where_o the_o historian_n bind_v to_o tell_v thing_n as_o thing_n be_v can_v be_v liberal_a without_o he_o will_v be_v poetical_a of_o a_o perfect_a pattern_n but_o as_o in_o alexander_n or_o scipio_n himself_o show_v do_n some_o to_o be_v like_v some_o to_o be_v mislike_v and_o then_o how_o will_v you_o discern_v what_o to_o follow_v but_o by_o your_o own_o discretion_n which_o you_o have_v without_o read_v q._n curtius_n and_o whereas_o a_o man_n may_v say_v though_o in_o universal_a consideration_n of_o doctrine_n the_o poet_n prevail_v yet_o that_o the_o history_n in_o his_o say_n such_o a_o thing_n be_v do_v do_v warrant_v a_o man_n more_o in_o that_o he_o shall_v follow_v the_o answer_n be_v manifest_a that_o if_o he_o stand_v upon_o that_o be_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v argue_v because_o it_o rain_v yesterday_o therefore_o it_o shall_v rain_v to_o day_n than_o indeed_o have_v it_o some_o advantage_n to_o a_o gross_a conceit_n but_o if_o he_o know_v a_o example_n only_o inform_v a_o conjecture_v likelihood_n and_o so_o go_v by_o reason_n the_o poet_n do_v so_o far_o exceed_v he_o as_o he_o be_v to_o frame_v his_o example_n to_o that_o which_o be_v most_o reasonable_a be_v it_o in_o warlike_a politic_a or_o private_a matter_n where_o the_o historian_n in_o his_o bare_a be_v have_v many_o time_n that_o which_o we_o call_v fortune_n to_o over-rule_v the_o best_a wisdom_n many_o time_n he_o must_v tell_v event_n whereof_o he_o can_v yield_v no_o cause_n or_o if_o he_o do_v it_o must_v be_v poetical_o for_o that_o a_o feign_a example_n have_v as_o much_o force_n to_o teach_v as_o a_o true_a example_n for_o as_o for_o to_o move_v it_o be_v clear_a since_o the_o feign_a may_v be_v tune_v to_o the_o high_a key_n of_o passion_n let_v we_o take_v one_o example_n wherein_o a_o historian_n and_o a_o poet_n do_v concur_v herodotus_n and_o justin_n do_v both_o testify_v that_o zopirus_n king_n darius_n faithful_a servant_n see_v his_o master_n long_o resist_v by_o the_o rebellious_a babylonians_n feign_a himself_o in_o extreme_a disgrace_n of_o his_o king_n for_o verify_v of_o which_o he_o cause_v his_o own_o nose_n and_o ear_n to_o be_v cut_v off_o and_o so_o fly_v to_o the_o babylonian_n be_v receive_v and_o for_o his_o know_a valour_n so_o far_o creadit_v that_o he_o do_v find_v mean_n to_o deliver_v they_o over_o to_o darius_n much_o like_a matter_n do_v livy_n record_v of_o tarqvinius_n and_o his_o son_n xenophon_n excellent_o feign_v such_o a_o other_o stratagem_n perform_v by_o abradates_n in_o cyrus_n behalf_n now_o will_v i_o fain_o know_v if_o occasion_n be_v present_v unto_o you_o to_o serve_v your_o prince_n by_o such_o a_o honest_a dissimulation_n why_o you_o do_v not_o as_o well_o learn_v it_o of_o xenophons_n fiction_n as_o of_o the_o other_o verity_n and_o true_o so_o much_o the_o better_a as_o you_o shall_v save_v your_o nose_n by_o the_o bargain_n for_o abradates_n do_v not_o counterfeit_v so_o far_o so_o then_o the_o best_a of_o the_o historian_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o poet_n for_o whatsoever_o action_n or_o faction_n whatsoever_o counsel_n policy_n or_o war_n stratagem_n the_o historian_n be_v bind_v to_o recite_v that_o may_v the_o poet_n if_o he_o lift_v with_o his_o imitation_n make_v his_o own_o beautify_v it_o both_o for_o further_a teach_v and_o more_o delight_v as_o it_o please_v he_o have_v all_o from_o dante_n his_o heaven_n to_o his_o hell_n under_o the_o authority_n of_o his_o pen._n which_o if_o i_o be_v ask_v what_o poet_n have_v do_v so_o as_o i_o may_v well_o

commendation_n be_v peculiar_a to_o poetry_n and_o far_o off_o from_o history_n for_o indeed_o poetry_n ever_o set_v virtue_n so_o out_o in_o her_o best_a colour_n make_v fortune_n her_o

i_o speak_v still_o of_o moral_a doctrine_n as_o that_o it_o move_v one_o to_o do_v that_o which_o it_o do_v teach_v for_o as_o aristotle_n say_v it_o be_v not_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d but_o
