MVSAEVS
,
OR
THE
FIRST
BOOKE
OF
CONSTANCY
.
ON
a
day
,
during
the
siege
that
Paris
suffered
with
so
much
Miserie
;
I
walked
alone
in
my
garden
,
being
sad
to
the
very
soule
for
the
hard
fortune
of
my
distressed
Country
.
And
as
a
mans
passion
beeing
too
much
soothed
vp
,
doth
increase
beyond
measure
;
I
began
to
accuse
heauen
for
powring
downe
vpon
vs
such
cruell
influences
;
and
could
with
a
good
will
haue
argued
with
God
himselfe
;
had
not
a
secret
feare
awed
my
sorrow
.
Amidst
these
my
perplexed
thoughts
,
there
arriued
one
of
my
deerest
friends
,
a
man
perfectly
seene
in
all
manner
of
Sciences
,
especially
in
the
Mathematicks
,
but
farre
more
to
be
commended
for
his
singular
honesty
,
and
faithfull
integritie
(
rare
vertues
in
this
Age
)
his
name
for
this
time
shall
be
Musaeus
;
since
his
Modestie
forbids
me
to
call
him
otherwise
.
After
the
first
salutation
,
and
some
familiar
discourse
,
hee
seriously
eyed
me
,
and
beholding
the
fresh
markes
of
my
teares
on
my
Cheekes
,
saith
:
I
doe
not
aske
you
,
what
discourse
you
entertaine
your selfe
withall
,
I
reade
it
in
your
countenance
,
good
men
are
little
busied
,
but
with
the
apprehension
of
the
Publique
calamity
.
This
wound
striketh
vs
so
sharpely
,
that
wee
cannot
but
point
at
it
:
But
how
is
it
?
Yesterday
when
I
visited
you
,
I
found
you
in
the
same
case
:
For
the
first
time
I
made
no
shew
of
any
reprehension
,
but
seeing
you
continue
,
and
suffer
your selfe
to
be
ouer-runne
with
passion
,
I
must
needes
aske
you
,
what
you
haue
done
with
your
Phylosophy
?
I
seeke
you
in
your selfe
,
for
I
cannot
beleeue
,
that
hee
,
from
whom
I
receiued
so
much
comfort
,
can
now
bee
wanting
to
himselfe
.
There
is
nothing
so
iust
,
as
for
one
to
receiue
that
which
he
hath
prescribed
another
:
either
restore
me
to
the
libertie
of
weeping
,
that
your
discourses
tooke
from
me
,
or
else
obey
the
law
,
your selfe
ordayned
for
sorrow
.
O
deere
Musaeus
,
I
learne
now
by
experience
,
how
much
easier
it
is
to
speake
then
to
doe
:
and
how
weake
,
and
sinew-lesse
the
arguments
of
Phylosophy
are
in
the
Schoole
of
Fortune
.
Shall
I
tell
you
freely
,
what
I
thinke
of
it
?
Our
Phylosophy
doth
nothing
but
bragge
,
and
boast
;
she
triumphes
in
the
shadow
of
a
Schoole
,
with
her
foyles
in
her
hand
:
It
is
good
sport
to
see
her
stand
on
her
gard
,
shewing
her
seuerall
postures
,
and
so
nimbly
defending
her selfe
,
that
you
would
thinke
it
were
impossible
that
any
worldly
crosse
should
come
so
neere
as
to
giue
her
a
hit
;
but
let
her
come
in
open
Field
,
with
naked
Sword
,
and
that
Fortune
chaunce
but
to
strike
her
one
sound
clappe
,
shee
is
quickly
daunted
and
disarmed
.
This
griefe
which
with
words
wee
striue
withall
,
is
a
faigned
thing
,
like
those
woodden
men
,
or
Quintanes
,
set
vp
for
Countrey-Boyes
disport
,
which
suffer
themselues
to
bee
aymed
at
,
and
receiue
the
blow
defencelesse
.
True
griefe
is
another
thing
,
it
is
liuely
,
vigorous
,
and
stirring
:
it
assaulteth
,
and
surpriseth
vs
,
and
gripeth
vs
so
fast
,
that
it
leaues
vs
helpelesse
.
Hath
it
once
touched
vs
?
Let
vs
set
as
good
a
face
on
't
as
wee
can
,
it
smarteth
neuerthelesse
:
and
though
for
a
time
we
gnash
our
teeth
,
obstinately
induring
the
paine
,
for
feare
wee
should
confesse
what
trouble
it
is
;
yet
in
the
end
,
it
will
make
it selfe
knowne
,
and
wrest
from
forth
our
brest
,
those
groanes
,
and
sighes
,
that
we
refused
to
graunt
vnto
it
voluntarie
.
No
,
beleeue
it
,
that
in
such
fits
as
these
,
Nature
and
our
Phylosophy
cannot
agree
together
:
You
must
choose
which
of
the
two
you
will
keepe
.
Had
you
power
to
expell
Nature
,
that
is
the
lawfull
Mistresse
of
our
passions
;
and
which
shee
fearing
,
that
wee
might
suffer
our selues
to
bee
beguiled
with
slye
words
,
and
alluring
discourses
,
and
so
withdraw
vs
from
her
obedience
,
keepeth
within
vs
a
garrison
of
her
affections
,
which
narrowly
obserue
and
watch
vs
,
and
vpon
all
occasions
that
are
offered
,
exact
from
vs
the
tribute
that
we
owe
her
?
Either
teares
are
no
naturall
signes
and
markes
of
a
true
griefe
,
or
else
wee
ought
to
yeeld
them
to
the
Euill
wherein
Nature
is
most
offended
,
which
is
in
the
ruine
&
subuersion
of
our
Countrey
;
for
by
that
fatall
Blow
are
wounded
all
those
,
that
are
conioyned
to
vs
eyther
in
Bloud
,
Friendship
,
or
Alliance
:
but
if
wee
haue
no
feeling
of
their
paines
,
and
compassion
of
their
miseries
;
I
say
,
that
then
wee
violate
and
infringe
both
Ciuill
Lawes
and
naturall
Pietie
,
and
the
Maiestie
it selfe
of
that
great
God
,
whose
Spirit
resteth
among
vs
,
as
a
Protector
of
the
rights
of
human
society
.
I
was
already
offended
with
your
troublesome
Philosophie
,
which
forbiddeth
vs
teares
:
but
reading
to
day
an
ancient
Author
,
I
resolued
to
driue
her
away
spightfully
,
so
pleasing
was
a
place
to
me
,
I
lighted
on
by
chance
,
wherein
he
writeth
,
That
in
the
Towne
of
Cumae
,
there
was
a
Statue
of
Apollo
,
which
was
seene
to
weepe
,
and
shed
forth
teares
,
when
the
Romans
destroyed
the
Towne
from
whence
it
was
fetcht
,
as
being
grieued
that
its
Countrey
should
be
ruined
,
and
that
not
able
to
assist
,
because
the
ruine
of
it
was
fatall
,
and
had
beene
by
Apollo
long
fore-told
.
And
shall
a
Marble
Statue
finde
teares
to
deplore
its
Countrey
,
and
I
finde
none
to
bemoane
mine
?
Being
remooued
so
farre
off
,
it
suffered
for
the
calamities
of
its
fellow
Citizens
;
and
shall
not
I
sigh
vpon
the
view
of
mine
,
and
amidst
all
their
miseries
?
No
,
no
,
I
am
a
true-hearted
subiect
;
I
am
bred
and
borne
in
the
Towne
,
which
I
see
now
exposed
to
ruine
:
beleeue
this
,
that
a
man
whose
eyes
are
without
moysture
at
this
present
,
had
need
to
haue
a
heart
of
Stone
;
yea
,
I
thinke
,
if
Pietie
were
not
fled
out
of
the
World
,
wee
should
weepe
as
well
as
the
Cumaan
Apollo
,
for
our
reasons
(
I
am
sure
)
are
greater
.
This
faire
Citie
,
the
Metropolis
of
the
most
renowmed
Kingdome
of
the
Earth
,
the
Seat
of
our
Kings
,
the
Throne
of
Iustice
,
and
Estate
,
and
as
a
common
Temple
to
all
France
;
to
perish
in
our
view
,
and
euen
by
our
hands
:
the
Richesse
of
her
Citizens
,
the
Magnificence
of
her
Buildings
,
the
Learning
of
so
many
famous
men
,
that
shee
hath
brought
vp
,
could
neyther
saue
,
nor
helpe
her
.
O
how
fitly
did
an
ancient
Author
expresse
the
power
of
God
,
vnder
the
Name
of
Fortune
,
when
hee
said
,
That
when
shee
had
resolued
vpon
any
thing
,
shee
blinded
the
eyes
of
man
,
for
feare
hee
should
interrupt
her
purpose
!
Consider
a
little
,
how
wee
haue
almost
euery
one
of
vs
vnawares
giuen
way
to
our
owne
ruines
,
and
affoorded
our
helping
hands
to
the
plucking
downe
euen
of
our
owne
houses
:
for
you
know
Musaeus
,
what
infinite
number
of
men
,
euen
of
the
wisest
amongst
vs
,
haue
combined
to
set
forward
this
designe
,
and
cast
vs
into
this
boysterous
storme
of
worst
then
Ciuill
Warres
.
Behold
,
wee
are
in
it
,
since
that
it
is
Gods
pleasure
,
at
the
Eue
of
a
great
shipwracke
,
wherein
wee
must
feare
alike
the
rage
and
furie
of
our
zealous
Domestickes
,
thirsting
after
the
bloud
of
those
that
wish
for
the
publique
welfare
,
and
the
violence
that
may
happen
from
those
that
are
abroad
,
which
should
be
inflicted
promiscuously
against
good
and
bad
;
and
in
this
Sea
of
Miseries
,
you
will
forbid
me
teares
.
As
farre
as
I
see
,
replyed
hee
,
this
time
causeth
euery
one
to
shift
sides
,
which
perhaps
is
the
fault
of
the
age
:
for
my
owne
part
,
I
haue
euer
maintained
Nature
against
your
Phylosophy
,
for
in
my
conceit
,
you
made
her
too
powerfull
,
and
would
haue
giuen
her
a
commission
too
violent
,
and
tyrannicall
.
But
it
falleth
out
commonly
,
that
the
wrong
that
is
done
to
one
,
whom
we
loue
not
,
reconcileth
vs
to
him
,
and
mooueth
vs
for
pittie
sake
to
vndertake
his
defence
.
I
see
you
dishonour
the
day
,
and
disgrace
Phylosophy
,
that
hath
so
tenderly
,
and
deerely
fostered
vs
,
and
that
you
suffer
passions
to
treade
vpon
her
,
who
dares
not
so
much
as
to
defend
her selfe
.
You
surnamed
her
afore
Queene
of
this
Life
,
Mistresse
of
our
Affections
,
Tutrix
of
our
Felicitie
;
and
now
you
onely
keepe
her
as
a
Buffoone
,
to
spend
your
idle
time
withall
:
entertaine
her
at
least
as
one
that
is
descended
of
noble
Stocke
,
you
haue
no
reason
to
forsake
her
;
if
you
will
diuorce
your selfe
,
restore
vnto
her
the
libertie
she
brought
your
house
,
let
her
retire
with
safe
honour
,
and
with
all
her
rights
and
priuiledges
.
As
for
my
part
,
I
maintaine
her
free
,
and
professe
my selfe
a
protector
of
her
libertie
:
I
dare
not
giue
her
the
power
,
to
take
away
from
body
and
soule
the
sence
of
paines
and
griefe
,
for
I
know
it
ought
to
giue
way
to
naturall
affections
:
but
I
hold
,
it
keepeth
in
,
and
restrayneth
sorrows
within
their
bounds
,
and
bankes
,
which
otherwise
would
ouerflow
the
soule
,
and
in
time
will
qualifie
,
and
asswage
those
swelling
euils
.
I
see
by
your
countenance
that
you
are
too
much
incensed
,
and
will
agree
to
nothing
:
here
come
happily
two
of
our
best
friends
,
vnto
whose
iudgement
I
hope
you
willingly
submit
,
and
as
for
my
part
,
I
am
content
to
stand
to
their
triall
.
Now
these
were
two
famous
men
:
the
first
,
whom
for
this
time
we
will
name
Orpheus
,
besides
the
knowledge
of
Arts
and
Learning
,
hee
hath
purchased
himselfe
by
his
long
and
dangerous
trauels
great
experience
:
Tho
other
shall
be
called
Linus
,
who
is
knowne
for
one
of
the
most
learned
in
Europe
,
whose
iudgement
and
sinceritie
is
much
esteemed
.
O
Musaeus
,
you
haue
(
quoth
I
)
chosen
Iudges
that
I
cannot
refuse
,
for
indeed
they
are
not
chosen
,
but
rather
as
I
beleeue
,
they
are
sent
vnto
vs
euen
as
the
gods
that
were
let
downe
by
deuice
in
Tragedies
,
to
act
some
great
exploite
beyond
the
power
of
man
.
For
my
part
,
I
hold
my
opinion
to
be
so
sound
and
true
,
and
so
deepely
printed
in
my
heart
,
that
none
,
but
such
holy
hands
as
theirs
can
roote
it
out
.
Vpon
this
we
drew
neere
and
saluted
each
other
.
We
feare
(
quoth
they
)
we
hinder
your
discourse
,
wherein
it
seemeth
you
are
farre
gone
,
and
by
your
lookes
wee
iudge
you
disagree
.
You
guesse
well
(
quoth
Musaeu
)
and
you
are
seasonably
come
to
reconcile
vs
,
for
wee
haue
assigned
you
Iudges
of
our
controuersie
.
The
precept
of
the
wise
,
forbiddeth
vs
to
be
Iudges
betwixt
our
friends
,
yet
we
will
do
our
best
to
reconcile
you
:
but
we
must
tell
you
freely
,
we
haue
come
farre
,
therefore
giue
vs
leaue
to
sit
.
Then
Linus
began
to
tell
,
that
he
heard
a
pittifull
Historie
of
a
poore
woman
,
which
for
want
of
Bread
to
giue
her
Children
,
hanged
her selfe
on
a
Beame
in
the
toppe
of
the
house
.
And
I
(
quoth
Orpheus
)
did
see
euen
now
,
a
poore
maid
,
that
fell
downe
starke
dead
for
lacke
of
foode
:
and
a
little
after
,
I
met
some
poore
folkes
,
feeding
vpon
a
dead
Dogge
,
all
besmeared
with
bloud
,
that
they
had
broyled
;
and
as
I
auoyded
this
grieuous
Spectacle
,
I
met
with
certaine
Women
that
cryed
out
and
said
,
That
the
Lanskenets
had
eaten
vp
Children
,
hard
by
a
place
that
is
called
the
Temple
,
which
I
cannot
beleeue
.
