a_o great_a prince_n it_o be_v true_a say_v the_o chevalier_n that_o it_o be_v amiable_a and_o that_o it_o inspire_v respect_n although_o it_o be_v force_v to_o be_v silent_a and_o unactive_a but_o you_o have_v hit_v upon_o the_o two_o thing_n which_o give_v lustre_n the_o speak_v and_o the_o action_n all_o depend_v upon_o that_o and_o it_o be_v that_o say_v homer_n which_o the_o learned_a chiron_n teach_v to_o young_a achilles_n that_o master_n say_v the_o mareshal_n without_o doubt_n have_v great_a skill_n he_o make_v a_o scholar_n that_o the_o world_n have_v talk_v of_o and_o if_o that_o we_o see_v so_o few_o of_o so_o high_a and_o extraordinary_a a_o worth_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o the_o governor_n as_o he_o end_v these_o word_n he_o see_v gamester_n come_v in_o who_o come_v to_o divert_v he_o and_o that_o put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o conversation_n the_o sixth_z conversation_n the_o chevalier_n come_v to_o the_o mareshal_n house_n who_o have_v pass_v the_o afternoon_n at_o play_n he_o come_v just_a as_o the_o game_n be_v end_v and_o the_o gamester_n be_v retire_v the_o mareshal_n who_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o go_v abroad_o be_v glad_a to_o see_v he_o come_v so_o opportune_o to_o have_v he_o with_o he_o i_o will_v not_o ask_v you_o say_v he_o whether_o you_o be_v for_o walk_v for_o i_o know_v very_o well_o you_o love_v to_o look_v upon_o the_o different_a colour_n which_o be_v in_o the_o sky_n when_o the_o sun_n set_v and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o pleasure_n to_o you_o to_o breathe_v the_o fresh_a air_n in_o the_o evening_n i_o be_o only_o in_o doubt_n of_o which_o side_n we_o shall_v go_v that_o wood_n where_o we_o be_v the_o other_o day_n will_v please_v i_o much_o but_o we_o must_v cross_v the_o town_n to_o go_v to_o it_o and_o the_o way_n be_v very_o rough_a i_o doubt_v beside_o whether_o we_o shall_v have_v time_n enough_o i_o suppose_v say_v the_o chevalier_n that_o it_o will_v be_v best_a to_o go_v the_o low_a way_n along_o by_o the_o waterside_n which_o advice_n be_v follow_v and_o they_o go_v on_o that_o side_n as_o far_o as_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o meadow_n where_o they_o stop_v because_o they_o can_v not_o go_v further_o with_o the_o coach_n and_o alight_v to_o walk_v by_o the_o river_n side_n the_o mareshal_n love_v not_o to_o be_v long_o silent_a and_o it_o happen_v lucky_o for_o he_o and_o for_o those_o who_o frequent_v he_o who_o be_v always_o glad_a to_o hear_v he_o he_o have_v be_v so_o employ_v at_o play_n that_o he_o have_v scarce_o say_v any_o thing_n all_o the_o day_n he_o begin_v at_o the_o first_o to_o speak_v of_o some_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v most_o a_o mind_n to_o and_o after_o some_o discourse_n upon_o that_o subject_a we_o must_v not_o say_v he_o look_v upon_o king_n with_o the_o same_o eye_n as_o we_o do_v upon_o private_a person_n the_o most_o part_n whereof_o have_v little_a other_o aim_n than_o to_o live_v content_o and_o at_o ease_n though_o a_o man_n of_o ability_n do_v always_o study_v most_o how_o to_o purchase_v love_n and_o esteem_v i_o know_v very_o well_o what_o false_a glory_n be_v a_o worthy_a honest_a man_n regard_v it_o not_o and_o the_o wise_a despise_v it_o but_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o the_o more_o courage_n and_o wit_n a_o man_n have_v the_o more_o he_o love_v true_a honour_n and_o if_o there_o where_o any_o one_o who_o can_v not_o acquire_v that_o although_o he_o have_v all_o other_o thing_n to_o be_v wish_v he_o will_v nevertheless_o be_v much_o to_o be_v pity_v at_o least_o if_o he_o be_v of_o a_o generous_a noble_a nature_n and_o if_o you_o observe_v it_o people_n be_v less_o willing_a to_o pardon_v those_o injury_n which_o touch_v upon_o their_o honour_n than_o any_o other_o and_o when_o they_o find_v themselves_o touch_v on_o that_o side_n they_o think_v they_o can_v enough_o resent_v it_o also_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n that_o which_o make_v people_n so_o much_o desire_v great_a employment_n and_o high_a command_n be_v not_o for_o the_o conveniency_n of_o life_n for_o our_o life_n be_v make_v by_o they_o the_o more_o troublesome_a but_o it_o be_v the_o hope_n of_o have_v a_o opportunity_n to_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o