we_o love_v the_o image_n of_o valour_n in_o other_o creature_n which_o be_v hardy_a the_o lion_n can_v proper_o be_v say_v to_o have_v true_a valour_n see_v that_o valour_n be_v a_o virtue_n and_o virtue_n belong_v only_o to_o reasonable_a creature_n yet_o valour_n be_v so_o amiable_a that_o we_o love_v its_o very_a image_n and_o appearance_n in_o the_o brute_n and_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o lion_n with_o a_o kind_n of_o awful_a esteem_n we_o attribute_v to_o he_o action_n of_o generosity_n we_o say_v he_o will_v not_o insult_v over_o a_o vanquish_a enemy_n that_o he_o will_v pardon_v they_o who_o he_o have_v bring_v under_o the_o power_n of_o his_o clutch_n we_o say_v when_o he_o see_v himself_o in_o danger_n to_o be_v overpower_a by_o a_o multitude_n he_o will_v not_o flee_v away_o in_o disorder_n but_o make_v seasonable_a halt_v and_o turn_v he_o retreat_v in_o state_n and_o as_o it_o be_v face_v his_o enemy_n when_o a_o man_n have_v distinguish_v himself_o by_o his_o bravery_n we_o bestow_v some_o title_n upon_o he_o in_o our_o usual_a language_n but_o when_o eloquence_n or_o poesy_n think_v to_o honour_v a_o hero_n it_o compare_v he_o to_o a_o lion_n france_n which_o have_v breed_v up_o many_o person_n who_o deserve_v that_o appellation_n do_v not_o bring_v forth_o lion_n but_o when_o we_o know_v they_o be_v bring_v over_o from_o those_o scorch_a climate_n where_o they_o be_v breed_v into_o our_o country_n we_o be_v curious_a to_o go_v and_o view_v they_o we_o consider_v they_o with_o attention_n and_o a_o kind_n of_o respect_n we_o take_v pleasure_n to_o see_v they_o extend_v their_o claw_n with_o which_o they_o can_v tear_v elephant_n in_o piece_n we_o love_v to_o hear_v his_o roar_a which_o have_v be_v the_o terror_n of_o a_o whole_a country_n the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o eagle_n we_o conceive_v lofty_a thought_n of_o he_o we_o consider_v he_o as_o a_o sovereign_n who_o exercise_v his_o dominion_n in_o the_o vast_a empire_n of_o

this_o reason_n augustus_n as_o tacitus_n have_v well_o observe_v choose_v to_o govern_v the_o empire_n under_o no_o other_o title_n than_o that_o of_o prince_n dion_z to_o the_o same_o sense_n

the_o most_o graceful_a superiority_n be_v that_o which_o be_v found_v in_o the_o high_a perfection_n and_o we_o attribute_v this_o name_n to_o those_o who_o excel_v all_o other_o in_o their_o laudable_a profession_n we_o therefore_o call_v virgil_n the_o prince_n of_o poet_n and_o cicero_n the_o prince_n of_o orator_n of_o all_o those_o royal_a duty_n that_o god_n have_v annex_v to_o the_o

more_o take_v than_o that_o of_o a_o amazon_n chap._n viii_o cowardice_n be_v the_o great_a reproach_n to_o a_o man._n cowardice_n be_v the_o most_o stab_a reproach_n that_o can_v be_v put_v upon_o a_o man._n from_o the_o time_n that_o he_o be_v upbraid_v with_o it_o he_o take_v up_o a_o resolution_n either_o to_o perish_v himself_o or_o to_o avenge_v the_o affront_n by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o accuser_n it_o seem_v a_o less_o evil_a to_o he_o to_o kill_v or_o be_v kill_v than_o to_o suffer_v this_o ignominy_n and_o frequent_o through_o a_o blind_a fury_n he_o be_v transport_v to_o the_o height_n of_o revenge_n nay_o he_o have_v rather_o appear_v a_o perfect_a criminal_a and_o more_o real_o guilty_a of_o other_o vice_n than_o so_o much_o as_o to_o seem_v reproachable_a for_o this_o when_o nature_n perceive_v that_o she_o have_v be_v unkind_a in_o not_o befriend_v a_o man_n with_o that_o courage_n which_o be_v proper_a for_o he_o she_o give_v he_o continual_a advice_n to_o

unprofitable_a than_o she_o sometime_o inspire_v he_o with_o despair_n which_o may_v seem_v to_o pass_v for_o stoutness_n and_o valour_n in_o short_a we_o may_v affirm_v there_o be_v no_o such_o

ix_o whether_o a_o man_n be_v courageous_a or_o fearful_a natural_o i_o be_o now_o come_v to_o a_o thought_n upon_o this_o subject_a which_o i_o know_v not_o if_o i_o can_v well_o express_v nature_n have_v impress_v the_o law_n of_o self-preservation_n upon_o all_o creature_n inspire_v they_o sometime_o with_o very_o contrary_a sentiment_n for_o we_o can_v doubt_v but_o it_o be_v from_o the_o same_o principle_n of_o self-preservation_n which_o render_v the_o lion_n so_o undaunted_a and_o the_o hart_n so_o fearful_a but_o if_o i_o may_v have_v leave_v to_o abstract_n humane_a reason_n and_o to_o consider_v man_n in_o the_o resemblance_n he_o may_v have_v with_o other_o creature_n i_o believe_v nature_n have_v not_o place_v he_o in_o the_o rank_n of_o those_o who_o be_v fearful_a but_o of_o the_o courageous_a this_o appear_v not_o only_o from_o the_o rash_a and_o hardy_a action_n which_o man_n sometime_o commit_v against_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n but_o also_o from_o the_o savage_a nation_n and_o their_o manner_n of_o live_v who_o be_v perpetual_o wage_n war_n one_o against_o another_o and_o seldom_o cease_v till_o their_o eager_a and_o bold_a assault_n ferment_n into_o fury_n and_o ferocity_n but_o coward_n which_o ought_v to_o make_v use_n of_o their_o