Hearing
this
,
wee
all
burst
out
into
sighes
:
whereupon
I
replyed
,
my
cause
is
gayned
;
since
none
here
could
forbeare
,
but
needes
must
,
vpon
recitall
of
this
pittifull
Historie
,
expresse
how
sensible
they
are
of
the
publike
miserie
.
I
leaue
it
then
to
your
consideration
to
imagine
,
how
wee
ought
to
quake
,
and
tremble
,
when
wee
bethinke
our selues
,
how
many
seuerall
sorts
of
Miseries
are
spred
ouer
this
vaste
and
populous
Citie
.
Alas
,
how
many
secret
Wounds
is
there
that
are
hidden
and
couered
by
shame
?
then
how
great
and
fearefull
are
the
Calamities
wee
fore-see
,
expect
,
and
cannot
almost
auoyd
.
You
vpbraid
me
with
my
teares
Musaeus
,
but
you
may
with
better
reason
obiect
vnto
me
the
hardnesse
of
my
heart
,
which
is
the
onely
impediment
that
so
sharpe
and
stinging
griefe
doth
not
at
one
instant
end
both
my
life
and
sorrowes
.
Then
turning
towards
Orpheus
,
and
Linus
,
I
gaue
them
to
vnderstand
,
what
discourses
passed
betweene
Musaeus
and
my selfe
,
and
vpon
what
points
wee
differred
:
Which
when
they
heard
,
Our
good
Fortune
(
quoth
Orpheus
)
hath
brought
vs
hither
in
a
very
luckie
time
,
to
heare
so
learned
Disputations
:
but
Musaeus
,
since
you
haue
done
vs
the
honour
to
giue
credit
to
vs
,
giue
vs
also
leaue
to
make
vse
of
the
authoritie
you
haue
granted
vs
,
and
in
stead
of
discoursing
and
demonstrating
your
Propositions
,
apply
them
,
and
make
triall
of
their
vertue
vpon
vs
,
whereof
you
boast
,
against
this
irkesome
disease
of
the
minde
,
which
is
the
griefe
that
we
all
receiue
from
the
publique
miserie
:
you
haue
a
faire
and
large
subiect
,
for
I
verily
beleeue
,
there
is
not
one
of
vs
,
whose
minde
is
free
from
this
disease
.
I
assure
my selfe
,
that
if
Antiquitie
hath
inuented
any
medicine
for
the
curing
of
a
troubled
minde
,
you
are
the
likest
to
haue
got
the
best
and
profitablest
receipts
.
But
I
feare
it
falleth
out
here
,
as
it
doth
in
your
Mathematicall
demonstrations
,
wherein
you
prooue
by
a
thousand
faire
Propositions
,
what
no
Artificer
can
make
vse
of
,
eyther
vpon
Wood
or
Stone
.
Proceede
then
,
and
make
your
accompt
;
if
you
can
asswage
our
minde
,
and
free
vs
from
this
griefe
wherewith
we
are
vexed
,
then
your
suit
is
granted
;
for
deedes
are
stronger
proofes
then
words
:
besides
,
if
you
beguile
vs
,
you
shall
doe
vs
but
a
curtesie
to
rid
vs
of
so
great
an
Euill
,
&
so
I
am
sure
our
Land-Lord
will
be
glad
to
be
ouercome
,
for
he
shall
gaine
by
the
losse
.
I
will
doe
my
best
endeauour
to
content
you
(
quoth
Musaeus
)
but
let
me
intreate
you
,
to
remember
that
we
labour
in
a
common
peece
of
worke
:
therefore
,
if
I
chance
in
rehearsall
of
this
matter
,
to
forget
materiall
reasons
;
that
you
call
to
minde
,
and
supply
my
wants
,
since
that
our
strife
is
onely
to
try
Truth
out
:
and
to
the
end
Reason
may
ouercome
,
you
ought
the
more
to
fauour
her
side
,
in
respect
the
reward
of
victorie
is
equall
to
vs
all
.
The
chiefest
thing
to
be
obserued
in
the
curing
of
a
disease
,
is
rightly
to
know
the
cause
of
it
:
wherefore
,
if
wee
be
desirous
to
free
our
soule
from
sorrow
,
and
restore
it
to
a
quiet
estate
,
it
is
needefull
in
my
opinion
to
examine
from
whence
proceeds
the
maladie
which
torments
it
.
The
nature
of
man
hath
not
onely
a
great
proportion
and
correspondencie
with
the
whole
World
,
but
also
with
euerie
part
;
and
especially
me
thinkes
,
when
it
resembles
the
Royall
State
,
they
are
both
almost
of
like
conditions
,
and
subiect
to
like
casualties
.
The
Soueraigne
Prince
that
is
to
rule
a
multitude
of
men
,
Townes
,
and
Prouinces
,
appointeth
subordinate
Magistrates
:
And
to
direct
and
instruct
them
in
the
execution
of
their
charge
,
giues
them
his
Lawes
to
rule
their
Actions
by
:
and
besides
,
aduiseth
them
to
referre
doubtfull
and
important
matters
to
him
,
&
attend
his
censure
.
Certainly
,
as
long
as
this
Order
is
obserued
,
Subiects
obey
the
Magistrates
;
and
Magistrates
,
the
Law
and
Soueraigne
Prince
:
the
State
remaineth
in
Peace
,
flourisheth
,
and
wonderfully
prospereth
.
But
contrarie
,
when
those
which
iudge
and
rule
vnder
the
Soueraigne
,
suffer
themselues
to
be
ouer-reached
by
their
owne
softnesse
,
or
bribed
by
fauour
,
in
deciding
controuersies
,
and
that
without
respect
vnto
their
Soueraigne
;
they
make
only
vse
of
their
authoritie
,
for
the
execution
of
their
rash
Decrees
,
whereby
they
bring
all
things
to
ruine
and
confusion
.
In
man
,
the
highest
and
most
soueraigne
facultie
of
the
Soule
,
is
Vnderstanding
:
being
inthroned
in
the
highest
place
,
to
guide
and
conduct
all
his
liues
Actions
,
hath
appointed
and
ordained
an
vnder-facultie
,
that
we
call
Imaginatiue
,
to
dispose
and
iudge
by
the
representation
of
the
Sences
,
the
qualitie
and
condition
of
things
offered
,
with
authoritie
to
rouse
and
stirre
our
affections
,
for
execution
of
its
iudgement
.
And
least
that
Facultie
,
as
it
is
great
and
important
,
might
doe
any
thing
rashly
,
it
hath
proposed
vnto
it
as
a
Law
,
the
light
of
Nature
,
which
shineth
in
all
obiects
,
and
moreouer
hath
giuen
it
meanes
in
all
doubtfull
and
weightie
matters
,
to
haue
recourse
to
the
discourse
,
reason
,
and
counsell
of
it
that
commandeth
ouer
all
.
There
is
no
doubt
,
as
long
as
this
Order
is
kept
in
the
managing
of
mans
life
,
but
he
is
in
an
exceeding
happy
estate
,
and
that
this
great
,
and
generous
creature
,
sheweth
himselfe
worthy
to
be
the
master-peece
of
that
Soueraigne
Architect
that
created
him
.
But
I
know
not
what
ill
lucke
is
the
cause
man
doth
not
enioy
this
happinesse
:
for
this
Facultie
,
that
is
beneath
Vnderstanding
,
&
aboue
the
Sences
,
to
whom
belongeth
the
censure
of
things
,
suffereth
it selfe
for
the
most
part
to
be
corrupted
and
mis-led
,
and
so
conceiueth
rashly
;
and
after
it
hath
so
conceiued
,
stirreth
and
mooueth
our
affections
at
randon
,
and
leaueth
vs
full
of
trouble
and
vnquietnesse
.
The
Sences
,
true
Sentinels
of
the
Soule
,
set
abroad
to
view
all
Obiects
,
are
like
soft
waxe
,
on
which
is
printed
,
not
the
true
and
internall
Nature
,
but
onely
the
superficiall
and
externall
forme
of
things
:
they
present
their
Idea's
vnto
the
Soule
with
fauour
,
and
euen
with
a
fore-iudgement
of
their
qualitie
,
according
as
they
appeare
seuerally
pleasing
and
gracefull
to
them
;
and
not
as
they
are
profitable
and
necessarie
to
the
vniuersall
well-fare
of
man
:
and
moreouer
,
let
in
with
the
Idea's
,
the
fond
opinion
of
the
Vulgar
;
from
whence
is
framed
,
that
inconsiderate
Opinion
we
haue
of
things
,
that
they
are
good
or
bad
,
profitable
or
hurtfull
,
to
be
imitated
,
or
to
be
shunned
,
which
certainly
is
a
dangerous
guide
,
and
rash
mistresse
to
follow
,
and
iustly
such
as
our
Belleau
hath
set
it
forth
.
Opinion
that
is
constant
neuer
,
That
workes
in
vaine
,
and
striueth
euer
:
That
builds
her selfe
a
firme
assurance
,
Vpon
the
sands
of
light
inconstance
.
But
whosoeuer
will
carefully
obserue
her
effects
,
shall
find
her
farre
worse
then
he
describeth
her
:
for
she
is
no
sooner
bred
vp
,
but
she
without
respect
or
vnderstanding
,
seizeth
vpon
our
Imagination
,
and
there
,
as
if
she
were
within
a
Citadell
,
standeth
out
in
defiance
against
true
Reason
:
And
like
a
Tyrant
,
that
violently
hath
seized
on
a
Towne
by
force
,
setteth
vp
Wheeles
and
Gibbets
for
those
that
will
not
readily
obey
,
and
offereth
reward
to
those
who
will
follow
his
partie
.
Euen
so
,
when
she
intends
to
make
vs
flye
from
any
thing
,
she
setteth
it
forth
vnto
vs
,
with
a
horride
and
dreadfull
visage
:
but
when
she
would
delight
vs
,
she
painteth
it
ouer
,
and
giueth
it
a
smyling
countenance
,
whereby
she
slydeth
downe
into
our
hearts
,
and
stirreth
our
affections
with
violent
motions
of
hope
and
feare
,
sorrow
and
pleasure
:
and
because
she
would
be
sure
for
to
disquiet
vs
,
she
rouzeth
vp
our
passions
,
which
are
the
true
disturbers
of
our
Soule
.
But
amongst
all
the
other
,
and
aboue
all
the
rest
,
this
sorrow
,
wherewith
I
see
you
possessed
(
which
is
nothing
but
a
decay
of
Spirit
,
and
drooping
,
bred
by
the
opinion
we
haue
,
that
we
are
afflicted
with
great
misfortunes
)
is
a
dangerous
Enemie
to
our
rest
:
for
it
is
incredible
,
how
much
this
rust
and
mouldinesse
,
that
is
gathered
in
the
Soule
by
such
accidents
,
is
contrarie
to
Nature
,
and
doth
blemish
and
disfigure
her
workemanship
:
it
marreth
her
Faculties
,
dulleth
and
benummeth
her
Vertues
:
when
contrariwise
she
should
rouze
vp
her selfe
,
to
withstand
the
mischiefes
that
threaten
vs
,
and
letteth
into
our
hearts
a
deeper
cause
of
our
griefe
.
Now
since
she
is
hurtfull
to
vs
,
me
thinkes
we
should
beware
of
her
;
and
to
the
end
she
may
not
deceiue
vs
,
discouer
,
and
diligently
view
her
before
she
hath
got
footing
in
vs
,
&
withstand
her
in
the
verie
Frontiers
.
And
whereas
she
would
insinuate
her selfe
vnder
the
name
of
Nature
;
let
vs
obserue
that
she
is
an
Enemie
to
her
,
who
only
maketh
a
shew
,
as
if
she
would
ease
our
paine
.
But
let
vs
take
notice
how
she
encreaseth
it
,
as
much
as
she
can
.
She
seemeth
to
be
deuout
,
and
religious
,
let
vs
bring
forth
her
deceit
and
impietie
:
when
as
she
would
slip
in
by
the
fauour
of
Errour
,
let
vs
driue
her
away
by
the
authoritie
of
Reason
and
Truth
.
First
of
all
,
to
shew
that
she
cannot
be
sheltered
vnder
the
name
of
Nature
,
that
she
proceedeth
not
from
her
,
and
is
not
a
common
Affection
,
where
with
all
men
be
tormented
alike
:
doe
we
not
see
those
things
that
cause
griefe
and
sorrow
to
some
,
to
breed
mirth
and
delight
in
others
?
That
one
Prouince
weepeth
,
for
what
another
laugheth
?
That
such
as
come
neere
them
that
mourne
and
lament
,
doe
exhort
them
to
be
of
a
good
resolution
,
and
leaue
off
their
teares
?
Heare
the
most
part
of
them
that
are
afflicted
,
when
you
haue
spoken
with
them
,
and
they
haue
taken
time
and
leysure
to
examine
their
owne
passions
:
they
will
confesse
,
it
is
a
folly
to
be
vexed
,
and
within
three
houres
after
,
will
prayse
them
that
haue
manfully
withstood
Fortune
in
their
aduersities
,
and
incountered
their
owne
afflictions
with
a
bold
and
generous
courage
.
So
that
in
all
this
,
there
is
neither
equalitie
nor
certaintie
,
as
there
is
in
the
workes
of
Nature
:
and
thereby
it
appeareth
,
that
men
doe
not
frame
their
moane
to
their
sorrow
,
but
to
the
opinion
of
those
they
liue
withall
.
Remember
I
pray
you
that
publique
mourning
,
the
Ancients
did
so
much
affect
.
What
doe
you
say
of
them
that
were
hired
to
weepe
and
lament
in
Funerals
?
The
teares
which
came
from
others
eyes
,
that
were
shed
onely
to
bee
seene
,
and
were
dryed
vp
as
soone
as
they
were
not
looked
on
:
were
they
naturall
,
or
artificiall
?
What
was
the
intent
of
those
that
were
hired
,
and
likewise
of
those
that
hired
them
but
onely
to
submit
themselues
vnto
that
tyrannicall
opinion
forged
in
those
Countreys
,
that
in
such
accidents
it
behooued
vs
to
weepe
:
and
as
for
them
that
had
no
sorrow
of
their
owne
,
were
bound
to
buy
it
of
their
Neighbours
for
readie
money
?
Did
not
such
people
betray
their
owne
Reason
wittingly
,
and
purposely
prostitute
their
manlinesse
?
Shall
we
deeme
they
did
euer
learne
such
bad
conditions
in
the
Schoole
of
Nature
?
