Euthym.
MY
good
friend
Theocritus
;
whether
away
so
speedily
?
Theoc.
Know
you
not
what
is
this
day
done
in
that
excellent
Schoole
of
Vertue
and
literature
,
that
most
flourishing
,
and
iust
Consistory
of
Peeres
and
Commons
?
Euthim.
Private
imployments
,
have
made
me
a
meere
stranger
to
publike
affaires
.
Pray
,
what
is
it
?
Theoc.
Know
my
Euthimius
,
that
this
day
the
Iudges
must
undergoe
Judgement
,
those
Conscript
Fathers
whose
purple
we
once
adored
are
now
sicke
of
a
Iudiciall
Feaver
,
by
reason
of
their
corrupt
sentence
given
;
to
the
greivance
of
the
Subiect
,
and
favour
of
their
Prince
.
Euthym.
Alas
!
In
what
a
state
are
we
,
when
Judges
must
render
an
account
of
their
actions
upon
earth
before
Judges
?
Theoc.
Beleeve
mee
Euthymus
,
they
must
;
nor
will
they
escape
the
Gallowes
,
if
they
give
not
very
good
satisfaction
to
that
Honorable
and
grave
assembly
nor
will
they
easily
so
doe
:
For
it
is
generally
said
that
they
were
the
very
fountaine
of
all
the
teares
and
tumults
of
this
languishing
Island
.
Euthym.
Let
them
all
dye
,
if
they
have
abused
the
seate
of
Judgement
;
it
is
much
better
that
one
perish
then
an
vnity
:
a
luxurious
branch
,
then
a
fruitfull
vine
,
some
kinde
of
mercy
is
cruelty
;
by
whose
remisnesse
or
burthen
rather
,
every
diseased
common-wealth
is
afflicted
:
This
have
I
alwaies
said
,
and
this
renowned
Island
hath
found
it
too
true
by
experience
:
to
spare
the
evill
,
is
an
endammagement
to
the
good
.
But
what
are
these
?
Enter
Heraclitus
and
Democritus
.
Theoc.
If
I
should
directly
expresse
their
conditions
,
I
should
shew
you
diverse
gestures
arising
from
the
selfe
same
affection
.
They
are
two
Phylosophers
that
ieere
and
weepe
at
the
passages
of
the
World
.
He
,
Heraclitus
plaies
the
part
of
a
compassionate
man
,
hee
is
〈◊〉
with
teares
,
and
no
sooner
sees
then
sighes
at
the
vanities
of
men
;
But
the
other
,
Democritus
derides
the
age
;
and
scoffeth
mens
generall
folly
;
setting
up
this
Motto
over
his
doore
.
Miserum
me
video
,
&
rideo
;
Infelicem
servideo
,
nue
invideo
I
see
my
owne
miserie
and
laugh
at
it
;
I
see
thy
misery
and
envie
it
not
.
But
many
there
are
who
doe
outwardly
reioyce
,
but
inwardly
sigh
:
they
laugh
and
caroll
with
their
mouthes
,
but
lament
and
condole
with
their
hearts
.
This
may
you
soone
perceive
by
their
enterchange
of
discourse
.
Herach
My
good
Democritus
,
what
is
the
reason
that
thou
laughest
?
Democ.
Because
thou
weepest
;
for
what
canst
thou
finde
in
this
spacious
Theater
of
the
world
,
which
is
worthy
thy
smallest
teare
?
where
servants
are
made
Lords
,
Lords
servants
;
the
Masters
head
is
cut
off
,
the
servant
riseth
up
,
and
〈…〉
into
his
place
wives
bewaile
the
funerall
of
their
〈…〉
teares
and
offering
leape
into
their
graves
;
and
yet
before
one
worme
hath
entred
into
the
winding
sheet
or
before
the
flowers
are
withered
wherewith
the
course
was
garnished
,
they
entertaine
new
affections
and
kindles
new
Herac.
These
things
〈◊〉
teare
from
my
eyes
:
but
what
besides
,
Democritus
?
Democ.
What
besides
dost
thou
aske
?
Get
thee
〈…〉
,
and
thou
shal
every where
finde
the
spectacles
of
derision
.
This
man
is
honored
in
the
sight
of
his
Prince
;
enioyeth
his
delights
,
stretcheth
upon
beds
of
yvory
,
and
is
〈◊〉
with
honours
,
as
with
burthen
;
he
seekes
nothing
,
but
he
acquires
it
,
he
〈…〉
,
but
he
obtaines
it
;
all
men
that
sees
his
estate
admires
him
,
and
esteemes
him
the
happiest
man
upon
the
earth
:
in
the
meane while
one
small
cloud
obsoureth
all
these
false
beames
in
a
day
,
ye
in
a
minute
of
an
houre
