that_o do_v not_o present_o desire_v to_o be_v a_o king_n but_o because_o it_o be_v too_o difficult_a it_o be_v become_v one_o hope_n be_v not_o move_v and_o so_o this_o desire_n be_v no_o soon_o

may_v make_v he_o hope_n to_o be_v love_v and_o consequent_o to_o obtain_v what_o he_o love_v and_o desire_v let_v we_o begin_v with_o wisdom_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o do_v old_a man_n the_o most_o honour_n and_o let_v we_o see_v if_o she_o be_v capable_a of_o make_v they_o hope_v any_o thing_n from_o love_n if_o i_o discourse_v with_o one_o of_o they_o he_o will_v doubtless_o tell_v i_o that_o it_o be_v the_o great_a folly_n a_o man_n can_v do_v to_o become_v in_o love_n in_o his_o old_a age_n by_o this_o than_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o a_o old_a man_n can_v hope_v much_o since_o he_o be_v assure_v to_o go_v for_o a_o fool_n to_o love_v at_o his_o age_n beside_o they_o know_v but_o too_o well_o how_o odious_a the_o name_n of_o old_a age_n be_v to_o all_o that_o be_v beautiful_a in_o the_o world_n and_o how_o they_o change_v both_o voice_n and_o countenance_n at_o the_o sight_n only_o of_o gray_a hair_n i_o may_v have_v here_o a_o fair_a field_n to_o enlarge_v upon_o but_o to_o you_o that_o can_v divine_v the_o half_a of_o what_o i_o will_v say_v i_o must_v not_o relate_v all_o let_v we_o observe_v old_a folk_n another_o way_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o be_v far_o enough_o from_o hope_n nothing_o be_v so_o natural_a to_o they_o as_o to_o fear_n whether_o it_o be_v that_o it_o proceed_v from_o their_o own_o weakness_n or_o from_o the_o experience_n they_o have_v that_o the_o world_n be_v but_o a_o cheat_n how_o can_v we_o make_v it_o appear_v afier_n this_o that_o they_o love_n if_o they_o be_v in_o continual_a apprehension_n to_o be_v deceive_v i_o remember_v something_o to_o this_o purpose_n which_o one_o of_o my_o friend_n tell_v i_o not_o long_o ago_o that_o a_o old_a man_n may_v love_v a_o person_n much_o inferior_a to_o he_o and_o of_o a_o indifferent_a beauty_n that_o may_v make_v he_o hope_n to_o be_v love_v again_o by_o reason_n she_o be_v not_o amiable_a enough_o to_o be_v love_v of_o another_o but_o who_o be_v it_o that_o see_v not_o that_o there_o be_v more_o of_o wit_n than_o truth_n in_o this_o reason_n because_o it_o be_v first_o necessary_a that_o love_n come_v either_o from_o choice_n or_o destiny_n as_o for_o example_n destiny_n cause_v that_o two_o heart_n love_v each_o other_o when_o it_o happen_v that_o they_o be_v both_o bear_v under_o the_o same_o ascendant_n or_o that_o the_o same_o planet_n rule_v the_o life_n of_o both_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o these_o two_o person_n love_v entire_o again_o we_o may_v love_v by_o dcstiny_n when_o there_o be_v a_o resemblance_n of_o humour_n as_o physician_n argue_v and_o in_o many_o other_o which_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o if_o it_o be_v requisite_a to_o tell_v you_o all_o the_o opinion_n they_o have_v upon_o this_o subject_a we_o can_v say_v that_o these_o good_a old_a grandsire_n be_v capable_a of_o this_o love_n when_o they_o choose_v a_o mistress_n for_o they_o be_v not_o assure_v that_o she_o they_o shall_v take_v for_o the_o object_n of_o their_o desire_n have_v a_o humour_n like_o they_o that_o she_o have_v the_o same_o ascendant_n or_o that_o she_o be_v bear_v under_o the_o same_o planet_n they_o be_v i_o say_v no_o more_o assure_v than_o to_o know_v how_o to_o bring_v themselves_o to_o it_o if_o we_o will_v now_o that_o love_n come_v to_o a_o old_a man_n by_o choice_n since_o in_o effect_n he_o seek_v she_o who_o he_o think_v easy_a to_o win_v i_o say_v that_o love_n comport_v himself_o to_o all_o that_o be_v good_a or_o fair_a or_o that_o seem_v so_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o i_o pray_v tell_v i_o what_o reason_n be_v there_o to_o believe_v that_o a_o old_a man_n can_v be_v in_o love_n if_o he_o seek_v that_o which_o be_v less_o amiable_a it_o be_v rather_o a_o token_n of_o choler_n and_o hatred_n which_o he_o have_v against_o himself_o than_o a_o sign_n of_o love_n it_o seem_v as_o though_o he_o will_v punish_v himself_o for_o the_o smallness_n of_o his_o merit_n or_o that_o he_o have_v despite_n for_o not_o know_v how_o to_o aspire_v to_o something_o better_a compose_v we_o also_o see_v that_o most_o of_o your_o grey_a beard_n address_v themselves_o common_o to_o none_o but_o person_n that_o be_v make_v unhappy_a by_o the_o way_n of_o fortune_n or_o to_o those_o that_o have_v not_o too_o much_o wit_n to_o be_v successful_a in_o their_o deregulate_v affection_n but_o yet_o this_o can_v be_v call_v love_n for_o the_o reason_n i_o have_v already_o mention_v since_o consider_v these_o two_o evil_a quality_n in_o they_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o can_v have_v any_o love_n no_o more_o than_o esteem_v if_o the_o object_n they_o choose_v be_v in_o misery_n they_o believe_v as_o in_o effect_v it_o be_v true_a that_o it_o be_v the_o estate_n they_o love_v in_o they_o and_o not_o their_o person_n that_o they_o will_v have_v no_o love_n for_o they_o do_v they_o not_o buy_v it_o and_o that_o they_o court_v they_o for_o nought_o but_o to_o pick_v their_o pocket_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n as_o in_o this_o thing_n they_o be_v most_o sensible_a and_o since_o they_o behold_v their_o mistress_n like_v so_o many_o harpy_n i_o believe_v they_o can_v have_v any_o love_n for_o they_o and_o for_o the_o last_o reason_n i_o conclude_v that_o a_o old_a man_n be_v incapable_a of_o love_n because_o he_o think_v himself_o not_o love_v again_o but_o shall_v there_o be_v find_v in_o the_o world_n woman_n with_o so_o little_a sense_n as_o to_o love_v man_n of_o their_o age._n i_o say_v that_o notwithstanding_o they_o will_v have_v no_o love_n for_o they_o judge_v

indeed_o to_o love_v at_o that_o age_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o young_a people_n but_o one_o must_v likewise_o be_v wise_a indeed_o to_o love_n after_o the_o manner_n i_o say_v but_o it_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o a_o young_a man_n there_o be_v nevertheless_o say_v the_o count_n a_o famous_a author_n among_o the_o greek_n who_o say_v that_o the_o less_o time_n we_o have_v to_o live_v the_o