But
rather
in
the
Schoole
of
Opinion
,
that
teacheth
how
to
peruert
Nature
to
please
the
Vulgar
,
and
which
bringeth
forth
nothing
but
is
counterfeit
and
painted
.
For
proofe
of
this
,
will
you
behold
,
with
how
much
vanitie
,
it
breedeth
,
feedeth
,
and
bringeth
vp
this
sorrow
,
wherewith
we
are
so
much
tormented
?
I
pray
obserue
in
your selfe
,
and
in
all
those
that
are
afflicted
,
whether
those
things
shee
setteth
forth
vnto
vs
,
as
causes
of
our
griefe
,
doe
not
vex
vs
either
more
,
or
sooner
then
they
ought
to
doe
?
The
chiefest
instrument
she
hath
,
and
wherewithall
she
most
disturbeth
vs
,
consisteth
in
euils
to
come
.
She
hath
power
ouer
vs
onely
by
fraud
,
and
deceit
.
She
knoweth
,
that
the
crosses
we
stood
in
feare
of
,
prooue
not
so
heauie
when
they
are
come
,
as
we
did
imagine
them
,
and
are
asswaged
by
vse
,
and
custome
.
Therefore
she
casteth
her selfe
vpon
time
to
come
,
as
into
a
thicke
darkenesse
,
and
taketh
her
opportunity
,
euen
as
many
chuse
night
to
strike
men
with
feare
:
vpon
small
occasion
,
she
doth
then
represent
calamities
vnto
vs
,
as
they
doe
Robin-good-fellowes
vnto
little
Children
:
They
raise
,
abate
,
increase
,
and
lessen
them
at
their
pleasure
,
because
they
talke
vnto
them
of
things
they
neuer
saw
.
She
tormenteth
vs
with
Euils
that
are
not
:
but
in
regard
we
deeme
them
,
or
feare
them
to
be
so
,
and
which
doe
not
so
much
offend
vs
by
their
nature
,
as
by
our
apprehension
;
how
many
haue
we
seene
make
their
calamities
true
Euils
,
with
ouermuch
griefe
,
which
for
feare
to
be
wretched
,
are
become
so
,
and
haue
turned
their
vaine
timorousnesse
into
a
certaine
miserie
?
Some
haue
been
so
frighted
with
pouertie
,
that
they
haue
fallen
sicke
vpon
't
:
Others
through
iealousie
of
their
wiues
,
haue
been
driuen
into
a
consumption
:
And
the
like
may
be
said
well-neere
of
all
other
feares
,
wherein
for
the
most
part
,
it
serueth
vs
in
no
other
stead
,
but
to
make
vs
finde
,
what
we
seeke
to
auoide
.
Let
vs
feare
no
more
,
we
shall
haue
no
hurt
,
at
least
we
shall
not
haue
it
,
till
it
comes
;
and
let
it
come
when
it
will
,
it
will
neuer
be
so
bad
as
we
thought
it
.
As
for
me
,
I
beleeue
,
that
of
all
Euils
,
Feare
is
the
most
powerfull
,
and
troublesome
:
for
others
are
Euils
no
longer
then
they
last
,
and
the
paine
ceaseth
with
the
cause
.
But
Feare
is
,
of
that
which
is
,
of
that
which
is
not
,
of
that
which
perchance
shall
neuer
be
,
yea
,
many
times
of
that
which
cannot
be
.
O
tyrannicall
Passion
!
which
to
vex
man
,
goeth
beyond
Nature
,
and
by
our
discontents
,
extracteth
a
griefe
out
of
that
which
is
not
,
and
to
satisfie
the
opinion
of
a
fained
,
and
imaginarie
miserie
,
draweth
from
vs
sharpe
,
and
stinging
torments
.
Like
vnto
the
Painter
Parrhasius
,
who
the
better
to
expresse
the
fabulous
torments
of
Prometheus
,
put
his
Bond-slaues
to
the
Racke
.
Why
should
we
be
so
ambitious
to
our
harme
,
and
in
such
hast
meete
with
our
euils
?
Let
vs
take
a
little
patience
,
and
suffer
it
to
come
neere
;
happily
,
the
time
which
we
think
will
bring
vs
afflictions
,
will
afforde
vs
comfort
.
How
many
chances
may
there
fall
that
may
auert
the
blow
we
feare
?
A
Thunder
bolt
is
turned
away
with
the
wind
of
a
Hat
,
and
the
fortunes
of
powerfull
Kingdomes
,
are
altered
in
a
moment
:
a
turne
of
a
wheele
setteth
vp
that
which
was
downe
;
and
often
from
whence
we
expected
ruine
,
we
receiue
safetie
.
There
is
nothing
so
easie
to
be
beguiled
,
as
humane
Prudence
:
what
she
hopeth
for
,
miscarryeth
,
and
what
she
feareth
,
comes
to
passe
,
and
that
falleth
out
she
lookes
not
for
.
God
keepeth
his
counsell
by
himselfe
,
what
man
resolueth
vpon
one
way
,
he
determineth
another
.
Let
vs
not
make
our
selues
vnhappy
before
the
time
,
and
(
it
may
be
)
we
shall
not
be
so
at
all
.
Future
time
that
deceiueth
so
many
,
shall
as
soone
deceiue
vs
in
our
feares
,
as
in
our
hopes
.
It
is
one
of
the
chiefest
Maximes
in
Physicke
,
That
,
Predictions
are
neuer
certaine
in
sharpe
diseases
.
If
violent
motions
of
heate
,
bereaueth
the
Physitian
of
iudgement
;
what
wise
man
dare
be
so
bold
as
to
assure
any
thing
of
the
successe
of
our
Ciuill
dissentions
,
which
are
apparantly
seene
to
be
stirred
vp
,
and
maintained
by
a
more
then
human
power
?
It
is
a
hard
matter
to
warrant
the
safetie
of
our
State
,
but
it
is
likewise
vncertaine
to
fore-tell
his
ruine
.
How
many
Cities
,
States
,
and
Empires
,
haue
been
shaken
,
and
tottered
with
intestine
accidents
,
and
such
,
that
those
which
beheld
them
,
looked
certainly
for
their
fatall
period
;
and
neuerthelesse
,
haue
the
better
setled
themselues
,
and
become
more
puissant
and
flourishing
then
euer
they
were
?
Gainst
whom
in
entring
,
Fortune
in
hate
doth
burne
,
On
those
she
often
smiles
in
their
returne
.
It
is
his
pleasure
,
those
that
are
cast
downe
,
should
hope
still
;
and
shall
not
we
,
that
are
but
as
yet
declyning
?
The
Romanes
,
which
I
willingly
challenge
for
witnesses
in
braue
and
generous
Actions
,
as
the
renownedst
and
most
couragious
people
that
euer
were
in
the
world
,
had
great
cause
to
despaire
of
their
affaires
,
after
the
Gaules
had
sacked
their
Towne
,
and
with
Fire
and
Sword
rooted
out
the
very
Ground-plot
of
their
State
.
Notwithstanding
,
they
abated
neither
in
their
hopes
,
nor
affections
they
boare
their
Countrey
:
But
contrarie
,
aduersity
increased
their
courage
,
and
were
so
confident
as
to
bid
another
Battaile
,
wherein
Fortune
was
so
propitious
to
them
,
that
they
drew
many
braue
Triumphs
from
their
owne
ruine
.
After
the
losse
of
so
many
Battailes
against
Hannibal
,
and
that
they
had
wasted
all
the
Youth
of
their
City
;
in
so
many
incounters
,
and
disasters
,
had
they
not
cause
to
be
sore
troubled
?
Contrariwise
,
there
were
Citizens
found
,
which
bad
Money
for
the
Field
whereon
Hannibal
incamped
,
being
still
in
good
hope
of
the
publique
well-fare
.
And
to
passe
to
the
Ciuill
warres
(
which
are
commonly
the
fatall
&
deadly
maladies
of
great
States
)
Who
would
not
haue
thought
the
Roman
Common-wealth
had
been
strucke
dead
at
the
very
heart
,
vnder
Marius
and
Sylla
?
And
that
the
very
City
herselfe
vnder
Caesar
and
Pompey
,
was
carried
into
the
Pharsalian
Field
,
there
to
be
at
the
common
charge
and
cost
of
all
men
,
torne
and
buried
by
all
the
Nations
of
the
World
?
And
neuerthelesse
,
she
was
neuer
so
puissant
and
tryumphant
,
as
after
the
time
of
Marius
and
Sylla
.
And
the
warres
of
Caesar
and
Pompey
were
but
the
fits
and
gripings
of
bringing
forth
the
greatest
,
fairest
,
and
most
flourishing
Empire
of
the
World
.
But
to
returne
from
strange
Nations
to
our selues
:
Who
could
haue
beleeued
that
our
poore
State
,
laid
leuell
on
the
ground
,
at
the
comming
in
of
Charles
the
seuenth
,
hauing
almost
neither
pulse
nor
breath
,
should
haue
raysed
it selfe
againe
in
so
short
a
space
,
and
stretched
its
Armes
ouer
all
the
neighbouring
Prouinces
,
as
it
did
soone
after
vnder
his
next
Successors
?
One
may
say
of
the
fortunes
of
Townes
and
Kingdomes
,
as
they
doe
of
mans
diseases
,
As
long
as
there
is
life
,
there
is
hope
;
Hope
remaineth
in
the
body
,
as
long
as
the
Soule
.
But
well
,
let
vs
hope
for
nothing
,
let
vs
hold
our
Euils
for
certaine
,
although
they
be
vncertaine
:
let
vs
thinke
them
to
bee
present
,
though
they
bee
to
come
.
Doe
you
thinke
if
they
did
happen
,
they
were
so
irkesome
and
intollerable
as
wee
imagine
them
?
They
would
come
farre
short
.
Banishment
,
Pouerty
,
losse
of
Honours
,
losse
of
Children
,
wherewithall
is
composed
that
Hoast
of
Euils
which
so
tormenteth
vs
;
their
number
is
not
so
great
,
as
we
thinke
:
yet
whosoeuer
will
examine
them
one
after
another
,
shall
find
they
are
but
rascall
striplings
,
set
in
battle
array
,
to
affright
vs
;
if
we
be
armed
as
we
ought
,
none
of
them
dare
make
a
shot
,
our
very
lookes
will
defeate
and
scatter
them
.
Do
you
deeme
it
nothing
(
will
you
say
)
for
a
man
to
lose
his
countrey
,
and
so
to
be
enforced
to
change
his
dwelling
?
What
do
you
make
of
that
naturall
loue
wee
owe
vnto
our
country
?
I
do
but
the
same
which
Plato
did
,
when
he
forsooke
Athens
,
to
go
and
dwell
in
Sicill
and
Egypt
;
I
doe
but
the
same
as
you
had
done
your selfe
,
if
there
had
been
an
honourable
occasion
offered
to
you
,
to
go
Ambassadour
into
some
forraine
countrey
for
ten
or
twelue
yeeres
:
you
had
not
onely
forsooke
your
cittie
,
but
(
if
you
will
say
true
)
had
it
been
needfull
,
you
would
haue
forsooke
the
land
to
choose
a
ship
for
the
place
of
your
aboade
,
and
tye
your
life
to
the
tackling
of
a
Barke
.
Let
reason
perswade
you
to
that
,
which
a
little
Honour
would
haue
done
:
the
Commandement
of
your
Prince
,
that
had
charged
you
with
it
,
would
haue
made
you
like
it
well
:
Let
fate
,
and
necessitie
,
vnto
whom
you
owe
more
obedience
,
doe
the
same
.
How
many
men
is
there
euen
at
this
day
,
that
voluntarily
haue
banished
themselues
out
of
Europe
,
to
make
plantations
in
the
extremest
parts
of
Asia
?
See
them
,
they
prayse
their
Fortune
,
as
safe
,
and
sure
,
and
replenished
with
all
manner
of
happinesse
,
and
pittie
ours
as
altogether
wretched
,
full
of
pouertie
and
troubles
.
It
is
heauen
is
the
true
and
common
countrey
of
man
,
from
whence
they
are
come
,
and
whither
they
must
returne
:
and
that
is
the
reason
why
it
is
seene
,
&
sheweth
it self
to
euery
one
almost
whole
,
in
all
parts
of
the
earth
,
in
one
day
&
night
;
whereas
contrariwise
the
earth
that
is
but
a
small
point
in
comparison
of
it
,
and
all
which
she
incompasseth
with
her
Seas
,
and
watereth
with
her
Riuers
,
is
not
the
hundreth
and
sixtieth
part
of
the
magnitude
of
the
Sun
;
sheweth
her selfe
to
vs
onely
in
the
very
place
we
doe
inhabite
.
Would
we
tie
the
affections
of
man
to
so
narrow
an
obiect
,
as
a
corner
of
the
earth
?
and
inforce
him
,
for
to
be
happie
,
to
dwell
still
in
one
place
,
which
pleaseth
him
in
no
other
respect
then
that
he
may
leaue
it
when
he
listeth
?
Confine
him
to
that
country
wherein
hee
tooke
so
much
pleasure
,
it
will
become
irkesome
to
him
in
an
instant
.
He
that
liued
all
his
life
time
within
the
walles
of
his
towne
,
vntill
hee
was
fourescore
yeeres
of
age
,
died
for
griefe
as
soone
as
he
was
forbidden
to
goe
out
of
it
,
and
began
to
hate
that
he
did
enioy
by
force
,
and
to
loue
that
was
forbidden
.
And
that
braue
Roman
Rutilius
,
being
called
home
from
his
banishment
by
Sylla
,
would
not
returne
,
and
preferred
the
solitarinesse
of
his
Iland
,
before
the
greatnesse
and
magnificence
of
his
citie
.
See
in
how
short
a
time
he
had
learned
to
make
a
small
reckoning
of
his
countrey
,
he
had
rather
lose
the
sight
of
it
,
then
endure
the
sight
of
him
that
oppressed
its
libertie
:
hee
could
brooke
well
banishment
,
but
hated
the
Tyrant
.
But
question
him
,
hee
will
not
onely
tell
you
that
his
banishment
was
tollerable
,
but
will
set
it
out
to
you
to
be
sweet
and
full
of
pleasure
:
he
will
shew
you
that
all
his
vertues
followed
him
,
and
moreouer
had
purchased
the
friendship
of
Phylosophy
:
and
will
tell
you
further
he
hath
liued
no
longer
then
he
hath
beene
banished
.
It
is
no
other
then
an
imaginarie
Loue
that
you
bewayle
,
which
hath
no
roote
but
in
opinion
,
that
a
small
thing
may
plucke
out
.
To
a
wise
man
all
countreys
are
alike
,
or
at
least
,
as
Pompey
sayd
,
he
ought
to
esteem
that
his
countrey
where
he
hath
his
libertie
.