,
his
Prime
leaveth
him
,
his
glory
departeth
like
a
dreame
;
and
his
Atlas
who
carried
such
heapes
,
such
mountaines
of
honour
upon
his
shoulders
,
hath
his
exit
with
reproach
;
hah
,
hah
,
hah
.
Yet
no
sooner
hath
this
Hero
suffered
an
inrevocable
fate
;
but
he
is
wisht
alive
againe
by
them
,
who
in
his
life
and
glory
prosecuted
him
with
extremest
violence
:
They
hate
him
alive
;
lament
his
dead
,
and
with
pious
teares
desire
his
restriction
:
but
great
idolls
heads
are
sooner
taken
off
,
then
set
on
againe
.
In
these
times
it
is
is
more
security
to
be
a
foote
then
a
wise
man
;
for
a
wise
mans
head
is
a
subiect
for
the
axe
,
the
foole
keepes
his
upon
his
shoulders
!
will
you
heare
more
?
Herac.
Proceede
,
deare
Democritus
;
these
conceits
are
not
more
pleasant
to
thee
then
my
teares
ate
to
me
.
Democ.
Weepe
child
,
weepe
,
and
that
thou
mayst
seeme
the
more
idle
in
it
,
see
how
parents
live
penuriously
that
they
may
make
their
sonnes
prodigall
the
sooner
;
yet
how
they
make
them selves
deptors
to
nature
that
they
may
riot
the
more
licentiously
:
walke
on
,
into
this
most
stately
Citie
,
looke
about
thee
,
thou
shalt
see
windowes
opened
and
paintd
faces
looking
out
,
inviting
thee
with
their
lookes
.
Thou
shalt
find
althings
saleable
in
Troinovant
;
the
dainty
dames
will
untie
thy
purse
strings
with
a
busse
:
out
goes
the
husband
,
in
comes
the
friend
;
hah
,
hah
,
hah
.
Thou
shalt
finde
some
that
resigne
their
offices
least
they
should
loose
them
;
others
leaving
their
nest
,
that
thy
and
their
young
may
not
perish
,
others
that
abounded
through
rapine
miserably
exhausted
;
others
adorned
with
others
feathers
,
that
have
cast
their
owne
.
Here
thou
shalt
see
Coblers
and
hucksters
that
rise
out
of
old
shooes
and
panniers
,
beating
the
Pulpit
,
and
broaching
new
doctrines
,
as
if
they
were
Regij
Professores
,
and
held
by
the
rable
to
be
most
profound
Divinity
:
yea
,
I
cannot
wash
my
hands
but
me thinkes
I
see
the
soapy
effigies
of
Brunfield
in
the
Bason
:
nor
can
I
goe
downe
into
a
celler
,
but
I
finde
the
lively
statue
of
Master
Abell
;
yea
I
cannot
,
untie
my
shooe
,
but
I
call
to
minde
that
patent
for
Leather
and
deride
it
;
For
men
now
truely
seeme
turned
into
trees
bringing
forth
spatious
branches
,
but
fruits
of
vanity
:
in
a
word
all
the
world
is
full
of
fooles
,
and
ridiculous
in
the
eyes
of
Democritus
.
Herac.
It
is
a
vile
disposition
to
joy
in
the
discommodityes
of
others
.
Democ.
True
;
but
hence
it
is
that
I
laugh
so
much
,
because
all
things
are
cumbred
with
their
owne
discommodity
.
Herac.
In
the
meane while
,
they
become
noxious
unto
them
.
Democ.
And
iustly
,
my
Heraclitus
;
for
who
if
hee
were
wise
would
not
forsake
an
house
of
clay
to
come
unto
an
heavenly
dominion
?
But
these
mad
men
place
their
Elysium
upon
earth
,
little
regarding
the
future
that
they
may
enioy
the
present
.
They
demolish
,
build
up
,
they
provide
cloathes
for
moths
and
edifices
for
the
wind
.
They
no
sooner
perceive
the
hooke
of
honour
,
then
they
greedily
swallow
it
;
that
stickes
in
their
throates
,
and
they
are
worthily
taken
.
Nor
doe
these
things
rage
onely
in
greener
mindes
;
for
although
(
as
saies
that
Sicilian
)
It
is
a
prodigy
for
a
young
man
to
be
old
,
ridiculous
for
an
old
man
to
be
young
;
yet
you
may
see
the
hoary
Elders
of
this
land
,
that
have
a
foot
in
the
grave
,
and
by
their
age
should
have
wisedome
,
or
at
the
least
authority
&
reverence
,
plunged
into
most
haynous
crimes
;
so
that
it
may
truely
be
said
of
them
,
they
grow
as
old
in
vices
as
in
yeares
.
