to_o say_v the_o truth_n whosoever_o undertake_v to_o ascertain_v a_o prince_n what_o will_v make_v he_o happy_a must_v know_v he_o very_o perfect_o many_o time_n we_o ourselves_o know_v not_o what_o

event_n which_o they_o delight_v in_o i_o be_o think_v of_o that_o which_o you_o say_v just_a now_o there_o be_v always_o in_o those_o country_n some_o adventure_n of_o love_n and_o of_o war_n but_o

be_v wont_a to_o communicate_v free_o with_o their_o friend_n and_o that_o they_o be_v very_o familiar_a at_o least_o caesar_n be_v so_o say_v the_o chevalier_n even_o with_o his_o soldier_n so_o far_o as_o he_o take_v delight_n to_o remember_v in_o any_o of_o their_o remarkable_a say_n this_o familiarity_n which_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n accompany_v with_o other_o kindness_n have_v charm_v they_o so_o that_o when_o they_o be_v to_o fight_v for_o his_o glory_n they_o think_v nothing_o difficult_a to_o they_o and_o be_v not_o apprehensive_a either_o of_o peril_n or_o death_n if_o by_o

quarter_n i_o wonder_v not_o then_o at_o all_o say_v the_o mareshal_n that_o such_o a_o man_n follow_v by_o such_o people_n although_o the_o small_a number_n do_v always_o conquer_v that_o which_o i_o say_v that_o heaven_n take_v these_o great_a heart_n into_o its_o protection_n it_o appear_v also_o in_o this_o hero_n who_o amid_o all_o those_o combat_n in_o which_o he_o be_v very_o active_a receive_v not_o the_o least_o hurt_n prince_n of_o great_a design_n and_o high_a enterprise_n say_v the_o chevalier_n be_v always_o belove_v although_o fortune_n which_o we_o know_v be_v inconstant_a leave_v their_o side_n yet_o glory_n &_o honour_n never_o forsake_v they_o caesar_n be_v of_o this_o number_n he_o have_v nothing_o in_o he_o which_o be_v not_o noble_a and_o which_o savour_v not_o of_o grandeur_n he_o be_v so_o brave_a and_o so_o full_a
discourse_n say_v the_o mareshal_n smile_v like_o very_a well_o such_o subject_n as_o these_o to_o show_v their_o wit_n in_o but_o it_o be_v not_o altogether_o so_o pleasant_a to_o those_o that_o hear_v they_o but_o when_o any_o one_o understand_v well_o that_o which_o he_o aim_v at_o he_o say_v nothing_o that_o be_v impertinent_a and_o his_o reason_n and_o learning_n be_v remarkable_a enough_o now_o to_o return_v to_o our_o ancient_a courtier_n as_o the_o most_o part_n of_o exercise_n be_v only_o proper_a for_o a_o certain_a age_n it_o happen_v that_o those_o who_o have_v addict_v themselves_o only_o to_o they_o when_o their_o youth_n be_v past_a they_o know_v no_o long_a how_o to_o employ_v themselves_o therefore_o i_o will_v not_o wish_v any_o to_o depend_v principal_o on_o such_o exercise_n i_o know_v very_o well_o that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v neglect_v but_o there_o be_v something_o which_o be_v better_o in_o effect_n i_o have_v always_o believe_v that_o one_o shall_v not_o so_o much_o wish_v for_o any_o thing_n as_o for_o wit_n and_o many_o time_n people_n fail_v of_o it_o by_o their_o own_o fault_n and_o i_o be_o now_o more_o of_o that_o opinion_n than_o i_o be_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a not_o to_o have_v it_o if_o one_o be_v bring_v up_o in_o the_o company_n of_o some_o people_n at_o least_o add_v the_o chevalier_n a_o late_a eminent_a philosopher_n hold_v that_o all_o the_o world_n natural_o have_v very_o near_o the_o same_o capacity_n and_o that_o the_o principal_a difference_n proceed_v only_o from_o the_o care_n that_o be_v take_v to_o form_v it_o or_o else_o from_o the_o course_n and_o bend_v that_o people_n take_v of_o themselves_o i_o can_v altogether_o agree_v to_o that_o say_v the_o mareshal_n the_o advantage_n be_v to_o be_v ascribe_v to_o a_o happy_a birth_n in_o the_o first_o place_n and_o be_v afterward_o perfect_v it_o as_o to_o the_o learning_n by_o one_o self_n it_o seldom_o happen_v