Petrarch prosperitas invidi● sunt parentes neernesse and prosperity are the happy parents of this monster which is squint-ey'd that sees not farre off and neere hand sees too perversly with the Spectacles of a wicked imagination The eye is the seat of this soare and a blessing espied through this window killeth the envious man like the Basiliske Intabescitque videndo the more hee sees the more he sighes altogether esteeming his neighbours weale his woe and others glory his griefe Parum est si ipse sit foelix nisi alter fuerit infoelix hee cannot put on the white robes of felicity except another mournes in the sable weeds of adversity neither can hee saile happily except fell Boreas assault others He delights like flies in the wounds of others and that which is a Tragedy to others is to him a Comedy using like the Bragmans to laugh when hee should weepe and to weepe when hee should laugh The bright Sunne of other mens prosperity beating upon the Dunghill of a dejected base spirit engendreth this snake which if it bite a man he instantly swelles with much poyson but like the Serpent Porphyrius wanting teeth and power to vent his venome hee hurts himselfe most Vt Aetna seipsum sic se non alios invidus igne coquit The envious man is no Physitian to himselfe for by his pining and repining hee burnes up his bloud in the fornace of hatred so that his body hath just cause to sue his soule on an action of Dilapidation Envie is the meere Megaera which continually torments his soule Titiique vultur intus qui semper lacerat comestque mentem As poyson is life to a Serpent but death to a man and spettle life to a man but death to a serpent so the virulent sustenance that the envious man lives on is death to a good man and a good mans bene esse is the envious mans non esse Bion Pallor in ore sedet macies in corpore toto Metam beholding such a one with a pale face and lean body whose heart was full of gall his tongue tipt with poyson very sorrowfull asked him saying Whether hath some evill befallen thee or some good to thy neighbour As the venemous Beetle Cantharides delights to consume the finest wheat and nip the fairest flowers so envie invades the best men and those that excell in any good whether of minde body or fortune Therefore Themistocles being but of tender age said Hee had effected as yet nothing excellent and praise-worthy because the darts of envie flew not about his eares As those eyes are acccounted bewitching qui gemin●m habent pupillam sicut Illyrici which have double-sighted eyes So the double-sighted eyes of the envious bewitch his understanding whereby hee misconceives and misinterprets another mans felicity and fortune beholding it with an evill eye as in a multiplying glasse that makes good things appeare great things according to the Poet Fertilior seges est alienis Ovid. semper in agris Vicin●mque pecus grandius uber habet Hee prints discontent in his countenance if another atchieve that honour which is beyond his reach Hunc atque hunc superare laborat Hee strives to excell all though he is excelled by all if hee undertakes a great worke which is above the spheare of his capacity hee will give leave to none other like Aesops dogge in the manger Like the snake in the Apologue that l●cked off her owne tongue when thinking nothing should have teeth but her selfe shee would have licked the file plaine which shee found with teeth at the Smiths forge he drinkes the most part of his venome and hurts himselfe seeking to hurt others yea he will hurt himselfe so that hee may hurt others Simul peccat plectitur expedita j●stitia An expedite kinde of justice when punishment treads upon the heele of sinne For my part I 'le ever embrace Pallas who as the Poets fain stil knocks at the doore of envie that dwels in vallibus imis and so she keeps her from sleeping whom being now stirred and awakned by Pallas I leave with him that loves her till she transforme him to a meere Aglauros as voyd of sense as of humanity A Fortune-teller A Fortune-teller is an idle adle-brain'd fellow who takes upon him as if hee were a bawd to the celestiall bodies by the conjunctions of planets and position of starres to fore-tell the ruines of publike weales to calculate nativities and to fore-tell strange events He pleads a deepe insight into their secrets as if he were their Midwife or as if like the Physitian he had cast the urine of the clouds and knew where the fit held them that it could neither raine nor haile nor snow till some starre had made him her secretary This Aeruscator that strives to get mony by ill meanes tels the fortunes of others uncertainly that hee might encrease his owne certainly if hee tell any thing that comes to passe it is but as if a blinde Archer should hit the Marke Diogenes seeing a fellow that shewed tables of the starres openly say Hae sunt stellae errantes These are the wandring starres answered Ne mentiaris bone vir doe not slander the starres good man that erre not but thy selfe only dost erre by thy vaine speculations of the stars The Tale-tell