Herac.
You
speake
strangely
.
Democ.
But
very
truly
of
these
old
doges
.
The
wolfe
will
sooner
change
his
haire
then
his
heart
:
the
wooll
will
not
easily
loose
its
first
colour
,
nor
the
vessell
its
first
favour
.
Herac.
But
my
hope
is
that
you
will
finde
none
in
this
whole
Island
so
wickedly
&
wretchedly
doting
,
as
to
preferre
worldly
wealth
before
Elysian
happinesse
.
Democ.
Goe
on
and
proceede
my
doefull
Heraclitus
,
in
your
madnes
,
are
there
not
many
I
pray
of
that
〈◊〉
opinion
that
would
rather
loose
their
pants
in
Paradice
then
in
Paris
.
The
Iudges
can
witnesse
those
venerable
and
conscript
Fathers
,
who
are
this
very
day
in
triall
for
their
lives
.
Herac.
Alas
!
The
Iudges
.
Democ.
I
,
the
Iudges
.
Therefore
let
us
both
goe
thither
:
for
wee
shall
there
heare
many
things
proportionable
to
thy
teares
and
convenient
for
my
laughter
.
Herac.
I
will
goe
very
willingly
;
where
if
I
heare
Iudgement
turned
into
Whi●●●●ed
,
I
shall
with
my
teares
lament
those
unhappie
Fathers
;
yea
I
shall
transforme
my selfe
wholly
into
a
Niche
.
Democ.
Goe
on
foole
,
goe
;
hah
,
hah
,
hah
.
The
whole
world
is
diseased
;
as
many
Monopolies
as
inhabitants
;
hah
,
hah
,
hah
.
Exeunt
.
Theoc.
Let
us
follow
them
,
Euthymius
:
There
is
roome
for
good
stoore
of
company
.
Euthym.
I
scare
,
Theocritus
that
we
shall
not
be
admitted
,
because
we
are
no
members
of
that
Honorable
Assembly
.
Theoc.
Let
not
that
trouble
you
,
there
is
none
that
hath
good
lockes
and
good
cloathes
,
but
hee
shall
have
entrance
I
warrant
you
;
but
who
are
these
?
Enter
Aegon
,
and
Althea
.
Euthym.
They
seeme
to
be
of
the
Country
by
their
simple
discourse
.
Iust
us
listen
to
them
;
for
I
suspect
but
little
cunning
in
their
coates
,
they
will
talke
much
about
matters
of
State
,
and
their
rudenesse
will
procure
us
good
sport
.
Aegon
.
Newes
Althea
,
I
have
a
whole
dicker
of
newes
for
thee
.
Alth.
What
is
that
my
small
friend
.
Aegon
.
I
will
tell
thee
a
secret
,
my
hony
:
we
shal
have
a
trienniall
Parliament
,
every
yeare
.
Alth.
What
is
that
trienniall
?
Doth
it
belong
to
the
keeping
of
sheepe
or
goats
,
stopping
of
gaps
,
or
greasing
of
sheepe
tell
me
pray
?
Aegon
.
Let
that
suffice
,
love
,
that
we
shall
have
this
good
Trienniall
.
As
for
my
part
I
must
needes
confesse
,
I
know
not
whether
Trienniall
be
man
or
woman
.
But
this
I
know
,
that
for
the
report
of
it
in
the
countrey
,
we
past
all
the
night
in
making
bon-fires
and
playing
the
good
fellow
.
Alth.
Fy
,
fy
:
That
Word
doth
very
much
trouble
mee
.
This
husband
of
mine
,
being
sometime
an
Vniversity
man
,
and
now
a
Grasier
,
promised
that
he
would
performe
his
good
will
to
me
every
third
yeare
,
and
I
kindly
gave
him
thankes
,
not
knowing
that
he
would
doe
it
but
once
every
third
yeare
.
Aegon
.
I
am
old
,
what
canst
thou
looke
for
from
mee
?
But
come
let
us
goe
neere
the
Parliament
doore
,
for
there
are
great
businesses
to day
concerning
the
Iudges
.
Alth.
What
shall
they
be
hang'd
.
Aegon
.
I
know
not
,
but
they
are
in
such
danger
,
that
as
they
say
their
breeches
make
buttons
.
Alth.
What
shall
we
doe
there
?
such
matters
are
not
fit
for
us
;
they
are
to
high
for
our
simple
capacities
.
Aegon
.
Let
us
goe
however
;
if
we
heare
nothing
,
wee
'l
devise
something
,
to
make
them
wonder
at
in
the
Countrey
.
Exeunt
.
Theoc.
Let
us
be
as
desirous
to
heare
,
since
all
flock
thither
let
us
hasten
and
ioyne
our selves
to
their
company
.
A
common
evill
should
be
heard
with
common
indignation
.
Euthym.
Goe
on
we
willingly
will
bestow
the
paines
.
The
second
Act
.
The

