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 there be 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 uncase 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 gates 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 cloy Hope long desired doth bring the greatest Joy Without Injuries the world would languish and have enough to do discord in part makes harmony in the whole and some must laugh whilst others do condole Wrongs like great whirlewinds shake the highest battlements few for Heaven would care should they be ever happy they are half Gods who both in good dayes and good fortunes share Ingratitude is like a dog that flies at his master which it is just with us to strangle neither his kind nor use considered Shame
