so_o young_a a_o conqueror_n be_v nevertheless_o extreme_o virtuous_a and_o infinite_o amiable_a but_o laelius_n continue_v she_o smile_v since_o you_o have_v begin_v to_o make_v i_o oblige_a

with_o more_o justice_n attribute_v to_o hatred_n but_o to_o make_v the_o conversation_n more_o handsome_a answer_v nadalia_n it_o be_v requisite_a that_o you_o speak_v serious_o as_o also_o that_o

must_v be_v know_v say_v nadalia_n to_o he_o whether_o you_o will_v defend_v love_n or_o hatred_n i_o shall_v speak_v against_o both_o answer_v he_o but_o nadalia_n say_v the_o princess_n of_o hippo_n i_o will_v not_o decide_v this_o debate_n or_o at_o least_o not_o without_o your_o judgement_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o you_o do_v it_o madam_n answer_v she_o for_o not_o to_o make_v the_o

have_v nothing_o more_o powerful_a nothing_o more_o advantageous_a or_o noble_a than_o the_o excellent_a passion_n i_o speak_v of_o we_o see_v love_n be_v a_o god_n and_o a_o god_n so_o powerful_a that_o he_o have_v subdue_v all_o the_o rest_n to_o his_o empire_n and_o who_o that_o he_o may_v triumph_v general_o over_o all_o have_v overcome_v himself_o and_o sometime_o sigh_v after_o the_o fair_a psyche_n and_o if_o it_o be_v true_a proceed_v he_o that_o division_n of_o what_o nature_n soever_o be_v a_o thing_n absolute_o destructive_a be_v it_o not_o just_a to_o affirm_v that_o we_o have_v nothing_o more_o advantageous_a than_o love_n which_o be_v a_o passion_n that_o preserve_v all_o thing_n while_o it_o unite_v they_o and_o indeed_o be_v it_o not_o love_n that_o establish_v civil_a society_n among_o the_o first_o man_n be_v it_o not_o love_v that_o afterward_o incite_v they_o to_o elegancy_n of_o life_n and_o teach_v we_o every_o day_n to_o live_v as_o much_o for_o other_o as_o for_o ourselves_o but_o these_o be_v not_o all_o the_o effect_n of_o love_n for_o if_o virtue_n make_v itself_o to_o be_v belove_v it_o must_v be_v love_n that_o inspire_v it_o since_o love_n seek_v always_o to_o extend_v itself_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o belove_a person_n moreover_o we_o see_v every_o day_n this_o excellent_a passion_n give_v courage_n to_o the_o pufillanimous_a moderate_v the_o fierceness_n of_o conqueror_n open_v the_o purse_n of_o the_o covetous_a and_o daily_o inspire_v we_o with_o such_o excellent_a sentiment_n that_o we_o may_v in_o a_o manner_n say_v that_o nature_n by_o give_v we_o be_v only_o make_v we_o live_v creature_n but_o it_o be_v love_n which_o afterward_o render_v we_o reasonable_a in_o truth_n say_v regulus_n when_o he_o perceive_v laelius_n have_v no_o more_o to_o say_v i_o be_o in_o a_o strange_a perplexity_n be_v oblige_v to_o answer_v a_o person_n of_o a_o transcendent_a wit_n it_o lie_v upon_o i_o to_o speak_v in_o commendation_n of_o hatred_n before_o the_o beautiful_a person_n who_o ought_v extreme_o to_o abhor_v it_o since_o they_o look_v upon_o the_o contrary_a passion_n every_o day_n as_o a_o effect_n of_o their_o beauty_n and_o in_o brief_a i_o must_v be_v the_o patron_n and_o protector_n of_o a_o thing_n who_o only_a name_n seem_v present_o odious_a but_o since_o it_o can_v be_v evident_a continue_v he_o agreeable_o i_o shall_v maintain_v that_o hatred_n be_v more_o powerful_a more_o advantageous_a and_o more_o noble_a then_o love_n and_o in_o effect_n be_v it_o not_o true_a that_o there_o be_v more_o evil_a than_o good_a in_o the_o world_n that_o grief_n act_v more_o vigorous_o than_o joy_n and_o that_o poison_n deprive_v we_o of_o a_o life_n which_o remedy_n be_v unable_a to_o restore_v if_o this_o be_v true_a as_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v be_v it_o not_o also_o true_a that_o the_o passion_n which_o withdraw_v from_o all_o these_o thing_n i_o mention_v aught_o to_o be_v more_o powerful_a and_o advantageous_a then_o that_o which_o lead_v we_o to_o good_a which_o be_v usual_o find_v more_o weak_a than_o evil_a as_o i_o say_v before_o i_o may_v hereunto_o add_v a_o hundred_o other_o particular_n to_o the_o advantage_n of_o hatred_n but_o i_o shall_v content_v myself_o with_o answer_v what_o laelius_n have_v speak_v in_o the_o commendation_n of_o love_n i_o observe_v then_o that_o he_o say_v love_n be_v a_o god_n and_o a_o god_n that_o have_v subdue_v all_o the_o other_o deity_n to_o his_o empire_n nevertheless_o also_o i_o observe_v it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o that_o very_a god_n may_v as_o well_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o the_o god_n of_o hatred_n and_o indeed_o do_v he_o not_o shoot_v as_o many_o arrow_n head_v with_o lead_n which_o produce_v hatred_n in_o the_o breast_n they_o touch_v as_o he_o do_v of_o those_o which_o be_v