that_o the_o mind_n without_o some_o help_n take_v the_o best_a course_n to_o do_v it_o and_o i_o wonder_v at_o some_o prince_n who_o be_v nevertheless_o excellent_a man_n although_o in_o their_o youth_n they_o have_v be_v teach_v but_o very_o few_o thing_n the_o most_o part_n of_o those_o who_o be_v about_o they_o fancy_n that_o it_o be_v not_o good_a to_o proceed_v too_o hasty_o and_o that_o it_o may_v prejudice_v their_o health_n which_o i_o shall_v like_v well_o enough_o provide_v that_o there_o be_v regard_n have_v to_o the_o consequence_n and_o that_o they_o consider_v how_o dangerous_a it_o may_v be_v to_o accustom_v a_o young_a prince_n to_o be_v without_o wit._n wherefore_o they_o must_v endeavour_v to_o instruct_v he_o in_o a_o pleasant_a way_n and_o be_v always_o teach_v he_o something_o without_o tire_v he_o but_o to_o return_v to_o those_o prince_n who_o be_v the_o most_o admire_a and_o who_o have_v form_v and_o instruct_v themselves_o i_o do_v not_o see_v that_o we_o can_v establish_v any_o maxim_n upon_o so_o few_o example_n neither_o be_o i_o of_o the_o opinion_n say_v the_o chevalier_n that_o any_o one_o shall_v rely_v upon_o it_o and_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o sure_a way_n to_o accomplish_v one_o self_n be_v to_o have_v recourse_n to_o well-bred_a person_n as_o the_o voice_n improve_v by_o sing_v and_o one_o learn_v how_o to_o order_v it_o with_o skill_n by_o practise_v under_o a_o good_a master_n so_o wit_n insinuate_v and_o communicate_v itself_o insensible_o among_o person_n who_o true_o have_v it_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o it_o may_v be_v acquire_v if_o a_o able_a man_n set_v about_o it_o it_o shall_v therefore_o be_v my_o advice_n continue_v the_o chevalier_n that_o those_o who_o have_v wit_n and_o be_v well-bred_a man_n be_v not_o only_o well_o receive_v by_o this_o prince_n but_o likewise_o that_o care_n be_v take_v to_o find_v they_o out_o and_o draw_v they_o thither_o for_o common_o they_o be_v not_o trader_n nor_o forward_o to_o show_v themselves_o they_o know_v how_o to_o content_v themselves_o with_o their_o own_o fortune_n and_o beside_o that_o they_o be_v so_o rare_o meet_v with_o that_o those_o who_o understand_v they_o well_o need_v not_o fear_v to_o be_v trouble_v with_o too_o many_o of_o they_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v that_o i_o ever_o in_o my_o life_n see_v so_o great_a a_o number_n of_o they_o at_o one_o time_n but_o i_o can_v have_v wish_v they_o more_o this_o sort_n of_o people_n always_o say_v something_o that_o please_v and_o never_o do_v any_o thing_n which_o have_v not_o some_o mark_n of_o worth_n and_o breed_n and_o by_o converse_v with_o and_o observe_v they_o we_o not_o only_o inform_v ourselves_o of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v know_v for_o the_o make_n of_o a_o accomplish_a man_n but_o also_o we_o learn_v how_o to_o apply_v they_o and_o likewise_o so_o far_o as_o to_o know_v when_o it_o be_v proper_a and_o mannerly_a to_o be_v silent_a yet_o we_o see_v such_o person_n sometime_o without_o take_v notice_n of_o this_o worth_n in_o they_o they_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o best_a artist_n who_o be_v less_o forward_a than_o the_o other_o and_o that_o proceed_v not_o so_o much_o from_o a_o laziness_n or_o negligence_n in_o they_o as_o from_o a_o certain_a aversion_n which_o the_o most_o part_n of_o well-bred_a person_n have_v to_o set_v a_o value_n upon_o themselves_o when_o i_o chance_v to_o meet_v with_o any_o such_o person_n i_o know_v how_o to_o distinguish_v they_o and_o though_o i_o hear_v very_o good_a thing_n come_v

and_o study_n i_o acknowledge_v that_o say_v the_o chevalier_n and_o indeed_o one_o can_v have_v too_o much_o of_o either_o of_o they_o but_o we_o must_v make_v it_o our_o principal_a business_n to_o
