governor_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n and_o wit_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o beauty_n for_o there_o be_v as_o much_o difference_n as_o betwixt_o soul_n and_o body_n for_o wit_n be_v as_o it_o be_v spiritual_a where_o beauty_n be_v corporal_a and_o beauty_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o variation_n of_o several_a opinion_n for_o beauty_n be_v not_o beauty_n in_o all_o nation_n but_o wit_n be_v wit_n in_o all_o language_n beauty_n weary_v the_o eye_n by_o repetition_n where_o wit_n refresh_v the_o ear_n with_o variety_n of_o discourse_n wit_n be_v the_o god_n of_o passion_n create_v and_o dispose_v they_o at_o his_o pleasure_n of_o riches_n and_o beauty_n riches_n si_fw-mi to_o be_v prefer_v before_o beauty_n though_o it_o be_v a_o gift_n of_o fortune_n and_o beauty_n a_o gift_n of_o nature_n for_o beauty_n incaptives_n where_o riches_n enslave_v all_o for_o be_v there_o a_o beauty_n that_o have_v as_o much_o as_o nature_n can_v give_v it_o join_v with_o a_o angelical_a mind_n yet_o it_o shall_v never_o triumph_v so_o long_o nor_o enthral_v so_o many_o nor_o so_o constant_o be_v serve_v as_o riches_n be_v for_o riches_n have_v no_o unfaithful_a lover_n although_o she_o may_v have_v ignorant_a servant_n who_o she_o turn_v most_o common_o weep_v out_o of_o door_n for_o she_o be_v a_o humoursome_a mistress_n and_o change_v often_o but_o seldom_o make_v a_o good_a choice_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o riches_n be_v prefer_v esteem_v honour_a and_o unwearied_o follow_v be_v because_o she_o afford_v more_o variety_n which_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n delight_n and_o seek_v after_o where_o beauty_n be_v still_o one_o and_o the_o same_o but_o though_o riches_n be_v fleet_v yet_o many_o time_n the_o careful_a and_o prudent_a have_v possess_v they_o long_o where_o beauty_n no_o soon_o show_v herself_o but_o dye_n the_o beauty_n of_o mean_a person_n beauty_n in_o mean_a and_o poor_a person_n be_v only_o subject_a to_o temptation_n not_o to_o admiration_n as_o beauty_n in_o palace_n be_v famous_a in_o history_n but_o those_o beauty_n as_o come_v from_o a_o humble_a birth_n and_o breed_n in_o a_o small_a cottage_n be_v bury_v in_o their_o poverty_n which_o show_v it_o be_v not_o only_o the_o beauty_n which_o nature_n give_v but_o the_o art_n that_o adorn_v it_o which_o allure_v the_o mind_n for_o good_a fortune_n give_v beauty_n a_o lustre_n and_o make_v it_o appear_v divine_a so_o do_v rich_a apparel_n attendance_n and_o the_o like_a for_o it_o be_v the_o trappings_o and_o the_o ceremony_n which_o take_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o beholder_n whereas_o ill_a fortune_n and_o poverty_n do_v cast_v a_o shadow_n upon_o natural_a beauty_n and_o eclipse_v it_o from_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n thus_o beauty_n be_v admire_v and_o divulge_v according_a to_o the_o wealth_n and_o dignity_n unless_o some_o strange_a and_o unusual_a accident_n happen_v to_o the_o beautiful_a to_o noise_n it_o abroad_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v not_o hear_v of_o poor_a and_o mean_a person_n mention_v in_o many_o age_n but_o those_o which_o the_o fancy_n of_o poet_n make_v but_o of_o beauty_n that_o be_v great_a and_o rich_a their_o chronology_n be_v full_a of_o imaginary_a beauty_n some_o may_v imagine_v or_o think_v beauty_n be_v frame_v and_o compose_v in_o the_o opinion_n of_o man_n rather_o than_o in_o the_o lineament_n and_o symmetry_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o body_n or_o the_o colour_n of_o the_o skin_n for_o that_o which_o appear_v beautiful_a to_o one_o nation_n do_v not_o so_o to_o another_o as_o witness_v the_o indian_n the_o ethiopian_n who_o think_v the_o black_a skin_n stat_a nose_n and_o thick_a lip_n the_o most_o beautiful_a which_o seem_v deform_v and_o monstrous_a to_o the_o european_n so_o particular_a person_n as_o in_o several_a nation_n for_o to_o one_o person_n shall_v appear_v a_o beauty_n to_o enamour_v the_o soul_n with_o admiration_n to_o another_o shall_v appear_v even_o to_o a_o dislike_n which_o show_v that_o be_v there_o a_o body_n never_o so_o exact_o proportion_v or_o their_o motion_n never_o so_o graceful_a or_o their_o colour_n never_o so_o orient_a yet_o it_o will_v not_o please_v all_o i_o will_v not_o say_v there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o beauty_n but_o no_o such_o beauty_n as_o appear_v so_o to_o all_o eye_n because_o there_o be_v not_o variety_n enough_o in_o one_o beauty_n to_o please_v the_o various_a fancy_n of_o mankind_n for_o some_o fancy_n black_a some_o brown_a some_o fair_a some_o a_o sad_a countenance_n some_o a_o merry_a some_o more_o bashful_a some_o more_o

