still ordained for to disease the natures of best complexions Goodness is but an out side we all set In rings of gold stones that are counterfet A Dissembler is like a goodly apple rotten at the core Womens tongues for their garulity are like to clocks if they go too fast they never go true Envy doth feed on entrails like a Kite in which foul heap if any ills lie hid she strikes her beak into it shakes it up hurls it so abroad that all may view it corruption is her nutriment but touch her with any precious ointments and you kill her Envy is like a flie that passeth all the bodies soundest parts and dwells upon his sores and if her squint-eye have power to finde out none she then forgeth some she makes that crooked ever which before was streight calls valour giddiness and justice tyranny Extreams in our delights have violent ends and in their triumphs die like fire and powder which as they kiss consume the sweetest honey is loathsome in its own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite As the east and west upon the globe a Mathematical point only divides thus happiness and misery and all extreams are still contiguous They are as sick that surfet with too much as they that starve with nothing So it is a happiness to be seated in the Mean superfluity comes soon by white hairs but competency lives longer A false Dissembler is like the serpent that parted with its subtilty and closed it in the fruit 'T is with our souls as with our eyes that after a long darkness over dazled with the approach of sudden light when in the midst of fears we are surprized with unexpected happiness the first degrees of joy are meer astonishments Fidelity in secrets though it be honest bears its punishment with it such a person is like to one that in cold nights will needs have all the fire and there is held by others and embraced only to burn himself by their direction Flattery is the bellows that blows up sin we seldom see a flattering Knave turn Courtier but many Courtiers have turn'd flattering Knaves Fools are like obedient children brought up under a hard mother in law and a cruel who being not used to breakfasts and collations when they have course bread offered them are thankful and take it for a favour too A man of Fortitude doth imitate the weather that sings in tempests and being clear is silent Fear dwells with earth-quakes shipracks at sea or prodigies in heaven a valiant man he cannot see so many fathom beneath the height of his own heart as fear is Valiant hearts Kings may dissolve but not defeat a man that is void of fear when he doth fall he lies great in his ruines like the sacred carkasses of scattered temples he still reverend lies and the religious honour him no less then if he stood in all his majesty Without misfortune vertue hath no glory valor is of no use opposed trees make tempests shew their powers as waves forced back by rocks make Neptunes towers It is not breath can fright a noble truth nor is there Magick in the person of a king that plays the tyrant if that therebe a good sword can easily uncharm it as the calm air stills tempests Fortune hath hours of loss and hours of gain the brave man feels them both who like the angry bull never goes back for breath but when he means to arm his fury double Fortune is a slut and being a whore her self would have no Lady marry and live honest Glory is like Alcides shirt if it stay on us till pride hath mixed it with our blood nor can we part with it at our pleasure when we would unease it brings along with it both flesh and sinnews and leaves us living monsters Gamesters have hearts more spacious then Kings did they divide the Empire of the world they would make one throw for all To define a Gallant of the times right a Mercer formed him a Tailor makes him and a Player gives him spirit The shrub securely grows the tallest Cedar stands most in danger of the winde Thus we distinguish the noble from the base the noble finde their lives and deaths still troublesome but Humility doth sleep while the storm grows hoarse with scolding The rates of Honor are arched so high that Giants may let through and keep their impious Turbands on without good morrow to the sun Why do we scorn inferiour men since to be lower then the worms is to be higher then the greatest Monarchs Humility is yong Ambitions ladder whereon the climber upwards turns his face but when he once attains the upmost round he then unto the ladder turns his back looks in the clouds scorning the base degrees by which he did ascend When once the Spring main Hope is fallen into disorder no wonder if the lesser wheels Desire and Joy stand still our thoughts like Bees when they have lost their King wander confusedly and settle no where The Powers like to best Tutors do inflict hard tasks upon great natures and of noblest Hopes read triviall Lessons Hope is in opposition with Despair and like the zealous advocate in the cause of his afflicted client labors still to overthrow the quirks and fallacies Despair is nimble in whilst Fear with trembling expects trials issue Honor in noble persons as the pure oar refined exceeds in value treble proportions of the courser dross Men in themselves intirely Honest may march safe with naked feet on coals of fire so flames do reach at heaven ere they expire An Honest soul is like a ship at sea that sleeps at anchor when the ocean's calm but when she rages and the wind blows high he cuts his way with skill and majesty As the light serves not only to shew but renders us mutually profitable so our lives spent in acts examplary and Honest win our selves good names and do to others give matter for vertuous deeds by which they live How subtilly Hell doth flatter Vice mounts it aloft and makes it seem to fly so the fowl the Tortois mockt who to the sky the ambitious shell-fish raised the end of all is only that he may from thence dead fall As men in scorn of a true flame that is near run to light their tapers at a glo-worm so pleasures are valued above heaven Hatred like clocks wound up to watch the sun hasting a head-long course on many wheels hath never done until all be undone Hatred hatcht at home is a tame tyger may fawn and sport but never leave its nature Our Hair grows in our grave and that alone Looks fresh when all our other beauty 's gone There is no Joy on earth never so rational so pure so holy but is like a Jeaster Parasite or Whore in the most worthy parts with which they please a drunkenness of soul a disease What unsubstantial bubbles are the beast of humane Joys Things that we daily see the affections