All
sorts
of
men
are
his
fellow-citizens
,
he
acknowledgeth
them
for
Allies
,
for
Kins-folkes
;
all
come
from
one
maine
stocke
,
which
is
the
hand
of
that
great
Father
who
hath
created
all
.
You
see
that
fortune
euen
leadeth
some
by
the
hand
out
of
their
countrey
,
to
make
them
great
and
mightie
in
a
Forraine
.
Reckon
vp
,
I
pray
you
,
the
Emperours
that
reigned
in
Rome
since
Traian
:
how
many
of
them
were
natiues
in
the
cittie
?
will
you
say
,
that
these
men
,
whereof
some
had
left
Spaine
,
some
Sclauonia
,
some
France
,
some
Africke
,
to
attaine
vnto
the
greatest
Empire
of
the
world
haue
bin
sorry
,
or
ought
to
wish
for
their
owne
countrey
?
yea
but
our
condition
shall
not
be
alike
,
wee
shall
come
from
the
sacking
of
a
towne
,
naked
as
from
a
shipwracke
,
and
shall
lose
all
our
fortunes
.
It
is
pouertie
then
we
feare
:
That
s
freely
spoken
.
And
what
is
it
to
feare
pouertie
?
but
to
loose
a
few
faire
moueables
that
we
haue
gathered
,
the
commoditie
of
a
house
well
furnished
,
a
soft
bed
,
meate
well
dressed
.
Take
off
the
Maske
from
our
complaints
,
&
then
you
shall
see
the
true
face
of
our
sorrow
.
We
are
effeminate
,
there
is
our
disease
.
A
man
that
hath
his
limmes
,
ought
he
to
complaine
of
pouertie
?
hee
that
hath
a
trade
,
ought
he
to
feare
it
?
He
that
is
brought
vp
in
learning
,
ought
he
to
fly
from
it
?
Extreme
pouerty
,
that
hath
not
wherewithall
to
suffice
Nature
,
doth
seldome
happen
:
Nature
dealeth
very
iustly
with
vs
,
she
hath
framed
vs
so
,
that
wee
stand
in
neede
of
few
things
.
If
we
apply
our selues
to
her
desires
,
we
shall
be
sure
of
sufficient
;
if
to
the
opinion
of
the
Vulgar
,
something
will
alwayes
seeme
to
be
wanting
.
This
other
pouertie
,
which
is
rather
mediocritie
and
frugalitie
,
is
to
be
desired
,
so
farre
it
is
from
being
dreadfull
:
It
is
that
Archesilaus
sayd
to
be
like
vnto
Ithaca
,
which
was
rough
and
harsh
,
but
did
bring
forth
generous
and
temperate
men
.
It
is
vertues
dowrie
,
and
especially
in
these
times
,
where
few
rich
haue
been
vertuous
,
and
few
vertuous
haue
been
rich
:
and
where
,
to
speake
in
a
word
,
nothing
hath
hindered
so
much
honest
men
from
getting
riches
and
honour
,
as
to
merit
them
.
What
strange
cares
doe
you
thinke
he
shall
dispoyle
vs
of
,
that
shall
bereaue
vs
of
our
fortunes
?
he
shall
make
vs
truly
Masters
of
our
selues
:
of
which
,
affaires
,
suits
in
law
,
&
quarrels
,
carry
away
the
greatest
part
:
it
shall
be
then
all
ours
,
we
may
then
imploy
it
as
we
list
.
O
false
goods
,
whosoeuer
should
know
you
rightly
,
would
deeme
you
to
be
true
Euils
!
Who
makes
vs
Bond-slaues
but
you
?
who
causeth
our
iniuries
but
you
?
who
taketh
away
our
liberty
but
you
?
who
tieth
vs
to
the
gates
of
Princes
,
makes
vs
Slaues
to
their
seruants
,
to
obserue
their
actions
,
bow
at
their
nods
,
but
you
?
O
Pelfe
,
none
can
prayse
you
,
but
must
dispraise
libertie
;
none
can
get
or
keepe
you
,
that
doth
not
lose
himselfe
;
and
neuerthelesse
you
are
called
Goods
.
Yes
,
as
conuenient
instruments
,
&
sometimes
necessary
to
worthy
actions
,
whereof
the
vse
is
so
ticklish
and
hard
,
that
it
seldome
happeneth
,
that
you
doe
more
good
then
harme
.
Now
I
grant
it
is
good
to
haue
wealth
;
yet
for
all
that
,
it
is
not
ill
to
haue
none
:
for
pouertie
and
richesse
are
indeed
seuerall
things
,
but
not
contrary
;
they
are
seuerall
Goods
,
seuerall
Instruments
of
Vertue
:
With
the
one
she
worketh
with
more
ease
;
with
the
other
,
to
more
perfection
.
But
howsoeuer
,
Pouertie
auaileth
more
to
attaine
to
that
soueraigne
Good
,
at
the
which
all
the
world
ought
to
ayme
,
which
is
the
rest
of
the
Soule
,
and
the
tranquilitie
of
the
Mind
.
How
many
haue
we
euen
at
this
day
,
which
for
the
selfe-same
cause
doe
embrace
wilfull
pouertie
?
How
many
which
thinke
not
themselues
free
,
but
since
the
day
they
made
themselues
poore
?
that
deeme
they
onely
liue
,
since
they
died
to
the
world
?
Since
that
our
life
is
so
short
,
and
we
must
depart
from
hence
without
carrying
any
thing
with
vs
,
is
it
not
for
our
ease
to
bee
as
lightly
loaden
and
incumbred
with
luggage
as
we
can
?
The
life
of
a
poore
man
is
like
vnto
them
,
who
sayle
close
by
the
shore
;
and
that
of
the
rich
,
vnto
those
that
are
in
the
mayne
.
These
cannot
land
would
they
neuer
so
faine
,
but
must
waite
for
Winde
,
and
Tide
;
those
come
neere
when
they
please
,
it
is
but
casting
a
small
rope
,
and
their
Barke
is
brought
instantly
into
the
Harbour
.
O
pouerty
,
how
many
things
art
thou
fit
for
!
he
that
should
know
thee
,
would
not
censure
thee
!
Alas
,
if
we
did
see
as
plainly
the
iealousies
,
feares
,
suspitions
,
terrors
,
and
desires
of
great
men
,
as
we
see
the
roofes
of
their
houses
,
and
forefronts
of
their
Pallaces
,
the
brightnesse
of
their
houshold
furniture
,
the
glittering
of
their
clothes
,
we
would
not
enuy
their
fortunes
.
If
one
should
say
to
vs
,
Loe
you
there
,
you
must
take
all
,
or
leaue
all
,
bethinke
your selues
whether
you
will
enioy
his
fortunes
with
all
his
incommodities
;
wee
would
goe
backe
,
and
neuer
goe
through
with
our
bargaine
,
and
deeme
our selues
happy
in
our
pouertie
.
If
it
were
as
bad
as
they
make
it
,
we
should
not
so
highly
prayse
the
Fabritii
,
Serrani
,
Curii
,
for
that
frugalitie
,
when
they
refused
Gold
and
Siluer
to
till
the
ground
,
delights
and
pleasures
to
embrace
labour
,
and
dsinties
to
feed
vpon
Bread
and
Onions
.
What
was
it
else
,
but
a
voluntarie
Pouertie
?
It
is
a
wonderfull
thing
,
when
wee
iudge
of
Pouertie
in
strangers
,
she
gaineth
her
cause
;
she
goeth
away
with
prayse
and
reputation
:
what
is
that
,
but
to
declare
that
our
priuate
interest
doth
corrupt
and
hinder
vs
from
iudging
right
when
as
it
concerneth
our selues
?
Certainly
amongst
impartiall
persons
it
is
commendable
,
but
amongst
any
it
is
tollerable
.
Now
if
we
can
endure
Pouertie
,
how
much
easier
the
losse
of
our
dignities
&
honors
,
that
are
but
a
voluntarie
seruitude
,
by
which
we
are
depriued
of
our selues
to
be
bestowed
vpon
the
Common-wealth
?
Honours
,
that
alwayes
haue
brought
vnto
great
men
,
that
haue
worthily
managed
them
,
banishment
and
pouertie
?
Remember
the
Histories
of
the
Ancients
,
and
when
you
finde
a
Magistrate
,
who
boare
any
great
sway
with
either
Prince
or
Common-wealth
,
and
that
desired
to
carry
himselfe
worthily
,
&
speake
freely
.
I
will
hold
you
a
wager
,
that
this
man
was
banished
▪
that
was
killed
,
another
poysoned
.
At
Athens
,
Aristides
,
Themistocles
,
and
Phocion
;
at
Rome
infinite
,
whose
names
I
spare
,
for
feare
of
filling
Paper
,
contenting
my selfe
with
Camillus
,
Scipio
,
and
Cicero
for
antiquitie
;
Papinianus
for
the
time
of
the
Romane
Emperours
;
and
Boetius
vnder
the
Goths
.
But
why
should
wee
fetch
them
so
farre
off
?
whom
haue
wee
seene
in
our
time
keepe
the
great
Seale
of
France
,
that
hath
not
been
preferred
to
this
place
,
with
an
intent
he
should
be
thrust
from
it
with
disgrace
?
he
that
had
seene
my
Lord
Chancellor
Oliuer
,
or
my
Lord
Chancellour
de
l'Hospital
,
goe
from
the
Court
to
retire
themselues
into
their
owne
houses
,
questionlesse
would
say
,
that
such
honours
are
but
as
so
many
rockes
and
shelues
of
sand
,
whereon
Vertue
may
split
her selfe
.
Present
vnto
your
memory
those
braue
and
venerable
Ancients
,
in
whom
all
manner
of
vertues
did
shine
;
in
whom
,
amongst
an
infinite
number
of
exquisite
parts
you
could
not
tell
what
to
choose
,
endowed
with
learning
,
exceedingly
well
experienced
in
all
affaires
,
louers
of
their
countrey
,
and
truly
worthy
of
such
places
,
if
the
time
had
not
been
vnworthy
of
them
.
After
they
had
a
long
time
tired
out
themselues
in
the
common-wealth
,
they
pickt
idle
and
sleight
quarrels
,
and
false
accusations
to
put
them
from
affaires
of
state
,
or
rather
depriue
the
state
as
a
tossed
ship
,
of
the
directions
of
so
wise
and
experienced
Pilotes
,
whereupon
she
might
the
sooner
suffer
wracke
.
It
is
ambition
at
all
times
to
desire
publicke
offices
;
and
faint-heartednesse
to
moane
for
them
when
they
are
gone
;
in
this
time
it
is
madnesse
,
in
this
I
say
,
wherein
the
Magistrates
authoritie
doth
humbly
,
yea
shamefully
serue
the
passions
of
those
,
that
haue
the
power
in
their
hands
,
in
a
time
where
Freedome
is
capitall
,
and
Truth
offensiue
,
where
publike
Misery
imploreth
your
helpe
,
and
the
violence
of
the
wicked
stoppeth
your
mouth
.
It
was
not
counsell
Cato
gaue
vnto
his
sonne
,
but
an
oracle
he
vttered
to
men
of
our
times
,
when
he
aduised
him
not
to
meddle
with
affaires
of
state
:
Because
(
quoth
he
)
the
liberty
of
the
time
will
not
afford
thee
to
do
any
thing
worthy
the
name
of
Cato
,
nor
Catoes
name
to
do
any
thing
vnworthy
his
generositie
.
As
for
me
,
I
accuse
them
that
keepe
yet
publike
offices
,
&
beleeue
that
if
there
be
any
thing
wherein
threatning
Fortune
may
fauour
vs
,
it
is
to
discharge
good
men
of
that
burthen
,
that
presseth
their
shoulders
so
sore
.
So
it
is
,
that
whosoeuer
will
reckon
his
honors
among
his
losses
,
like
vnto
those
that
are
to
be
lamented
,
and
which
may
bee
alleged
for
a
iust
cause
of
sorrow
,
like
vnto
these
we
feare
;
I
esteeme
him
to
be
ouer-nice
,
and
censure
him
from
this
present
,
vnworthy
of
the
dignity
hee
feareth
to
lose
.
But
,
some
one
will
say
,
what
will
you
answer
concerning
the
losse
of
our
friends
,
our
kins-folkes
,
our
children
,
whereof
we
are
threatned
by
such
accidents
as
we
feare
?
I
will
answer
you
,
that
although
it
were
come
to
passe
,
that
the
ruine
of
our
towne
had
ouerwhelmed
them
,
we
should
haue
wherewithall
to
confort
our selues
,
for
death
would
be
very
welcom
vnto
them
;
we
are
not
discontented
,
in
my
opinion
,
for
that
they
are
borne
mortall
,
&
therfore
they
must
die
one
day
,
but
only
that
they
die
at
this
time
:
we
are
not
to
learn
that
since
they
be
borne
men
,
they
must
be
respected
from
vs
,
they
must
either
go
before
,
or
follow
vs
,
&
euen
as
well
in
peace
,
as
in
war
,
as
soone
by
sicknesse
,
as
by
sword
:
howsoeuer
it
be
,
they
cannot
auoyd
the
stroke
of
death
,
but
either
sooner
or
later
,
a
little
before
,
or
a
little
after
is
the
matter
troubleth
vs
so
much
.
Can
death
come
to
them
in
a
fitter
time
,
then
when
as
life
is
irkesome
?
if
they
were
to
wish
for
it
,
or
we
for
them
;
what
more
conuenient
season
could
they
choose
?
is
not
a
harbor
most
to
be
desired
,
when
we
are
extremely
weather-beaten
?
The
true
end
of
death
,
is
to
put
a
period
to
our
miseries
;
if
God
had
made
life
happier
,
he
had
also
made
it
longer
.
We
ought
than
to
bewaile
their
death
for
their
sake
,
&
to
do
it
for
our
own
were
vnseemely
:
for
it
is
a
kind
of
iniury
,
to
be
grieued
at
the
quiet
of
those
we
loue
,
because
we
are
disturbed
thereby
,
specially
concerning
the
losse
of
our
friends
:
there
is
a
remedy
left
to
vs
still
,
which
Fortune
how
harsh
and
cruell
soeuer
she
be
,
cannot
take
from
vs
;
for
if
wee
suruiue
them
,
we
haue
meanes
to
get
others
.
As
friendship
is
one
of
the
greatest
blessings
of
life
,
so
it
is
one
of
the
easiest
to
bee
obtained
:
God
maketh
man
,
and
man
maketh
friends
,
he
that
wanteth
no
Vertue
,
shall
neuer
want
friends
.
It
is
the
instrument
wherewith
they
be
made
,
&
wherwith
when
the
old
ones
are
lost
,
new-ones
are
procured
.