make_v mixture_n of_o all_o these_o it_o be_v impossible_a and_o though_o there_o may_v be_v as_o great_a and_o as_o good_a a_o harmony_n in_o beauty_n as_o in_o music_n yet_o all_o tune_n please_v not_o all_o ear_n no_o more_o do_v all_o beauty_n please_v all_o eye_n of_o natural_a beauty_n beauty_n be_v a_o certain_a splendour_n which_o flow_v in_o a_o line_n or_o air_n of_o light_n from_o the_o spirit_n and_o give_v a_o shine_a glory_n upon_o the_o face_n which_o light_n with_o ill_a complexion_n or_o not_o lovely_a feature_n be_v darken_v as_o the_o sun_n with_o cloud_n wherein_o some_o face_n have_v thick_a cloud_n than_o other_o that_o make_v a_o beauty_n appear_v more_o splendorous_a at_o some_o time_n than_o other_o but_o in_o age_n beauty_n seldom_o or_o never_o appear_v be_v in_o the_o winter_n season_n of_o life_n but_o in_o youth_n the_o air_n be_v always_o serene_a and_o clear_n some_o see_v this_o splendour_n or_o beauty_n in_o a_o face_n which_o other_o do_v not_o as_o have_v a_o more_o discern_a spirit_n which_o make_v some_o wonder_n at_o such_o as_o do_v fall_v in_o love_n with_o those_o that_o they_o shall_v think_v ill-favoured_a beside_o there_o be_v a_o sympathy_n of_o spirit_n to_o perceive_v that_o in_o one_o and_o other_o as_o looker_n on_o can_v find_v out_o of_o pride_n if_o pride_n seem_v handsome_a and_o may_v be_v allow_v in_o any_o it_o be_v in_o woman_n because_o it_o give_v a_o distance_n to_o idle_a pretender_n and_o corrupter_n of_o chastity_n neither_o be_v it_o so_o bad_a in_o woman_n to_o be_v proud_a of_o their_o chastity_n and_o honest_a affection_n as_o alexander_n in_o his_o victory_n or_o helen_n in_o her_o beauty_n or_o rome_n of_o her_o spoil_n and_o royal_a slave_n for_o honesty_n be_v their_o great_a beauty_n and_o they_o may_v glory_v in_o it_o as_o their_o great_a honour_n and_o triumph_v in_o it_o as_o their_o great_a victory_n and_o though_o that_o woman_n be_v natural_o fearful_a yet_o rather_o than_o they_o will_v infringe_v the_o least_o part_n of_o a_o chastity_n either_o in_o word_n to_o enchant_v or_o look_v to_o allure_v or_o action_n to_o invite_v they_o will_v enforce_v life_n and_o triumph_n in_o death_n rather_o than_o their_o virtue_n shall_v be_v overcome_v either_o in_o the_o stratagem_n of_o folly_n or_o treacherous_a bribe_n or_o by_o force_n of_o wicked_a

most_o of_o what_o i_o write_v be_v because_o i_o observe_v that_o not_o only_o the_o weak_a write_n of_o man_n get_v applause_n in_o the_o world_n but_o the_o infinite_a weak_a translator_n of_o

how_o to_o pass_v it_o away_o but_o may_v as_o well_o read_v in_o our_o closet_n as_o man_n in_o their_o college_n and_o contemplation_n be_v as_o free_v to_o we_o as_o to_o man_n to_o beget_v clear_a

some_o be_v breed_v in_o the_o public_a theatre_n of_o the_o world_n wherefore_o if_o nature_n have_v make_v our_o brain_n of_o the_o same_o temper_n as_o man_n we_o shall_v have_v have_v as_o clear_a

of_o love_n to_o the_o generation_n of_o man_n have_v make_v woman_n to_o be_v govern_v by_o man_n give_v they_o strength_n to_o rule_v and_o power_n to_o use_v their_o authority_n and_o though_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v natural_a that_o general_o all_o woman_n be_v weak_a than_o man_n both_o in_o body_n and_o under_o stand_v and_o that_o the_o wise_a woman_n be_v not_o so_o wise_a as_o the_o wise_a of_o man_n wherefore_o not_o so_o fit_a to_o rule_v yet_o some_o be_v far_o wise_a than_o some_o man_n like_o earth_n for_o some_o ground_n though_o it_o be_v barren_a by_o nature_n yet_o be_v well_o

bring_v nothing_o but_o gross_a and_o stink_a weed_n for_o want_v of_o tillage_n so_o woman_n by_o education_n may_v come_v to_o be_v far_o more_o know_v and_o learned_a than_o some_o rustic_a and_o

the_o fine_a part_n from_o the_o grosser_n which_o seem_v as_o if_o nature_n have_v make_v woman_n as_o pure_a white_a manchet_n for_o her_o own_o table_n and_o palate_n where_o man_n be_v like_o

where_o man_n by_o their_o ambition_n extortion_n fury_n and_o cruelty_n resemble_v the_o devil_n but_o some_o woman_n be_v like_o devil_n too_o when_o they_o be_v possess_v with_o those_o evil_n
