
,
because
exemplar
.
Drops
are
but
small
things
,
yet
joyned
together
,
they
will
in
time
rise
to
a
River
.
Graines
of
Sand
are
but
small
bodies
,
yet
if
much
Sand
bee
heaped
together
,
it
not
onely
presseth
,
but
oppresseth
the
under-lyer
.
Y●…e
say
,
you
have
a
voided
grand
crimes
;
take
heed
yee
be
no●…
overwhelmed
with
small
Sands
.
Time
is
precious
unto
all
,
but
most
unto
age
:
for
where
few
houres
are
allotted
,
fit
it
were
that
they
were
well
bestowed
.
Bee
yee
then
men
of
that
setled
▪
seasoned
,
and
well-composed
temper
,
as
to
fix
and
terminate
your
thoughts
on
that
sole-Soveraigne
good
,
which
may
fully
close
,
s●…ale
and
sate
your
desires
.
For
tell
us
,
good
fathers
,
what
can
be
a
more
contemptible
thing
than
man
,
if
hee
erect
not
his
thoughts
above
man
!
So
,
as
the
very
Locust
or
Grashopper
(
creatures
of
emptinesse
and
feare
)
are
no
greater
slaves
to
the
wind
than
man
.
How
varying
in
his
resolves
;
how
delaying
in
his
performance
;
being
oft-times
prevented
by
death
,
before
hee
beginne
what
hee
so
long
resolved
?
But
of
all
ages
,
most
varying
is
hee
in
age
:
which
we
may
properly
illustrate
by
this
similitude
:
when
the
Sunne
is
in
the
Meridian
,
and
the
beames
of
it
perpendicular
to
our
bodies
,
shadowes
change
not
suddenly
;
but
when
it
beginnes
to
decline
to
the
fall
,
every
moment
almost
,
they
vary
.
Mans
life
is
a
spanne
;
a
narrow
spanne
,
which
hee
shall
n●…ither
fall
short
off
,
nor
exceed
;
no
,
not
one
little
or
point
of
it
;
not
the
br●…adth
of
the
smallest
haire
,
or
atome
;
no
,
not
the
〈◊〉
Gothsimere
▪
or
any
other
extenuate
or
imaginary
thi●…nesse
whatsoever
.
Now
,
how
should
any
man
,
if
endued
with
naturall
capacity
,
think
but
this
vapour
of
Smoke
,
this
light-vading
breath
,
may
promise
to
it selfe
any
long
continuance
;
especially
,
when
the
threed
of
life
is
not
onely
spunne
thinne
,
but
worne
small
?
When
Age
goes
poring
on
the
ground
,
as
if
hee
were
looking
for
some
place
where
he
should
lie
?
But
hope
of
living
long
is
that
universall
Antidote
,
that
makes
many
a
Mithridates
venture
on
poyson
.
Of
this
both
Age
and
Youth
doe
equally
surfet
.
For
no
decrepit
groundling
is
so
old
,
but
hee
hopes
hee
may
live
one
yeare
longer
.
But
higher
bee
our
hopes
in
you
,
who
hold
that
life
to
bee
most
blessed
,
wherein
whatsoever
is
best
,
is
both
loved
and
injoyed
.
These
,
as
most
deluded
Mor●…alls
commonly
bee
,
being
fed
with
a
deceiving
hope
of
living
long
,
become
altogether
secure
of
living
well
:
whereas
you
,
who
preferre
a
good
life
before
a
long
life
,
and
esteeme
nothing
worthy
prizing
here
,
but
what
may
highly
conduce
to
your
safe
conduct
elsewhere
:
make
no
other
aestimate
of
life
,
then
as
of
a
Scene
;
which
being
wel
and
bravely
performed
,
crownes
th●…
Exit
with
an
applause
.
The
best
and
principallest
Blessing
confirmed
by
the
authority
of
Herodotus
in
Cleobulus
and
Biton
,
Trophonius
and
Agamedes
?
and
that
pithy
conclusion
of
Silenus
,
who
being
taken
Prisoner
by
King
Midas
,
pai●…d
this
ransome
,
teaching
the
King
the
best
thing
,
that
might
chance
any
man
,
was
never
to
bee
borne
,
the
next
to
die
as
soone
as
might
bee
.
What
are
we
then
to
think
of
you
,
who
being
borne
to
the
State
,
live
to
support
it
,
love
to
advance
it
,
and
rejoyce
to
see
it
?
implying
an
auspicious
birth
,
a
gracious
life
,
ever
expiring
with
a
glorious
cloze
.
Bee
your
lives
then
long
or
short
,
they
cannot
redound
to
your
shame
,
because
employed
to
the
improvement
of
the
State
.
Live
you
would
not
,
but
for
it
;
and
dye
you
would
willingly
to
secure
it
.
The
most
potent
Princes
that
ever
breathed
,
have
showne
but
weake
prerogatives
against
fate
;
Nought
but
vanitie
was
to
bee
attributed
to
them
,
retained
they
never
so
much
earthly
glory
on
them
,
who
dwelled
in
houses
of
clay
,
whose
foundation
was
in
the
dust
,
which
are
crushed
before
the
Moath
.
Were
they
never
so
numerously
attended
;
with
the
bankes
and
barres
of
the
Sea
surrounded
;
at
home
and
abroad
secured
;
yet
could
they
not
from
mortality
be●…
exempted
.
Which
no
sooner
seazed
on
them
,
than
they
were
soonest
left
by
those
,
who
seemingly
clove
the
closest
to
them
.
Now
,
what
were
these
temporizing
Fawnes
,
but
such
as
made
Dialls
of
their
Masters
?
So
long
as
the
Sunne
shone
on
them
,
and
could
afford
them
a
shadow
,
they
lookt
on
them
;
but
no
sooner
had
the
Sun
left
them
,
than
they
were
left
by
them
.
So
quickly
they
past
by
them
with
a
carelesse
neglect
,
from
whom
they
expected
no
further
benefit
.
But
vertues
are
your
attendants
,
which
will
survive
the
memory
of
all
monumentall
structures
.
Thus
you
have
heard
(
to
draw
in
our
Sailes
,
and
apply
our
Oares
to
the
shore
)
how
the
reputation
of
a
State
is
preserved
by
a
wise
Councel
;
and
how
you
may
advance
your
Countreyes
glory
by
this
your
restauration
&
recovery
:
Evening
starre
,
so
you
may
show
your selves
beautifull
starres
in
the
Evening
.
Short
is
your
labour
,
perpetuall
shall
be
your
honor
.
Cheerefully
then
entertaine
the
one
that
you
may
more
happily
enjoy
the
other
.
Now
to
cloze
with
thankfulnesse
(
for
ungratefull
are
they
who
will
not
ingenuously
acknowledg
such
ample
curtesies
)
wee
vow
by
Themista's
Throne
,
to
erect
a
lasting
Trophie
to
Aesculapius
memory
;
that
succeeding
ages
may
record
how
ready
wee
were
to
requite
.
So
wee
leave
you
,
but
never
leave
to
love
you
,
so
you
love
the
State
,
for
whose
Service
and
Solace
wee
have
re-advanced
you
.
So
Themista
ascended
;
her
Senators
descended
;
where
their
Office
of
Iustice
became
so
well
discharged
,
as
it
was
well
for
the
State
that
her
Consuls
madded
,
being
ever
after
better
mannaged
,
than
before
such
time
as
they
fel
first
distempered
.