they_o have_v merit_n in_o they_o but_o this_o nevertheless_o for_o a_o private_a person_n can_v extend_v itself_o far_o nor_o be_v but_o of_o short_a continuance_n but_o king_n be_v look_v upon_o by_o all_o the_o earth_n and_o posterity_n which_o never_o flatter_v any_o body_n will_v be_v judge_n of_o their_o merit_n glory_n be_v their_o great_a and_o their_o chief_a interest_n all_o the_o hero_n and_o all_o the_o great_a man_n have_v devote_v and_o give_v themselves_o up_o to_o it_o one_o have_v need_n be_v able_a faithful_a and_o zealous_a to_o give_v they_o good_a counsel_n in_o this_o particular_a and_o principal_o they_o ought_v well_o to_o understand_v in_o what_o true_a glory_n consist_v and_o by_o what_o mean_v it_o may_v be_v acquire_v it_o be_v say_v that_o parmenio_n that_o great_a captain_n who_o only_a aim_n be_v to_o vanquish_v counsel_v his_o master_n to_o surprise_v the_o enemy_n because_o of_o their_o great_a number_n and_o to_o assault_v they_o by_o the_o favour_n of_o the_o night_n but_o this_o prince_n who_o make_v it_o not_o so_o much_o his_o aim_n to_o gain_v the_o battle_n as_o to_o make_v his_o valour_n be_v admire_v will_v fight_v they_o in_o the_o day_n time_n be_v resolve_v to_o lose_v all_o both_o his_o life_n and_o fortune_n rather_o than_o to_o run_v the_o hazard_n of_o have_v cause_n to_o blush_v at_o his_o victory_n the_o same_o man_n counsel_v he_o also_o to_o divide_v asia_n with_o the_o persian_n and_o to_o receive_v great_a treasure_n which_o they_o propose_v to_o he_o this_o advice_n he_o receive_v no_o better_a than_o the_o other_o he_o have_v a_o heart_n too_o imperious_a to_o suffer_v any_o one_o to_o be_v equal_a with_o he_o and_o too_o high_a to_o love_v gold_n and_o riches_n his_o desire_n tend_v only_o to_o glory_n and_o if_o he_o do_v not_o always_o know_v what_o be_v the_o best_a and_o most_o solid_a it_o be_v because_o he_o be_v yery_a young_a and_o that_o he_o see_v himself_o at_o the_o top_n of_o fortune_n beside_o he_o grasp_v at_o so_o many_o thing_n that_o he_o can_v not_o well_o have_v a_o due_a regard_n to_o every_o thing_n that_o he_o undertake_v and_o he_o be_v also_o easy_o transport_v the_o small_a error_n that_o prince_n commit_v be_v sometime_o of_o great_a consequence_n to_o their_o reputation_n and_o i_o shall_v advise_v they_o if_o they_o will_v trust_v my_o judgement_n to_o consider_v often_o in_o what_o manner_n the_o great_a man_n will_v carry_v themselves_o if_o they_o have_v their_o part_n to_o act_v it_o be_v no_o ill_a way_n to_o advise_v a_o prince_n to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v most_o honest_a and_o likewise_o most_o heroic_a we_o have_v see_v already_o that_o it_o be_v that_o which_o befit_v he_o best_o and_o if_o we_o look_v further_o into_o thing_n concern_v this_o world_n we_o still_o find_v in_o all_o manner_n of_o respect_n that_o this_o at_o last_o be_v the_o best_a both_o heaven_n and_o fortune_n seem_v to_o have_v a_o particular_a care_n of_o these_o great_a heart_n who_o be_v negligent_a and_o resign_v up_o themselves_o the_o brave_a for_o the_o most_o part_n prevail_v and_o a_o high_a resolution_n have_v be_v the_o save_n of_o many_o more_o people_n than_o it_o have_v lose_v the_o more_o this_o prince_n who_o i_o be_v speak_v of_o seek_v after_o death_n the_o further_a it_o be_v from_o he_o and_o if_o he_o be_v wound_v as_o it_o be_v almost_o impossible_a for_o any_o one_o to_o throw_v himself_o continual_o into_o danger_n and_o never_o to_o be_v so_o it_o be_v at_o least_o without_o be_v ever_o kill_v or_o overcome_v however_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v wish_v that_o a_o prince_n shall_v hazard_v himself_o so_o much_o or_o that_o he_o shall_v only_o know_v that_o way_n to_o glory_n for_o beside_o that_o it_o will_v put_v we_o in_o continual_a alarm_n for_o so_o precious_a a_o life_n it_o appear_v to_o i_o below_o a_o great_a prince_n to_o expose_v himself_o on_o all_o occasion_n and_o if_o you_o well_o consider_v it_o it_o be_v not_o that_o which_o most_o show_v the_o greatness_n of_o one_o soul_n and_o the_o contempt_n of_o death_n i_o think_v it_o much_o better_a to_o march_v towards_o death_n with_o a_o steady_a pace_n like_o socrates_n than_o to_o precipitate_v one_o self_n upon_o it_o like_o alexander_n for_o this_o be_v to_o effect_v a_o very_a difficult_a thing_n