point_v with_o gold_n which_o inflame_v the_o heart_n which_o they_o wound_v and_o consequent_o cause_v as_o much_o hatred_n as_o love_v he_o may_v assume_v the_o name_n of_o the_o former_a of_o these_o passion_n if_o perhaps_o the_o people_n have_v not_o be_v at_o first_o dazzle_v with_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o rich_a metal_n or_o at_o least_o if_o they_o have_v not_o conceive_v some_o great_a pleasure_n in_o name_v they_o then_o in_o name_v hatred_n which_o be_v produce_v by_o a_o metal_n not_o esteem_v of_o for_o in_o truth_n one_o of_o these_o passion_n do_v not_o satisfy_v more_o than_o the_o other_o and_o i_o believe_v a_o person_n that_o hate_v please_v himself_o as_o much_o in_o his_o aversion_n as_o a_o person_n that_o love_n find_v satisfaction_n in_o reflect_v on_o his_o affection_n therefore_o let_v laelius_n change_v his_o opinion_n and_o let_v he_o no_o long_o say_v that_o it_o be_v love_n rather_o then_o hatred_n which_o establish_v civil_a society_n by_o unite_n our_o forefather_n together_o that_o love_n have_v induce_v we_o to_o politeness_n of_o manner_n and_o teach_v we_o liberality_n and_o the_o way_n to_o act_v for_o the_o interest_n of_o other_o for_o as_o for_o my_o part_n i_o believe_v hatred_n produce_v these_o excellent_a effect_n and_o think_v it_o not_o difficult_a to_o be_v prove_v for_o be_v please_v lady_n to_o imagine_v the_o world_n without_o society_n and_o civil_a manner_n you_o will_v soon_o apprehend_v how_o man_n continue_v in_o desert_n without_o union_n and_o order_n will_v kill_v one_o another_o like_a tiger_n and_o leopard_n but_o you_o will_v also_o see_v that_o come_n by_o degree_n to_o conceive_v a_o hatred_n against_o such_o disorder_n they_o will_v unite_v to_o preserve_v themselves_o they_o will_v build_v city_n to_o secure_v themselves_o from_o the_o attempt_n of_o stranger_n and_o constitute_v punishment_n against_o those_o that_o shall_v cause_v disturbance_n among_o they_o thus_o you_o see_v hatred_n will_v establish_v civil_a society_n and_o let_v it_o not_o be_v object_v to_o i_o that_o this_o proceed_v rather_o from_o the_o love_n we_o bear_v ourselves_o which_o cause_v to_o unite_v for_o our_o own_o conversation_n since_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v that_o self-love_n which_o cause_v all_o the_o former_a disorder_n for_o the_o strong_a will_v never_o go_v about_o to_o oppress_v the_o weak_a if_o he_o be_v not_o desirous_a to_o ravish_v from_o he_o what_o he_o see_v he_o possess_v so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v say_v it_o be_v that_o self-love_n which_o cause_v division_n and_o hatred_n that_o have_v afterward_o establish_v civil_a society_n but_o this_o be_v not_o
so_o fatal_a to_o he_o it_o suffice_v to_o let_v you_o know_v that_o he_o almost_o lose_v all_o heart_n when_o the_o people_n of_o castulon_n begin_v to_o repine_v against_o their_o princess_n for_o not_o give_v you_o her_o speedy_a consent_n and_o that_o his_o regret_v redouble_v when_o it_o be_v rumour_v abroad_o that_o she_o have_v give_v it_o to_o you_o this_o excite_v he_o to_o design_n a_o thousand_o way_n to_o break_v off_o your_o marriage_n which_o soon_o after_o reject_v as_o ineffectual_a he_o bethink_v himself_o at_o length_n of_o employ_v the_o affection_n of_o attanes_n against_o you_o in_o this_o occasion_n he_o therefore_o take_v i_o into_o his_o cabinet_n and_o behold_v i_o a_o while_n with_o unsettled_a look_n ah_o malarcon_n say_v he_o i_o be_o lose_v and_o i_o must_v either_o kill_v hannibal_n this_o day_n or_o hinder_v he_o from_o marry_v thomira_n i_o counsel_v you_o answer_v i_o to_o he_o in_o great_a amazement_n at_o his_o word_n to_o effect_v your_o second_o

that_o i_o write_v he_o and_o you_o relate_v he_o with_o all_o the_o circumstance_n but_o he_o shall_v make_v work_n with_o edescon_n in_o such_o manner_n that_o that_o prince_n shall_v denounce_v to_o thomira_n that_o he_o in_o no_o wise_a consent_n that_o she_o marry_v with_o a_o carthaginian_a and_o the_o princess_n of_o castulon_n be_v a_o lady_n of_o very_o great_a virtue_n will_v

impower_v i_o to_o do_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a my_o lord_n to_o relate_v to_o you_o the_o effect_n of_o my_o negotiation_n be_v i_o know_v you_o see_v the_o letter_n at_o castulon_n which_o

without_o question_n my_o lord_n that_o the_o last_o time_n you_o see_v the_o princess_n thomira_n you_o depart_v from_o her_o unsatisfied_a and_o leave_v she_o after_o a_o manner_n not_o ordinary_a

nevertheless_o for_o all_o this_o his_o love_n and_o his_o jealousy_n grow_v to_o so_o great_a excess_n that_o see_v all_o be_v lose_v for_o he_o he_o resolve_v to_o hazard_v all_o and_o serve_v