If
Phidias
had
lost
any
of
his
famous
Statues
,
what
meanes
had
he
to
repaire
that
losse
?
none
but
to
make
vp
again
such
another
:
Hath
Fortune
taken
away
our
friends
from
vs
?
Let
vs
make
new-ones
,
and
so
we
shall
not
lose
them
,
but
multiply
them
.
Those
shall
goe
afore
,
and
stay
for
vs
in
the
place
prepared
for
faire
and
pure
soules
,
and
the
others
shall
make
the
rest
of
our
way
more
delightsome
by
their
company
.
Perhaps
(
you
will
say
)
wee
may
take
patiently
those
aduersities
you
told
vs
of
;
for
,
to
speake
truely
,
that
striketh
but
vpon
the
gowne
,
and
toucheth
onely
what
is
about
vs
,
goods
,
honors
,
friends
&
children
;
but
if
the
euill
commeth
any
further
,
and
doth
penetrate
our
person
,
how
shall
we
doe
that
we
may
not
feele
it
?
or
feeling
it
,
we
may
not
torment
our selues
for
it
?
Forasmuch
as
you
foresee
,
that
if
the
fury
of
our
seditious
citizens
be
turned
once
vpon
vs
,
which
they
suspect
already
,
they
will
cast
vs
into
prison
,
put
vs
to
the
racke
,
and
rage
against
vs
as
they
haue
done
against
so
many
others
,
from
whom
we
haue
not
been
otherwise
distinguished
,
then
by
our
good
Fortune
;
or
else
as
we
are
neere
vpon
it
,
if
the
town
be
taken
or
surprised
,
and
is
sacked
,
and
spoyled
,
we
shall
fall
into
the
hands
of
barbarous
&
inhuman
souldiers
,
the
more
for
that
they
are
strangers
,
which
after
they
haue
beaten
and
tormented
vs
,
will
keepe
vs
in
a
wofull
thraldome
,
where
perhaps
we
shall
remaine
sicke
,
and
languishing
without
reliefe
;
it
may
be
they
will
add
torture
to
sickenes
:
And
in
the
end
we
shal
see
our selues
dying
in
this
misery
,
and
for
a
surcharge
,
we
shall
haue
about
vs
a
company
of
poore
little
children
,
voyd
of
al
comfort
,
and
to
whose
compassion
we
shal
affoord
nothing
but
sighes
.
What
minde
so
well
setled
will
be
able
to
endure
such
fits
?
and
finding
himselfe
in
such
a
remedilesse
agony
,
doth
not
curse
a
hundred
times
a
day
,
and
abhorre
the
houre
of
his
birth
,
wishing
rather
to
haue
been
abortiue
,
then
seasonably
borne
in
such
a
dangerous
time
.
I
confesse
this
to
be
the
hardest
,
and
most
irkesome
,
of
all
that
may
befall
vs
;
but
I
deny
it
intollerable
,
and
maintaine
that
Vertue
may
brauely
withstand
this
assault
,
get
the
victorie
,
and
keepe
our
minde
safe
vnder
her
Buckler
,
full
of
quiet
and
content
.
But
if
we
must
come
to
fight
,
let
vs
not
giue
our
enemies
more
aduantage
then
they
haue
already
;
let
vs
not
make
them
bigger
then
they
are
,
let
vs
not
suffer
them
to
come
in
a
throng
against
vs
;
let
vs
compell
them
to
come
one
by
one
to
the
breach
.
The
first
that
appeareth
to
fright
vs
,
is
a
number
of
long
&
tedious
diseases
.
Why
rather
now
then
20.
yeeres
a
goe
?
Do
we
thinke
diseases
to
be
more
frequent
and
troublesome
in
want
then
in
wealth
,
in
frugalitie
then
in
prodigalitie
?
Good
God
,
how
blinde
we
are
!
Did
wee
euer
finde
in
Cottages
the
Gout
,
the
Stone
,
the
Winde-collicke
,
or
the
Megrim
in
the
head
?
I
confesse
I
neuer
saw
any
there
,
and
yet
I
haue
diligently
obserued
it
.
All
such
euils
which
are
sharpe
and
stinging
diseases
,
are
most
commonly
in
cities
,
in
great
mens
Pallaces
:
they
are
the
Sees
of
Bankets
,
Feasts
,
Watchings
,
and
of
nights
passed
in
pleasing
sports
.
So
that
the
miseries
we
endure
,
amongst
other
commodities
they
bring
vnto
vs
,
they
take
a
way
the
cause
of
those
great
maladies
,
and
root
them
,
out
cutting
off
the
Fibers
&
Branches
of
pleasures
,
which
fed
and
maintained
them
.
But
admit
they
were
to
happen
,
where
may
they
be
better
cured
then
in
Pouertie
?
What
doe
you
thinke
there
is
in
the
Bookes
of
Galen
and
Hippocrates
,
wholsomer
to
all
,
or
at
least
to
most
diseases
,
then
Sobrietie
?
All
those
other
remedies
Physicke
hath
inuented
with
so
much
Art
and
industrie
,
are
almost
onely
for
Effeminate
people
,
which
would
be
cured
with
delight
,
and
abate
nothing
of
their
pleasures
,
choosing
rather
Art
then
Nature
for
their
Physitian
.
But
yet
I
will
grant
we
may
want
remedies
:
should
we
want
courage
for
all
that
?
Shall
we
suffer
our selues
to
be
subdued
by
paine
,
and
submit
that
which
is
absolute
and
soueraigne
in
vs
,
vnto
that
strange
power
?
It
were
too
great
a
weakenesse
,
seeing
the
meanes
Reason
and
Discourse
afford
vs
to
withstand
it
.
Either
the
Diseases
that
befall
vs
,
bring
with
them
a
violent
,
or
a
moderate
paine
:
if
it
be
moderate
,
it
is
easie
to
be
indured
:
We
that
are
vsed
to
suffer
,
ought
not
to
complaine
of
small
twitches
:
and
being
that
we
looke
for
greater
,
we
ought
to
giue
thankes
vnto
our
Destinie
,
for
quitting
vs
at
so
easie
a
rate
,
and
making
vs
lesse
wretched
,
then
we
made
account
to
haue
been
.
Briefly
,
who
can
endure
the
plaints
of
him
,
that
moaneth
for
a
touch
,
specially
in
a
season
where
no
body
is
free
from
Euill
?
If
the
Euill
be
violent
,
it
shall
be
short
;
Nature
doth
not
suffer
great
Euils
to
be
lasting
,
and
hath
giuen
them
that
comfort
,
that
their
quicknesse
doth
almost
take
away
the
sence
of
them
.
That
goeth
like
a
streame
,
in
an
instant
you
see
it
dryed
vp
,
and
know
not
what
is
become
of
it
:
so
short
an
Euill
giueth
you
no
time
to
complaine
;
it
is
past
,
afore
you
haue
taken
notice
of
it
:
if
you
escape
it
,
it
leaueth
you
with
a
kinde
of
pleasure
to
bee
out
of
it
;
if
it
beareth
you
away
,
it
carryeth
with
you
the
sense
of
the
paine
.
But
whatsoeuer
it
is
,
the
euill
can
neuer
be
so
great
,
but
reason
and
discourse
ought
to
ouercome
it
.
I
could
rehearse
vnto
you
the
examples
of
the
Ancients
,
not
of
men
,
but
euen
of
women
,
which
haue
indured
long
and
sharpe
diseases
with
so
much
constancy
,
that
paine
hath
bereaued
them
sooner
of
life
,
then
of
courage
.
But
why
should
I
go
seeke
them
so
farre
off
for
you
,
that
haue
a
domesticke-one
of
your
owne
,
farre
worthier
then
any
Antiquitie
can
affoord
?
I
meane
of
your
vertuous
and
deare
sister
,
which
in
that
raging
Collicke
of
sixe
moneths
,
that
in
the
end
carried
her
away
,
hath
shewed
so
constant
a
minde
,
so
inuincible
a
courage
,
that
her
speech
,
which
neuer
failed
her
vntill
the
very
end
,
was
a
comfort
vnto
them
that
saw
her
,
and
prayses
,
and
thankes-giuing
vnto
God
,
from
whose
hand
shee
receiued
consolation
and
strength
to
endure
the
euill
.
But
lesse
vs
passe
lightly
ouer
this
skarre
:
I
feare
in
stead
of
healing
a
new
wound
,
I
fester
an
olde
one
,
that
hath
so
liuely
and
deepely
touched
you
.
As
for
the
torments
we
are
to
feare
from
them
,
into
whose
hands
we
might
fall
;
we
ought
not
to
doubt
,
that
if
we
can
take
the
resolution
,
vnto
the
which
both
the
reasons
and
examples
heretofore
by
me
related
,
inuite
vs
,
but
we
shall
easily
ouer-rule
them
,
for
they
are
not
harder
to
be
borne
then
great
and
painfull
diseases
:
it
seemeth
rather
,
that
hauing
body
and
health
to
resist
them
,
Nature
doth
second
vs
in
this
fight
,
and
to
put
the
victorie
into
our
hands
.
It
is
incredible
,
what
power
Reason
and
Discourse
haue
in
this
place
,
nor
onely
to
make
vs
constant
,
but
euen
to
make
paine
appeare
to
vs
sweet
and
pleasant
.
It
were
an
infinite
thing
to
alledge
the
examples
of
those
,
which
haue
not
onely
with
an
vndaunted
courage
waited
for
torments
,
but
perswaded
by
Reason
,
haue
sought
and
endured
them
with
a
kinde
of
pleasure
.
You
know
,
how
that
in
Lacedaemonia
,
young
Children
whipped
one
another
,
when
one
could
not
perceiue
in
their
face
any
token
or
apprehension
of
pain
:
What
then
?
were
they
insensible
?
No
certainly
,
but
in
those
tender
yeeres
they
had
so
fully
perswaded
themselues
,
that
it
was
a
great
glory
,
to
suffer
and
endure
,
to
doe
their
Countrey
seruice
,
that
by
their
courage
they
easily
ouercame
paine
,
and
griefe
,
and
laughed
at
that
,
others
were
wont
to
weepe
for
.
Cannot
we
for
the
honour
of
Vertue
doe
the
like
as
they
did
for
the
honour
of
their
Countrey
?
And
for
the
quietnesse
of
our
Minde
,
that
which
they
did
for
the
good
of
their
Common
wealth
?
Alexanders
Page
suffered
himselfe
to
be
burned
with
a
Cole
,
and
made
no
shew
to
be
mooued
at
it
,
least
he
should
commit
any
vnseemely
thing
in
his
Masters
presence
,
and
trouble
the
Ceremony
of
the
Sacrifice
.
And
shall
not
we
in
the
presence
of
Men
,
Angels
,
Nature
,
and
of
God
himselfe
,
endure
somwhat
that
may
shew
we
can
accommodate
our selues
vnto
the
Lawes
of
the
World
,
and
to
the
Will
of
our
Soueraigne
?
Pompey
being
Ambassadour
for
the
Romanes
,
was
surprised
by
King
Gentius
,
that
indeauoured
to
wrest
from
him
Publique
affaires
:
but
to
shew
him
,
there
was
no
torture
that
could
draw
it
from
him
,
he
put
his
owne
Finger
in
the
Fire
,
and
suffered
it
to
burne
,
vntill
that
Gentius
himselfe
plucked
it
away
.
He
sought
torment
to
make
shew
of
the
strength
of
his
fidelitie
:
And
shall
we
betray
our
Soule
,
if
torments
befall
vs
?
And
forget
the
duetie
we
owe
vnto
that
,
that
is
Diuine
in
vs
?
Shall
we
then
beare
a
deiected
minde
,
and
inthrall
it
to
our
body
,
to
condole
and
suffer
paines
equall
with
it
?
Farre
more
generous
was
that
braue
Anaxarchus
,
that
halfe
bruized
in
the
Tyrants
Morter
,
would
neuer
confesse
his
minde
to
be
touched
with
paine
:
Stampe
on
(
quoth
he
)
the
case
of
Anaxarchus
,
for
as
for
him
you
cannot
hurt
.
Hence
came
that
faire
resolution
.
Hence
as
from
a
quick-spring
did
flow
that
Constancie
,
whereby
he
had
learned
to
despise
the
body
,
as
a
thing
that
is
not
our
owne
,
nor
in
our
power
,
and
vse
it
as
a
borrowed
garment
,
to
make
shew
for
a
time
of
our
minde
,
vpon
this
low
and
transitorie
Theater
.
Now
,
were
not
he
ouer-nice
that
should
howle
and
cry
out
,
because
his
Gowne
were
spoyled
,
or
a
Hooke
had
grapled
it
,
or
some
one
going
by
,
had
torne
it
?
some
base
Broker
,
that
would
make
gaines
of
such
Ware
,
would
complaine
of
it
.
A
Prince
,
a
great
Man
,
a
wealthy
Citizen
,
would
laugh
at
it
,
and
in
comparison
of
the
rest
of
his
wealth
,
would
make
no
reckoning
of
it
.
Let
vs
value
our selues
as
we
ought
to
doe
,
let
vs
be
curious
of
our
Honour
and
quietnesse
,
and
we
shall
make
little
account
of
all
our
body
can
suffer
in
this
World
.
Yea
,
but
the
paine
will
be
so
great
,
we
shall
lose
our
Life
by
it
,
and
shall
see
the
Thread
of
our
yeeres
cut
off
in
the
verie
middle
:
Who
can
free
himselfe
from
the
Feare
of
this
blow
,
that
euen
Nature
her selfe
doth
abhorre
?
for
though
Death
comes
in
due
time
,
yet
it
is
dreadfull
:
How
much
worse
will
it
be
when
it
is
hastened
,
and
gathereth
vs
vp
fresh
and
greene
,
in
the
very
prime
of
our
Youth
?
We
deceiue
our selues
,
our
Death
hath
nothing
dreadfull
of
her selfe
more
then
our
Birth
,
Nature
hath
nothing
that
is
strange
and
terrible
,
Death
is
amongst
vs
euerie
day
,
and
doth
not
scare
vs
,
We
dye
euerie
day
,
and
euerie
houre
of
our
Life
that
is
past
,
is
dead
.
It
is
not
the
last
drop
comes
out
of
the
Bottle
emptieth
it
,
but
finisheth
it
;
and
the
last
moment
of
our
Life
doth
not
cause
Death
,
but
only
sheweth
it
.
The
chiefest
part
of
Death
consisteth
in
that
wee
haue
liued
;
the
more
wee
desire
to
liue
,
the
more
wee
desire
Death
should
gaine
by
vs
:
but
from
whence
comes
this
desire
?
