when_o consul_n &_o censores_fw-la leave_v all_o for_o lust_n &_o love_n of_o flora._n whether_o be_v wit_n or_o wisdom_n here_o best_o scholar_n witte_n wan_a love_n and_o wealth_n and_o wisdom_n

stand_v upon_o this_o opinion_n lady_n of_o troth_n i_o believe_v you_o think_v yourself_o in_o your_o study_n or_o else_o you_o will_v not_o speak_v so_o obscure_a but_o what_o figure_n you_o take_v i_o know_v not_o but_o well_o i_o note_v all_o your_o word_n be_v per_fw-la allegoriam_fw-la but_o sir_n according_a to_o my_o lodgicke_n i_o will_v approve_v that_o as_o long_o as_o the_o learned_a be_v live_v they_o enjoy_v learning_n and_o the_o benefit_n thereof_o you_o can_v separate_v they_o a_o sunder_o for_o conquer_v one_o and_o take_v both_o even_o as_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v take_v my_o heart_n and_o take_v my_o life_n name_v two_o when_o one_o will_v suffice_v therefore_o sir_n i_o say_v that_o if_o loone_n subdue_v the_o learned_a she_o than_o be_v conqueror_n of_o both_o unless_o you_o will_v make_v a_o distinction_n touch_v the_o person_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o property_n of_o the_o other_o and_o that_o you_o can_v for_o that_o they_o both_o be_v so_o fast_a link_v as_o nothing_o can_v sunder_v they_o therefore_o you_o err_v if_o to_o the_o contrary_n you_o construe_v the_o case_n scholar_n well_o than_o i_o perceive_v you_o will_v have_v it_o either_o to_o what_o perfection_n you_o please_v or_o else_o you_o will_v not_o give_v over_o and_o therefore_o as_o i_o remember_v suetonius_n cornelius_n suetonius_n show_v a_o notable_a example_n to_o the_o utter_a abollish_v of_o love_n which_o you_o term_v amorous_a or_o pleasant_a pastime_n and_o for_o because_o that_o you_o will_v not_o be_v persuade_v that_o love_n can_v any_o way_n be_v reject_v rightful_o i_o will_v now_o by_o example_n prove_v it_o to_o be_v so_o odious_a as_o you_o yourself_o shall_v confess_v it_o have_v vary_a from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o this_o be_v the_o example_n the_o tyrant_n nero_n who_o not_o only_o long_a time_n moster_v inordinate_o and_o beastly_a spoil_v a_o number_n of_o virgin_n and_o chaste_a lady_n nature_n but_o also_o find_v a_o beautiful_a boy_n more_o pleasant_a in_o his_o eye_n then_o any_o other_o virgin_n or_o woman_n cause_v his_o secret_n to_o be_v spoil_v think_v thereby_o to_o have_v he_o transform_v to_o his_o own_o pleasure_n by_o such_o a_o metamorphosis_n as_o of_o a_o man_n to_o have_v a_o woman_n not_o long_o after_o he_o marry_v he_o name_v he_o sporus_n endow_v he_o with_o such_o secret_a duty_n as_o to_o a_o wife_n be_v due_a by_o dowry_n here_o be_v lust_n more_o them_z law_n of_o nature_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v love_n but_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o allow_v this_o see_v that_o nature_n be_v here_o a_o foe_n unto_o herself_o in_o kindle_v so_o great_a a_o fire_n in_o nero_n as_o can_v not_o be_v quench_v without_o such_o a_o curse_a conjunction_n this_o lust_n of_o nero_n quite_o extinguish_v the_o glory_n of_o love_n and_o make_v the_o same_o so_o odious_a to_o the_o ear_n of_o such_o as_o read_v this_o tragedy_n that_o man_n rather_o seek_v by_o reason_n to_o bridle_v such_o fiery_a affection_n then_o to_o be_v find_v acquaint_v with_o such_o pestilent_a passion_n so_o that_o cornelius_n and_o suetonius_n do_v leave_v their_o learning_n to_o be_v a_o lamp_n or_o loadstone_n unto_o our_o life_n that_o though_o we_o seek_v to_o be_v rather_o thralle_v to_o love_n then_o by_o learning_n to_o have_v liberty_n yet_o their_o counsel_n be_v herein_o to_o be_v rule_v by_o learning_n and_o not_o to_o range_v beyond_o reason_n so_o that_o learning_n be_v here_o utter_a enemy_n to_o love_n furthermore_o sith_o i_o be_o so_o far_o enter_v i_o will_v yet_o make_v a_o
