aequa_fw-la potestas_fw-la there_o be_v one_o point_n of_o disparity_n between_o they_o in_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o which_o i_o will_v glad_o be_v satisfy_v and_o that_o be_v why_o poetry_n and_o

be_v a_o great_a master_n and_o raise_v a_o estate_n julio_n after_o a_o little_a pause_n answer_v to_o this_o purpose_n it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o those_o who_o addict_v themselves_o to_o

one_o reason_n may_v be_v that_o they_o be_v man_n of_o generous_a soul_n above_o their_o fortune_n and_o live_v according_a to_o the_o idea_n and_o notion_n they_o read_v and_o write_v of_o which_o though_o commendable_a in_o poem_n and_o romance_n yet_o be_v not_o practicable_a here_o without_o a_o plentiful_a revenue_n and_o almost_o inexhaustible_a fund_z beside_o they_o love_v quiet_a as_o most_o agreeable_a to_o their_o study_n while_o those_o who_o raise_v estate_n be_v your_o intreaguer_n man_n of_o business_n and_o such_o as_o live_v in_o a_o continual_a hurry_n add_v to_o this_o that_o be_v man_n of_o witty_a and_o delightsom_a conversation_n their_o company_n be_v desire_v by_o almost_o all_o and_o those_o of_o fortune_n and_o expense_n great_a than_o they_o in_o prudence_n can_v cope_v with_o which_o insensible_o decay_v that_o little_a estate_n which_o they_o have_v an_o other_o reason_n may_v be_v that_o they_o aspire_v no_o high_a than_o a_o handsome_a subsistence_n for_o the_o present_a and_o leave_v the_o future_a to_o providence_n that_o dispose_v all_o thing_n in_o which_o particular_a they_o be_v better_a christian_n and_o philosopher_n than_o husband_n and_o parent_n after_o all_o perhaps_o this_o character_n of_o poverty_n be_v not_o only_o applyable_a to_o poet_n but_o in_o some_o if_o not_o equal_a degree_n to_o all_o other_o scholar_n who_o be_v

estate_n have_v overgrow_v their_o wit_n and_o humanity_n think_v themselves_o importune_v with_o their_o address_n and_o therefore_o speak_v more_o disgraceful_o of_o they_o than_o they_o deserve_v these_o be_v the_o reverse_n of_o a_o m●cenas_n they_o have_v have_v his_o riches_n but_o soul_n below_o a_o plebeian_n they_o look_v upon_o a_o poet_n or_o poor_a scholar_n with_o a_o present_a or_o

this_o reason_n say_v mitis_n i_o will_v have_v if_o possible_a no_o poet_n but_o such_o only_a who_o have_v estate_n of_o inheritance_n large_a and_o sufficient_a to_o guard_v they_o both_o from_o