Euen
from
the
Opinion
of
the
Vulgar
,
that
measures
all
by
the
Yard
,
and
deemes
nothing
precious
that
is
not
great
;
whereas
exquisite
and
excellent
things
are
commonly
thinne
and
slender
.
It
is
the
part
of
a
skilfull
workman
to
enclose
much
in
a
little
space
;
and
we
may
say
,
that
it
is
almost
fatall
to
illustrious
men
to
dye
quickely
:
great
Vertue
and
long
Life
seldome
meetes
together
.
Life
is
measured
by
the
End
;
so
that
it
bee
good
,
all
the
rest
hath
its
proportion
;
quantitie
auayleth
nothing
,
to
make
it
more
or
lesse
happy
;
a
little
Circle
is
as
round
as
a
great
,
it
is
Figure
doth
all
.
Yet
you
will
say
,
one
would
wish
to
die
quietly
in
his
bed
,
amongst
his
owne
people
,
comforting
them
,
and
receiuing
comfort
from
them
againe
.
It
is
a
pittifull
thing
to
bee
killed
in
a
Corner
,
and
be
depriued
of
decent
Funerals
.
So
many
men
that
goe
to
the
wars
,
and
take
Post
to
bee
present
at
a
Battell
,
are
not
of
this
Opinion
.
They
are
going
to
die
all
aliue
,
and
burie
themselues
among
their
enemies
.
Little
children
feare
masked
men
;
vncouer
their
faces
,
they
feare
them
no
more
:
Euen
so
beleeue
mee
,
Sword
and
the
flames
of
Fire
terrifie
vs
in
the
manner
as
we
imagine
them
;
take
off
the
maske
,
the
Death
wherewith
they
threaten
vs
,
is
the
very
same
whereof
women
and
little
children
die
.
But
I
shall
leaue
behinde
little
children
without
helpe
or
assistance
:
as
if
those
children
belonged
more
vnto
you
,
then
vnto
God
;
as
if
you
loued
them
more
then
he
,
which
is
the
first
and
truest
Father
,
or
as
if
you
had
more
meanes
to
keepe
them
safe
then
hee
.
No
,
no
,
they
shall
haue
the
common
Father
of
all
the
world
,
that
shall
watch
ouer
them
,
and
preserue
them
vnder
the
wings
of
his
fauour
,
as
he
doth
all
his
creatures
from
the
greatest
to
the
least
.
Euils
then
are
neuer
so
great
,
as
our
Ambitious
Opinion
setteth
them
foorth
vnto
vs
;
shee
doth
fright
vs
by
her
guile
:
But
shee
doth
altogether
marre
and
corrupt
vs
,
when
as
shee
striues
to
perswade
vs
,
that
in
such
occasions
we
must
grieue
and
pine
our selues
.
Certainely
,
if
the
sorrow
it
bringeth
had
nothing
worse
then
the
deformitie
wherewithall
it
is
accompanyed
,
wee
ought
to
flye
from
it
with
might
and
maine
.
Obserue
it
,
as
soone
as
shee
getteth
into
vs
,
shee
filleth
vs
with
such
a
shame
,
wee
dare
not
shew
our selues
openly
,
nor
so
much
as
in
priuate
to
our
friends
;
after
we
are
once
seized
on
by
this
passion
,
we
seeke
nothing
but
an
odde
corner
to
lye
dreaming
in
,
and
shun
the
sight
of
men
:
we
will
haue
no
witnesses
to
our
actions
,
the
sight
of
our
friends
is
troublesome
to
vs
;
what
is
the
meaning
of
this
,
but
onely
that
she
condemneth
her selfe
,
and
doth
acknowledge
how
vncomely
she
is
?
would
not
you
thinke
she
were
a
woman
that
had
been
catcht
in
the
act
,
that
hideth
and
concealeth
her selfe
,
and
is
afraid
to
be
knowne
?
or
Terentius
his
Chaerea
,
that
hauing
attired
himselfe
like
an
Eunuch
,
to
performe
a
peece
of
knauerie
,
is
ouertaken
in
the
midst
of
the
street
,
or
in
a
strange
house
?
It
is
indeed
to
apparell
men
like
Eunuchs
;
yea
,
geld
them
altogether
,
as
to
suffer
them
to
fall
into
that
sorrow
which
bereaueth
them
of
whatsoeuer
they
haue
manly
and
generous
,
and
giueth
vs
all
the
countenances
and
infirmities
of
women
.
So
the
Thracians
put
men
that
mourned
into
womens
apparell
,
either
to
make
them
ashamed
of
themselues
,
or
to
cause
them
to
giue
ouer
quickly
such
vncomely
and
effeminate
behauior
.
But
what
need
was
there
of
such
clothes
for
that
?
for
it
seemes
to
me
their
countenances
and
their
actions
might
haue
been
a
sufficient
token
to
shew
they
were
no
more
men
.
It
was
in
my
opinion
a
publike
disgrace
,
the
Lawes
inflicted
vpon
them
for
their
pusillanimitie
,
a
summons
to
remember
themselues
,
and
put
on
againe
their
manly
courage
.
The
Roman
Lawes
,
that
were
more
generous
,
haue
not
sought
remedies
by
disgrace
against
these
effeminate
lamentations
:
for
they
haue
vtterly
prohibited
them
,
by
their
first
and
purest
ordinances
.
They
deemed
not
the
death
of
either
father
,
mother
,
children
,
kinsmen
,
or
friends
,
a
sufficient
cause
that
we
should
vnnaturalize
our selues
,
and
commit
any
thing
against
manlinesse
.
They
haue
tolerated
the
first
teares
,
that
are
wrested
by
a
new
and
fresh
sorrow
:
Those
teares
,
I
say
,
that
may
fall
euen
from
the
eyes
of
Phylosophers
;
and
which
with
humanitie
maintaine
dignitie
;
which
may
fall
from
our
eyes
,
without
Vertue
falling
from
our
hearts
.
Such
were
those
,
as
I
thinke
,
trickled
along
the
cheekes
of
faire
Panthea
,
when
as
Araspes
fell
in
loue
with
her
,
because
he
had
seene
her
to
his
great
liking
weepe
very
tenderly
and
pittifully
for
her
husbands
death
.
For
the
first
violent
brunt
of
sorrow
,
raiseth
in
vs
such
liuely
passions
,
that
they
slip
easily
into
the
minde
of
those
that
look
vpon
vs
,
and
fill
them
with
a
like
ardour
.
But
this
inueterate
sorrow
,
that
hath
pierced
vnto
the
very
Marrow
of
our
Bones
,
withereth
our
face
,
&
disturbeth
our
Soule
,
so
that
there
remaineth
nothing
in
vs
,
that
is
louely
and
gracefull
.
And
if
Nature
hath
disposed
of
any
thing
comely
in
either
our
Body
or
in
our
Soule
,
it
is
faded
by
this
bitter
passion
,
as
the
beautie
of
a
Pearle
is
dissolued
in
Vineger
.
It
is
great
pitty
then
to
see
vs
,
we
walke
with
our
head
hanging
downe
,
and
our
eyes
fixed
on
the
ground
,
our
mouth
without
euer
a
word
,
our
limmes
without
motion
,
and
our
eyes
are
in
no
stead
but
to
weepe
:
you
would
deeme
vs
to
be
but
sweating
statues
;
it
is
not
without
cause
the
Poets
haue
recorded
,
Niobe
was
turned
into
an
image
of
stone
with
ouer-much
weeping
.
Their
intention
was
not
onely
thereby
,
as
an
Ancient
hath
thought
,
to
represent
to
vs
the
silence
shee
kept
in
her
mourning
;
but
also
teach
vs
,
she
had
lost
all
manner
of
feeling
,
by
giuing
her selfe
ouer
to
sorrow
.
We
ought
then
to
auoyde
it
,
were
it
but
for
that
it
is
so
vnbeseeming
and
dishonourable
.
Furthermore
,
it
is
strangely
hurtfull
,
and
so
much
the
more
infects
vs
vnder
colour
of
doing
good
;
she
maketh
,
as
if
she
did
hasten
to
helpe
vs
,
and
contrariwise
she
doth
offend
vs
;
she
seemeth
to
pull
the
Iron
from
the
wound
,
and
shee
driueth
it
into
the
very
heart
;
shee
doth
promise
vs
Physicke
,
and
she
giueth
vs
Poyson
;
her
Blowes
are
so
much
the
harder
to
put
by
,
and
her
Attempts
too
crosse
,
because
she
is
an
enemy
fed
and
brought
vp
with
vs
,
so
that
we
haue
bred
our selues
to
our
owne
mischiefe
.
It
was
she
,
in
my
opinion
,
the
Comicall
Greeke
spoke
of
,
when
as
he
cryed
out
against
men
:
O
poore
people
,
how
many
euils
doe
you
wittingly
endure
besides
those
needfull
Nature
sendeth
vnto
you
?
for
who
can
wee
complaine
of
,
but
of
our selues
,
when
after
the
feeling
of
euils
past
,
wee
retaine
still
their
griefe
,
and
opinionate
our selues
to
ruminate
and
continually
bring
them
into
our
memory
;
or
that
for
feare
of
time
to
come
,
we
faint
for
want
of
spirit
and
courage
?
Doth
not
this
euill
befall
to
vs
from
our selues
?
whereof
we
ought
not
to
wonder
,
that
it
is
so
lasting
,
seeing
it
is
like
Riuers
which
come
from
the
Sea
,
and
returne
into
it
,
and
fetching
their
spring
from
the
same
place
they
runne
into
,
are
neuer
dryed
vp
.
Poore
fooles
!
why
do
we
so
carefully
water
this
plant
,
that
beareth
such
bitter
fruite
?
Can
we
finde
any
good
taste
in
these
moanes
,
griefes
,
sorrowes
,
sighes
,
wherewithall
she
pestereth
our
life
,
and
poysoneth
all
our
actions
?
for
as
long
as
shee
dwelleth
with
vs
,
what
doe
we
doe
worthy
the
name
of
men
?
when
doe
wee
thinke
of
doing
seruice
to
our
countrey
,
or
performing
the
dutie
of
good
Subiects
,
to
oppose
our selues
against
the
factions
of
the
wicked
,
to
defend
the
Lawes
from
the
assaults
of
Ambition
and
Couetousnesse
,
to
protect
our
friendes
from
the
oppression
of
the
malicious
?
what
respite
haue
we
from
this
importunate
passion
,
to
lift
vp
our
eyes
to
heauen
,
and
with
a
pure
spirit
giue
thankes
vnto
that
great
and
soueraigne
God
,
that
hath
placed
vs
here
in
this
world
,
and
bestowed
vpon
vs
so
many
blessings
and
fauours
,
that
if
wee
had
nothing
else
to
doe
but
to
giue
him
prayse
,
yet
wee
should
not
haue
halfe
time
enough
to
giue
him
his
due
?
Truely
shee
cannot
bee
excused
:
she
is
either
very
vndiscreet
,
or
very
malicious
;
either
her
end
is
bad
,
or
else
she
erreth
and
strayeth
from
her
end
.
If
it
be
her
drift
to
encrease
our
euils
,
and
that
the
more
she
seizeth
on
vs
,
the
heauier
&
more
distastful
she
makes
our
life
:
why
do
not
we
put
her
backe
at
her
first
entrance
?
why
doe
not
wee
shut
her
out
of
doores
?
or
at
least
,
why
doe
not
we
driue
her
away
by
the
head
and
shoulders
,
as
soone
as
we
know
her
designe
?
wee
are
traytors
to
our
owne
rest
,
if
being
acquainted
with
its
enemies
,
if
hauing
notice
of
those
do
disturbe
it
,
we
receiue
them
,
and
vphold
them
,
and
cherish
them
.
If
it
be
her
end
to
ease
our
sorrow
,
to
qualifie
and
soake
it
in
our
teares
,
Why
should
we
imploy
so
long
,
so
bad
and
rash
an
Officer
that
doth
what
is
cleane
contrarie
to
her
intent
?
Who
did
euer
see
her
attaine
vnto
it
?
What
Mind
did
she
euer
enter
,
that
she
hath
comforted
?
But
contrariwise
,
if
she
found
it
quaking
,
hath
she
not
quite
ouerthrowne
it
?
If
vpon
falling
,
ouerwhelmed
it
?
There
commeth
not
one
out
of
her
Clawes
,
but
spoyled
,
maymed
,
and
bruized
.
When
she
hath
gone
ouer
it
,
she
leaueth
behinde
neither
strength
,
nor
resistance
,
and
becommeth
like
vnto
a
deepe
and
hollow
place
,
which
is
not
onely
defyled
with
the
filth
that
groweth
in
it
,
but
on
all
sides
,
Sinckes
and
Gutters
run
into
it
,
so
that
pure
Water
is
corrupted
therein
.
For
a
man
possessed
with
Sorrow
,
is
offended
with
his
owne
Euils
and
other
mens
both
,
with
publique
and
priuate
:
euen
good
fortunes
befalling
him
,
doe
displease
him
.
All
things
waxe
tart
in
his
Mind
,
as
meat
doth
in
a
deboshed
Stomake
.
But
besides
all
this
,
I
say
that
Sorrow
comming
vpon
such
an
occasion
,
as
it
doth
to
you
,
is
verie
vniust
,
and
I
dare
almost
call
it
impious
.
For
what
is
it
,
but
a
rash
and
outragious
complaint
against
Nature
and
the
Common
Law
of
the
World
?
The
first
voyce
which
is
pronounced
by
Nature
,
is
that
all
things
which
are
vnder
the
Circle
of
the
Moone
must
perish
,
and
as
they
haue
had
a
beginning
,
so
shall
they
haue
an
end
.
You
would
free
your
Citie
from
it
as
by
a
Priuiledge
,
and
make
it
Immortall
.
Kingdomes
,
States
,
and
Townes
are
of
the
same
condition
the
other
parts
of
the
World
are
of
,
nay
,
their
being
is
more
vncertaine
and
weaker
.
For
most
other
things
haue
their
forme
,
which
vniteth
their
members
so
straite
and
so
strong
with
one
only
knot
,
that
they
can
hardly
be
seuered
:
but
States
and
Cities
are
composed
of
so
many
different
things
one
from
another
,
which
are
knit
and
gathered
together
onely
by
the
will
and
consent
of
men
,
mooued
to
a
communion
and
society
,
by
some
Celestiall
inclination
.
And
that
will
and
consent
being
subiect
to
wauer
,
the
ruine
of
Townes
is
still
at
hand
,
and
almost
present
:
for
from
the
stirring
and
motion
of
that
consent
,
springs
warres
,
and
seditions
,
which
bring
them
to
their
end
.