saw you enjoying a thousand wonders and in a moment I was sensible of a thousand torments of Love and being capable of nothing but Admiration methought that this Beauty was in the world for no other end but deserve and for me to be obedient to I see no reason Fairest that the belief which I have taken with the clearest judgement that I have of your Beauty should be swallow'd up by your misbelieving opinions Sir They say that contrariety doth animate persons the more and therefore I shall be silent that I may hinder these unjust Praises perhaps you will have pitty on my seeble resistance and will be weary of conquering so easily Madam 'T is rather my self that ought to keep silent being so lately in an astonishment but as for you Madam it would be a sin against your fair lips whose words are Oracles Then pray Sir why do you not believe that which I say for all Oracles are truth But why will you Madam by perswasion hinder the belief which I have taken with sight and judgment For I will believe your Beauty against all your unbelief and undervaluings and also continue the Service which I have sworn you against any thing that shall hinder it My Attempt also hath promis'd my Design that future Ages shall admire your Merit and my Servitude and record us as the most faithful Lovers in Cupid's Dominions I fear Sir that time will alter this opinion Madam Time can do nothing against that which Love hath ordain'd he is the master of Fortune and an enemy to change But wherefore this superfluity of speech It is better to believe by the force of Words then by the force of Perswasion and therefore at this time it is more necessary for me to demand of you Remedies for this remove the apprehension whereof makes me endure this present pain Sir It behooves you to forget your Design and you will avoid the Pain that will follow and also the Repentance No Madam I will keep the memory of my Design eternally and shall always see painted before me the glory of my Enterprize Adieu great Beauty you shall never cast your eyes downward but you shall perceive lying at your feet him that admires you nor ever elevate your Thoughts to your deserts but you shall remember your conquest Adieu Fairest for now I leave the Sun and go to seek out Night and Sorrows cell The Return I come Madam to receive as much content from your chearful Countenance as the loss of it hath yielded me sorrow I know the Good will now be as great as the Evil since they proceed both from the same cause Sir I do believe that you do receive the one as well as you have suffer'd the other but I beseech you Sir to tell me from whence that pain proceeds which you say you do endure for as to my self I do believe that the pleasure of Thinking is greater then that of Seeing Madam It is permitted me to think but experiment forbids me believe that opinion for I receive from my Imaginations only a good imagination on the contrary the sight cannot err But it is said Sir that the presence only contents the Eyes which are Mortal but that absence exercises the Soul which is Divine and therefore if that did any way afflict you you might easily avoid it It was some good Genius Madam that took me yesterday from your eyes that I might the better value the happiness of their lustre and avoid the extremity of that pain which the loss of them made me endure causing in me such an impatience to return to you that every hour I staid from you seem'd an age Sir That which is foreseen is easily avoided Now you perceive whence the evil that you speak of proceeds yet the little occasion that you had to fear it makes you find it out willingly therefore blame your own desires which have procur'd you this evil and do not complain on Destiny which is always just Madam My Will is not the cause for then I should fly my self and come back to you but Love to abuse me the more gave me the Desire and hinder'd the Effect Though I believe it to be one of his Destinies for it behooves a true passion to overcome the violence of all opposition by a diligent constancy Demand of Assurance Fairest It is now time that I should require from you some Assurances of your friendship because I cannot grant you that authority which you have over my Affections but by the service which I am willing to render to your power The proof whereof depends upon opportunity and the opportunity occasion upon your commands swear to me therefore by your fair Eyes that you love that which they have subdu'd that I may boast my ruine to be a mark as well of my glory as of your puissance Do you think Sir that that which is ruin'd by the Eyes can â—e belov'd by the Heart Dear Lady why should you not affect that love which you your self have created Would you cause it to be born and dye at the same instant that would be the action of an inconstant soul. It is you Sir that run the hazard of being call'd by that name for if love proceed from merit you will soon finde some one more worthy your Affection then my self Madam I shall never seck the means to find any more signal worth then that which you possess it is permitted to those who are less worthy to have such jealousies but not to you whose Beauty hath such a supereminence above all others in the world No Madam take counsel of your own worth and it will shew the fair Election which I have made how impossible it is to be changed the design coming from the judgement of our Soul which being Divine cannot erre But Sir they say that love is very subject to knowledge of which you being so well provided 't is to be fear'd that you may make use of those agreeable diversities that Love doth every day present to unfaithful Lovers Madam May he banish me from his Empire if I have any other Will then what is agreeable to his He sees that I am yours so his Power and my Will are agreed my Designs concur with his Commands Sir I believe that Love himself could not know how to force you to love He fear'd Madam lest he should be made himself a slave He hath no force able to resist your puissance unless it be your own therefore since you have this Glory entire to your self to have vanquish'd all the world there remains nothing now but that you should vanquish your self Sir I cannot do any thing else but vanquish having neither Will nor Thought which doth not render obedience to that duty which I have taken to be the perfect guide of my life Madam You oppose your Designs to my Prayers to the end this refusal may redouble my passion and cause me to persist more eagerly in the pursuit of your tempting