But
though
no
diseases
doe
befall
them
,
that
is
to
say
,
violent
mischances
,
wherewithall
most
commonly
they
perish
;
yet
age
must
make
an
end
of
them
by
the
Common
Law
of
the
World
,
for
they
haue
their
Youth
,
their
virility
,
their
Olde
age
,
like
men
;
and
though
all
the
rest
of
their
age
hath
been
strong
and
sound
,
yet
Age
must
consume
them
.
Now
if
we
haue
fore-seene
this
,
why
are
we
vexed
at
it
?
If
we
haue
not
fore-seene
it
,
what
doe
we
complaine
of
,
but
of
our
imprudencie
?
The
condition
of
Nature
is
very
hard
and
wretched
,
if
she
must
beare
the
blame
&
wrong
of
all
such
things
as
are
vnkowne
to
vs
,
when
they
come
to
passe
.
Is
it
her
fault
we
know
them
not
?
Hath
she
concealed
it
from
vs
?
Is
there
euer
a
nooke
in
the
World
where
she
hath
not
set
it
in
writing
?
It
is
wonderfull
that
we
are
more
iust
and
righteous
to
euery
one
then
to
Nature
,
which
neuerthelesse
is
more
gratious
and
fauourable
to
vs
then
all
the
rest
.
If
we
had
hyred
a
House
,
and
the
Owner
were
in
mind
to
pull
it
down
because
it
were
olde
,
and
must
build
it
vp
againe
,
or
that
he
would
apply
it
to
his
owne
vse
:
we
would
go
forth
willingly
,
and
seeke
for
another
without
any
more
adoe
.
Why
?
it
is
the
Common
Law
that
suffereth
him
to
make
vse
of
his
owne
in
this
fashion
.
Would
you
know
who
be
those
which
doe
grieue
when
they
must
remooue
,
that
complaine
,
and
vexe
themselues
?
They
be
the
Children
of
such
as
haue
Leases
for
many
yeeres
,
because
they
haue
seene
their
Fathers
enioy
them
still
,
they
neuer
troubled
themselues
to
looke
into
the
Titles
of
their
House
,
they
made
account
the
Fee
simple
was
theirs
,
and
sed
themselues
with
that
opinion
.
They
passed
their
youth
and
neuer
learned
any
Trade
,
neuer
vsed
to
worke
,
when
as
they
are
growen
in
yeeres
,
the
Lease
is
expired
,
they
must
prouide
themselues
else-where
.
This
vnexpected
blow
astonisheth
them
,
they
weepe
,
they
lament
,
&
in
stead
of
giuing
the
Owner
thankes
for
suffering
them
to
enioy
it
so
long
at
so
good
a
rate
,
they
rayle
on
him
.
But
we
are
yet
farre
vnwiser
,
and
more
vniust
towards
Nature
,
then
they
are
towards
their
Land-Lords
:
For
they
perchance
haue
a
chargeable
Lease
on
it
,
they
haue
perhaps
payed
a
great
In-come
:
we
are
here
but
Tenants
at
Will
,
what
we
haue
,
we
hold
it
by
intreatie
,
and
onely
for
a
while
.
They
haue
forborne
to
giue
them
warning
vntill
such
a
time
the
Lease
was
expired
:
but
Nature
doth
declare
to
vs
euery
day
the
Conditions
we
liue
here
vpon
.
I
pray
you
tell
me
,
when
we
come
into
the
World
,
doe
we
enter
it
,
or
are
we
brought
into
it
?
Doe
wee
come
into
it
to
command
,
or
to
serue
,
to
giue
the
Law
,
or
to
receiue
it
?
I
thinke
,
you
will
answer
me
in
a
word
,
that
we
come
into
it
,
to
obey
,
and
follow
what
we
finde
alreadie
established
.
We
must
accommodate
our selues
to
Seasons
,
Dayes
,
and
Nights
,
to
the
temperature
of
countreys
;
briefly
vnto
all
that
happeneth
in
the
gouernment
of
the
world
.
Now
this
Law
is
milde
,
kinde
,
gracious
,
all
that
is
in
it
,
if
we
consider
it
wel
,
is
meant
for
our
good
and
fauour
.
And
neuerthelesse
if
there
were
any
hard
thing
in
it
,
the
onely
way
to
mitigate
necessary
seruitude
were
to
obey
voluntary
.
Ought
not
wee
to
thinke
,
that
when
we
come
into
the
world
,
we
do
bargaine
with
Nature
,
and
binde
our selues
to
obserue
the
lawes
she
hath
giuen
and
published
so
many
ages
since
in
Citties
,
Common-wealths
,
&
Kingdomes
?
As
she
is
wise
,
prouident
,
and
desirous
to
preserue
the
beautie
of
her
worke
,
she
hath
giuen
to
euery
thing
as
long
a
continuance
as
she
can
;
but
the
vice
,
and
imperfection
of
the
matter
,
whereof
things
are
created
,
hath
beene
the
cause
,
that
of
earthly
things
,
there
can
be
none
immortall
:
and
euen
of
those
that
are
mortall
,
many
last
not
so
long
as
their
nature
requireth
,
the
vice
of
the
matter
preuenting
the
grace
of
Nature
.
The
remedy
she
hath
prouided
for
this
inconuenience
,
is
a
lasting
by
succession
shee
hath
giuen
vnto
things
,
so
that
loosing
one
forme
,
they
receiue
another
,
nothing
at
all
being
lost
but
onely
altered
:
shee
keepeth
the
earth
in
her
hands
like
soft
Clay
,
which
shee
kneadeth
and
mouldeth
ouer
againe
in
sundry
fashions
giuing
it
a
new
face
,
couering
the
old
figure
with
a
fresh
one
,
and
by
those
meanes
doth
imitate
in
this
world
immortalitie
,
which
she
could
not
altogether
affoord
it
.
From
thence
it
is
,
that
Townes
,
Kingdomes
,
and
Empires
,
change
in
this
manner
,
&
grow
out
of
one
anothers
ruines
.
The
Play
is
altered
still
,
and
nothing
remaineth
sure
and
firme
but
the
Stage
.
What
is
there
more
iust
,
seeing
that
she
is
a
common
Mother
to
all
men
,
then
for
her
to
desire
to
grace
all
parts
of
the
Earth
with
a
turne
of
greatnesse
&
magnificence
,
which
she
hath
caused
to
passe
from
place
to
place
?
This
turne
at
last
is
come
to
vs
,
and
we
haue
seene
in
our
dayes
,
our
Countrey
so
plentifully
stored
with
Riches
,
Glory
,
Wealth
,
Pleasure
,
that
we
could
wish
for
no
more
.
We
are
now
vpon
our
returne
,
our
good
Fortune
is
fled
from
vs
,
as
out
of
a
house
crackt
and
crazed
on
all
sides
;
we
haue
stayd
behinde
looking
for
its
fall
:
some
cry
out
,
some
gaze
vpon
it
,
some
runne
away
.
What
is
there
so
much
to
wonder
at
?
An
old
man
dyeth
,
an
old
house
falleth
,
what
should
you
cry
out
for
?
What
is
there
in
it
,
but
what
you
see
euery
day
,
and
euery
where
?
Fruit
doth
blossome
,
knot
,
increase
,
ripen
,
rot:
Hearbes
spring
vp
,
spread
forth
,
wither
away
:
Trees
grow
,
stand
a
while
,
and
afterwards
are
dryed
vp
:
All
liuing
Creatures
are
brought
forth
,
liue
,
and
at
last
dye
.
Time
it-selfe
,
that
wrappeth
all
the
World
,
is
in
the
end
wrapped
in
its
owne
ruine
:
As
it
slippeth
away
,
so
it
is
consumed
;
it
rowleth
softly
seasons
one
vpon
another
,
and
all
those
that
are
past
,
are
lost
.
Of
all
those
changeable
things
,
what
would
you
make
constant
?
Of
all
those
mortall
things
,
what
would
you
make
immortall
?
Will
you
make
me
wonder
?
Let
me
see
something
permanent
in
this
World
.
But
I
doe
you
wrong
to
entertaine
you
with
such
grosse
reasons
,
you
,
I
say
,
whose
laborious
studie
is
as
the
mirrour
of
Nature
,
and
which
may
represent
to
your selues
in
an
instant
,
and
draw
from
the
treasure
of
your
memory
the
face
of
the
world
,
as
it
hath
bin
euer
since
its
creation
.
Run
,
I
pray
you
,
ouer
it
again
,
and
consider
what
is
become
of
those
great
and
admirable
Citties
,
builded
vp
with
so
many
yeares
labour
,
beautified
with
so
many
toyles
,
enriched
with
so
many
troubles
.
Each
of
them
hath
had
many
ages
that
haue
not
beene
otherwise
imployed
,
but
to
dispoile
the
rest
of
the
world
,
to
furnish
and
bedecke
them
.
Asia
sheweth
you
Troy
the
great
,
prowd
Babylon
,
stately
Ierusalem
;
Africke
setteth
forth
Thebes
with
a
hundred
gates
,
mighty
Carthage
,
wealthy
Alexandria
;
Europe
representeth
vnto
you
learned
Athens
,
triumphing
Constantinople
,
and
Rome
,
the
miracle
of
all
Citties
,
and
of
all
the
world
.
What
reason
do
you
thinke
it
were
all
these
faire
Citties
haue
so
flourished
,
but
onely
to
be
ouerthrowne
?
And
why
haue
they
been
ouerthrowne
so
often
,
sauing
that
the
Destinie
seemed
to
stand
out
against
Nature
,
and
vphold
the
frailtie
of
humane
things
?
How
many
times
hath
euery
one
of
them
seene
their
enemies
ouerthrow
their
walles
,
sack
their
houses
,
kill
their
cittizens
,
and
burne
their
Churches
?
Their
necessitie
to
perish
hath
been
so
great
,
that
when
they
haue
wanted
forreine
enemies
to
worke
their
ouerthrow
,
they
haue
armed
their
owne
Inhabitants
,
to
execute
what
was
ordained
about
their
end
.
There
is
no
remedy
,
that
is
the
Law
,
you
cannot
goe
against
it
:
when
wee
see
,
or
heare
of
others
ruines
,
that
is
a
fore-iudgement
for
vs
,
when
our
time
is
come
:
what
happeneth
to
one
,
may
happen
to
all
;
the
blow
that
hitteth
the
formost
,
threatneth
him
that
followeth
.
Scipio
he
that
ouerthrew
Carthage
,
seeing
fire
in
it
,
which
deuoured
such
infinite
richesse
and
stately
buildings
,
&
consumed
the
mightiest
City
of
Africa
;
moued
with
compassion
for
the
frailty
of
humane
affaires
,
fell
a
weeping
for
the
mischiefe
he
did
,
and
vttered
two
verses
of
Homer
to
this
sense
.
A
fatall
day
will
come
wherein
Troy
so
doughty
,
With
Priam
and
his
subiects
shall
all
be
made
a
booty
.
Meaning
of
Rome
what
the
Poet
had
spoke
of
Troy
,
but
he
was
farre
deceiued
in
his
Prophesie
,
for
how
many
dayes
,
and
not
one
alone
hath
she
been
made
a
bootie
?
how
many
times
sacked
?
how
many
times
destroyed
?
how
many
times
burnt
?
and
yet
shee
hath
raised
her selfe
out
of
her
ashes
;
and
being
obstinately
bent
to
withstand
her
own
mischiese
,
seemeth
to
haue
tired
her
ill
fortune
,
that
she
would
not
worke
her
ruine
any
more
.
Notwithstanding
the
common
Law
teacheth
vs
,
shee
must
suffer
as
others
haue
done
,
and
though
shee
did
escape
some
ages
,
yet
shall
she
not
escape
the
end
of
all
,
and
the
firing
of
the
world
.
Plato
had
much
troubled
his
braines
to
lay
the
foundation
of
his
Common-wealth
so
fast
,
that
she
might
be
permanent
and
euerlasting
:
and
notwithstanding
after
you
haue
granted
him
all
his
dreames
for
true
,
and
you
aske
him
,
whether
this
faire
Common-wealth
can
bee
made
immortall
with
all
his
precepts
?
hee
hath
freely
acknowledged
it
could
not
:
he
,
I
say
,
which
maintained
the
world
to
bee
immortall
.
But
being
desirous
to
grace
his
workes
,
and
flatter
his
owne
conceits
,
he
bringeth
in
the
Muses
,
discoursing
of
the
continuance
of
states
,
and
proposeth
certaine
proportions
of
numbers
,
by
the
obseruation
whereof
,
they
might
bee
kept
vp
flourishing
a
long
time
,
and
yet
auoucheth
plainely
,
that
as
all
States
haue
their
birth
,
and
beginning
,
so
they
must
haue
their
end
.
It
is
the
common
Law
of
Nature
to
which
wee
must
bow
,
and
follow
willingly
,
least
it
should
dragge
vs
away
with
violence
:
obedience
vnto
it
is
sweete
,
violence
full
of
paine
and
shame
.
In
the
meane
time
I
vnderstand
well
enough
what
you
would
say
,
it
is
as
it
seemeth
wee
hasten
our selues
our
owne
destruction
,
and
with
our
hands
push
forward
the
end
of
this
poore
Kingdome
and
doe
not
stay
vntill
old
age
carrieth
it
away
,
that
it
may
sweetly
,
and
without
striuing
,
passe
from
life
to
death
.
You
deceiue
your selfe
,
those
creatures
neuer
die
otherwise
,
they
neuer
haue
an
easie
end
:
for
as
those
which
die
of
diseases
,
whose
causes
lay
in
the
sinewes
and
braines
,
are
troubled
with
great
conuulsions
afore
they
giue
vp
the
Ghost
;
the
like
haue
Common-wealthes
,
which
commonly
come
to
ruine
,
because
their
Lawes
,
that
are
as
their
sinewes
,
are
broken
and
violated
.
Now
if
it
bee
as
they
vsually
say
,
that
fore-seene
blowes
amaze
not
so
much
,
we
haue
,
as
it
seemeth
to
me
,
great
occasion
to
beare
more
patiently
,
&
with
more
resolution
the
fall
of
our
State
,
seeing
how
long
it
is
since
it
began
to
shake
,
and
the
great
tokens
,
and
apparent
markes
wee
haue
had
heretofore
of
its
ruine
.
First
,
it
is
very
old
,
and
so
old
,
that
there
was
neuer
any
one
seene
to
last
so
long
.
To
waxe
old
is
to
be
accustomed
to
die
.
They
vse
to
aske
commonly
of
such
as
are
exceeding
old
,
whether
they
be
yet
aliue
?
we
ought
rather
to
wonder
at
their
life
,
then
at
their
death
;
when
they
are
dead
,
they
say
,
He
is
gone
at
last
,
as
if
they
would
say
,
He
hath
held
out
longer
than
one
would
haue
thought
.
Besides
his
age
he
hath
had
two
hundred
yeares
since
,
great
and
irkesome
diseases
.
The
quarrels
of
Orleans
and
Burgundy
haue
brought
him
to
the
brimme
of
his
graue
.
Being
recouered
of
this
great
fall
,
and
growne
healthy
again
,
he
hath
liued
very
loosely
vnder
Francis
and
Henrie
the
second
:
in
this
disordered
and
lewd
life
,
he
hath
gathered
many
ill
humours
,
and
farre
worse
conditions
.
Vnder
the
youth
of
our
last
Kings
,
he
is
returned
to
his
infancie
,
and
hath
wholly
altered
his
complexion
;
for
since
the
fashions
of
strangers
began
to
please
vs
,
ours
haue
beene
so
depraued
and
corrupted
,
that
we
may
say
long
agoe
we
are
no
more
French-men
.
There
is
no
part
of
this
State
that
hath
not
beene
onely
spoyled
,
but
euen
made
infamous
with
excesse
and
superfluitie
:
for
as
touching
our
Nobilitie
,
which
is
the
chiefest
pillar
of
our
Kingdome
,
and
that
hath
raised
it
vnto
the
greatnesse
we
haue
seene
it
,
and
euer
maintained
the
same
,
and
vnto
which
is
truly
due
the
glory
the
French
name
hath
among
forreine
Nations
;
they
haue
omitted
no
craft
and
guile
to
spoyle
and
driue
it
out
of
heart
,
and
drowne
in
luxury
,
sensuality
,
and
couetousnesse
that
ancient
generofitie
they
had
hereditary
from
their
fathers
,
&
cause
them
to
lose
the
loue
they
owed
to
the
safetie
of
their
state
.
As
for
the
church
,
which
ought
to
haue
bin
the
mother
of
piety
,
the
pattern
of
good
manners
,
the
bond
of
alother
orders
;
they
haue
dishonoured
&
defamed
her
as
much
as
they
can
,
making
the
greatest
charges
,
&
prelacies
to
be
the
reward
of
the
vilest
,
yea
fowlest
seruices
of
the
Court.
So
that
impietie
and
ignorance
haue
in
many
places
sate
them
down
vpon
the
throne
of
holines
&
truth
,
&
made
the
order
odious
by
the
lewdnes
of
such
as
were
preferred
thereto
.
The
officers
of
Iustice
,
who
alone
might
in
some
sort
haue
kept
the
rest
in
their
dutie
,
if
they
had
bin
honest
&
true
,
as
they
ought
to
haue
bin
,
haue
suffered
a
maruellous
change
;
their
principall
authority
hath
bin
withdrawne
towards
the
soueraign
,
not
to
be
administred
,
but
peruerted
by
courtiers
,
at
their
pleasure
that
were
in
fauour
.
And
to
crowne
so
many
disorders
,
and
heape
vp
mischiefe
on
vs
ouer
and
ouer
,
are
falne
out
the
quarrels
about
Religion
,
vpon
which
occasion
haue
been
raysed
parties
and
factions
by
whomsoeuer
it
hath
pleased
,
which
were
easily
entertained
by
the
facilitie
and
lightnesse
of
our
people
,
and
by
the
deuices
of
our
neighbours
,
which
sought
to
shelter
themselues
vnder
our
ruines
.
With
these
sparks
hath
bin
kindled
the
fire
that
hath
almost
consumed
vs
;
euery
one
hath
run
to
it
,
not
to
quench
it
,
but
to
carry
away
his
share
,
as
out
of
a
generall
firing
.
Must
we
wonder
if
an
old
state
dieth
of
such
a
disease
?
we
ought
rather
to
admire
if
it
should
recouer
it
.
Adde
vnto
this
old
Prophesies
which
long
agoe
were
made
touching
its
destruction
,
which
to
our
great
griefe
haue
proued
so
true
,
that
they
haue
got
glory
vnto
the
Art
,
and
credit
vnto
such
people
as
haue
euer
beene
held
for
Cheaters
:
Which
teacheth
vs
,
that
reuolutions
of
great
States
come
from
aboue
and
are
delared
euen
afore
they
come
to
passe
.
I
say
then
,
when
as
that
which
you
feare
should
happen
,
it
were
but
an
ordinary
thing
,
naturall
,
&
foreseene
;
&
therefore
we
ought
to
beare
it
patiently
,
as
we
doe
the
vicissitude
of
seasons
,
the
alteration
of
elements
,
and
other
changes
wee
dayly
see
in
all
parts
of
the
world
.
And
notwithstanding
,
I
doe
not
say
it
is
a
thing
must
come
to
passe
vpon
necessitie
,
&
despaire
not
yet
of
the
well-fare
of
my
poore
France
,
nor
of
my
poore
Paris
;
yea
I
perswade
my self
,
that
if
her
end
and
ruine
cannot
be
auoyded
,
God
will
put
it
off
till
some
other
season
:
for
although
the
signes
of
this
disease
,
not
onely
contagious
,
but
also
pestilent
and
infectious
,
that
hath
seized
on
this
State
,
are
deadly
for
the
most
part
;
neuerthelesse
it
seemeth
Nature
now
beginneth
to
helpe
her selfe
,
and
the
noble
parts
shew
yet
some
strength
and
liuelinesse
to
endure
the
remedies
.
The
people
which
suffered
themselues
to
bee
carryed
away
with
this
ruinous
commotion
,
and
by
the
windes
of
Feare
and
Hope
;
Feare
to
lose
their
Religion
,
and
Hope
of
some
ease
and
reliefe
:
see
plainely
they
haue
by
their
mad
counsels
drawne
on
the
mischiefes
they
shunned
,
and
put
backe
the
good
they
expected
.
Let
vs
suffer
the
humours
to
ripen
,
and
you
shall
see
Nature
will
worke
of
her selfe
,
and
bring
forth
wholesome
effects
;
moreouer
the
leaders
of
the
people
,
begin
to
lose
the
hope
that
moued
them
to
this
proiect
:
that
beame
of
popular
fauour
,
which
had
rowzed
their
spirits
,
is
past
like
a
lightning
,
and
Fortune
hath
shewed
she
did
not
fauour
them
so
much
for
their
good
,
as
for
our
mischiefe
.
They
see
more
,
and
see
it
euidently
,
that
strangers
,
with
whom
they
made
account
to
vnder-proppe
their
greatnes
,
wish
for
nothing
so
earnestly
,
as
for
their
ruine
,
and
borrow
their
armes
,
onely
to
make
vse
of
them
,
to
doe
their
worke
,
hauing
resolued
not
to
doe
them
any
other
fauour
,
but
what
the
Cyclope
of
Homer
promised
to
Vlysses
,
which
was
to
eate
him
vp
last
of
all
.
Doe
you
thinke
them
so
vnwise
to
their
owne
good
,
and
so
vnnaturall
to
their
owne
countrey
,
so
ingratefull
to
the
people
,
who
haue
loued
them
so
well
,
that
seeing
things
in
this
case
,
they
chuse
not
rather
to
make
France
beholden
to
them
,
restoring
peace
,
and
rest
vnto
her
,
and
keeping
still
those
great
and
honorable
titles
,
which
they
may
haue
;
then
to
make
their
name
and
memory
odious
for
euer
,
casting
themselues
vnder
the
shamefull
bondage
of
an
ambitious
Spaniard
,
and
tumble
downe
headlong
with
them
such
as
haue
put
their
life
and
safetie
in
trust
vpon
their
fidelitie
?
No
,
I
will
neuer
beleeue
they
intend
to
staine
their
reputation
with
so
base
an
action
,
and
therefore
I
hope
they
will
bend
themselues
vnto
the
wishes
of
the
people
,
that
inuite
them
to
quietnesse
:
if
they
doe
it
,
what
should
not
wee
hope
for
?
and
when
they
doe
it
,
what
should
wee
despaire
of
?
seeing
that
God
hath
brought
foorth
in
our
dayes
,
and
iust
vpon
the
nicke
of
this
fatall
commotion
,
a
Prince
to
succeed
this
crowne
,
onely
in
the
world
able
to
raise
vp
,
either
by
peace
or
warre
,
the
burthen
of
this
decaying
State
.
For
peace
he
hath
the
name
of
that
Great
and
Royall
familie
of
Saint
Lewes
,
which
calleth
backe
to
his
obedience
all
the
Subiects
of
this
Kingdome
,
which
cannot
hope
to
bee
gouerned
by
a
happier
auspice
,
then
of
the
Race
of
that
great
King
,
that
hath
raised
vp
to
heauen
our
French
Scepter
,
and
hath
lifted
himselfe
on
high
by
his
pietie
,
to
bee
as
the
Guardian
and
Tutelarie
Saint
of
this
State
.
Hee
hath
a
naturall
goodnesse
and
clemency
,
that
reacheth
euen
to
extremitie
,
and
would
make
him
to
be
suspected
of
negligence
,
if
his
valour
and
generositie
,
which
appeareth
in
all
the
parts
of
his
life
,
did
not
blot
out
this
suspition
.
For
though
his
Fortune
,
more
crossed
then
any
Princes
of
his
time
,
hath
brought
him
foorth
amidst
ciuill
armes
,
and
amongst
iniuries
,
you
cannot
marke
one
onely
example
of
Reuenge
;
being
so
farre
from
doing
it
,
that
hee
hath
not
so
much
as
sought
for
it
,
thinking
himselfe
to
be
sufficiently
reuenged
,
in
despising
his
enemies
,
and
taking
away
from
them
the
meanes
to
doe
harme
:
so
that
he
hath
made
it
doubtfull
,
whether
it
bee
more
happy
for
him
to
ouercome
his
enemies
,
or
for
them
to
be
vanquished
by
him
.
Now
,
if
with
all
this
,
God
that
keepeth
the
hearts
of
Kings
in
his
hand
,
doe
dispose
his
,
to
that
which
is
yet
necessarie
for
the
perfect
vnion
of
his
Subiects
,
and
to
that
end
conuerteth
him
to
the
Catholicke
Faith
,
and
Religion
of
the
Kings
his
predecessours
;
who
can
hinder
our
happinesse
and
repose
?
Now
wee
haue
great
reason
to
hope
well
of
it
,
as
they
report
of
the
nature
of
this
Prince
,
who
is
very
capable
of
reason
,
and
easie
to
bee
perswaded
vnto
that
,
which
they
make
appeare
to
him
to
bee
fit
to
bee
done
.
Wee
know
what
hee
hath
promised
about
it
to
all
his
Nobilitie
,
hee
hath
bin
euer
commended
to
bee
a
faithfull
Prince
,
and
who
neuer
breakes
his
word
;
I
assure
my selfe
,
in
the
end
wee
shall
haue
what
wee
ought
to
desire
at
his
hands
in
this
respect
,
and
by
those
meanes
shall
beate
downe
the
armes
of
such
,
who
protest
to
haue
taken
them
onely
for
this
occasion
.
If
notwithstanding
the
obstinacie
of
those
,
who
seeke
their
greatnesse
in
publike
ruines
,
doth
inforce
him
to
trie
out
by
the
edge
of
the
sword
,
what
the
edge
of
reason
ought
to
decide
;
who
could
succeede
to
this
State
more
sufficient
to
settle
the
Kingdome
anew
againe
,
and
couer
vnder
the
shaddow
of
his
buckler
this
poore
crowne
,
assaulted
on
all
sides
?
God
hath
giuen
him
a
heart
full
of
valour
,
and
inuincible
courage
in
aduersitie
;
and
least
his
courage
should
bee
slackened
with
ouer-much
rest
,
hee
hath
exercised
him
from
his
childe-hood
in
continuall
trauels
and
dangers
,
with
such
Fortune
,
that
so
many
hazardous
passages
haue
beene
to
him
in
stead
of
a
Schoole
of
Vertue
,
and
a
Haruest
of
Glory
,
and
seemeth
certainely
,
seeing
the
progresse
of
his
Fortune
,
that
she
hath
on
purpose
raised
this
warre
,
and
called
to
it
so
many
seuerall
nations
,
to
behold
the
spectacle
of
an
extreame
valour
,
and
an
extreme
good
fortune
.
No
,
no
,
beleeue
it
,
you
neuer
obserued
in
the
succession
of
times
and
course
of
ages
,
that
States
are
ouerthrowne
,
when
God
sendeth
such
Princes
to
command
them
.
They
haue
perhaps
beene
shrewdly
shaken
and
tossed
,
but
afterwards
,
they
haue
setled
themselues
againe
by
the
vertue
of
such
Commanders
;
so
that
I
presume
,
that
the
motion
and
change
we
feele
,
is
not
for
the
extirpation
of
the
State
,
but
onely
an
incision
that
is
made
with
a
painefull
and
rough
instrument
;
and
in
lieu
of
the
branch
God
hath
cut
off
,
hee
will
put
on
a
graft
vpon
the
royall
stocke
.
And
therefore
I
hope
God
will
finde
,
when
we
looke
least
for
it
,
some
conuenient
meanes
to
saue
vs
all
,
and
specially
this
faire
and
famous
Cittie
,
wherein
there
is
a
number
of
men
,
which
call
vpon
him
with
a
pure
heart
.
Neuerthelesse
,
if
it
should
fall
out
otherwise
,
wee
must
take
it
patiently
:
for
such
great
accidents
happening
by
the
eternall
prouidence
,
it
is
no
more
lawful
then
possible
to
oppose
our selues
against
them
,
&
say
further
,
that
it
is
neither
iust
,
nor
profitable
to
be
vexed
for
them
;
being
most
certain
,
that
whatsoeuer
is
ordained
by
that
soueraigne
Hand
,
is
for
our
good
and
his
glory
.
But
since
it
is
supper
time
,
and
that
this
discourse
may
be
better
continued
by
those
that
hearken
to
me
,
then
by
my selfe
,
I
wil
leaue
it
to
them
,
seeing
our
miserie
is
common
,
that
they
may
affoord
something
to
our
common
comfort
.
There
Musaeus
ended
,
and
we
rose
with
a
more
setled
minde
then
wee
sate
downe
.
This
is
not
all
,
quoth
I
,
Musaeus
:
seeing
you
discharge
your selfe
from
prosecuting
the
discourse
you
haue
began
,
you
must
choose
some
one
that
will
finish
it
.
Wherupon
he
kissing
a
withered
posie
that
he
held
in
his
hand
,
presented
it
to
Orpheus
,
I
giue
it
you
,
quoth
he
,
against
to
morrow
:
I
accept
,
answered
Orpheus
,
the
posie
,
but
not
the