Euchrifin
Clerke
of

after

the
Iudges
in

manner
make
their
Answer

Enter
the
Ghost
of
Coriolanus
without
an

O
Let
Astrea

sway
In
this
high
Court
.
Thus
doth
he
pray
.
Who
here
once
got
the
laurell
wreath
Now
cut
off
by
untimely
death
.
Give
Iustice
not
forgetting
grace
Bee
not
too
mild
,
nor
to
severe
;
Those
that
deserves
a
Iudges
place
,
Know
how
to
punish
and
to
spare
Oyle
is
not
still
to
be
inful'd
In
greene
wounds
Balsum's
to
be
us'd
.
Let
King
,
and
Kingdome
still
aspire
This
Coriolanus
doth
desire
.
From
whom
the
peoples
direfull
rage
Nor
the
blacke
rod
,
the
axe
,
the
stage
Of
blood
,
nor
the
grime
face
of
death
Could
ever
draw
one
panting
breath
.
See
how
he
lives
in
's
funerall
More
happy
in
a
wretched
fall
;
For
now
he
raignes
beyond
the
skie
with
Demigods
in
company
.
"
Farewell
all
that

Death
is

my
rest

What
prodigyes
appeares
within
this
place
;
Yet
full
of
pious
admonitions
.
which
with
on
voice
,
one
vote
,
one
hand
,
one
motion
We
all
will
execute
—
but
these
things
passe
from

you

Who
shall

first
?
Primach.
Let
them
be
brought
in
order
,
as
they
gave
in
their
answers
.
Ignorance
of
order
confoundeth
the
forme
of
Iustice

wherefore
let
us
first
begin
with
the
first
;
proceeding
from
the
Iunior
to
the
senior
Iudges
as
they
have
particularly
offended
,
let
them
particularly
receive
their
triall
.
They
shall
finde
us
farre
more
attentive
and
upright
Iudges
,

they
have
shewed
themselves
in

Clau.
I
confesse
I
have
been
somewhat
erroneous
in
mine
office
;
but
all
men
know
I
have
continued
in
it
but
a
short
time
:
wherefore
as
my
impeachments
are
the
fewer
,
so
I
hope
your
censure
wil
be
the
more
propitious
.
Cambr.
This

little
to
your
defence

for
if
you
had
been
in
it
longer
,
and
governed
that
seat
it
is
probable
,
your
offences
had
beene
multiplyed
,
it
was
your
generall
crime
,
and
you
must
expect
a
generall
punishment
.

Thou

1637.
thou

Manil.
O
Cratippus
,
breake
not
thy
silence
,
hold
thy
peace
desist
and
blush
.
Nor
would
any
thing
have
become
you
better
if
you
had
done
so
alwayes
:
but
a
pious
blush
is
an
unwonted
punishment
for
such
offenders
,
we
have
heard
that
you
were
ever
addicted
to
sordid
lucre
,
pinching
your selfe
to
augment
you
gaine
.
No
uniust
occasion
of
getting
could
passe
you
,
wherefore
there
is
no
reason
you
should
passe
unpunisht
.
For
whom
have
you
in
this
company
,
whom
in
this
honoured
round
that
will
rise
up
in
your
defence
and
vindicate
your
uniustice
?
on
or
none
,
you
had
one
but
much
unlike
you
,
your
brother
Hortensius
,
vvho
religiously
sate
vvith
you
on
the
same
bench
,
but
differed
from
your
affections
;
for
his
opinion
in
this
case
of
Ship-mony
was
consonant
to
Curvus
,
Acililius
.
These
two
respected
not
Writs
of
ease
,
nor
the
thundring
threats
of
that
fugative
Chrysomitris
,
they
preferred
the
odour
of
a
good
name
before
titles
of
honour
,
which
glory
of
fame
he
that
neglecteth
,
is
most
cruell
:
wherefore
although
Hortensius
be
now
dead
,
he
hath
left
such
a
memory
to
posterity
,
that
monuments
of
marble
,
brasse
,
and
Ivory
will
sooner
decay
then
his
renowne
amongst
his
Countrymen
.
Cratip.
I
deny
not
but
that
I
am
guilty
,
and
desire
the
favour
of
this
high
Court

otherwise
as
our
sentence
was
alike
,
let
one
boat
carry
us
away

speake

but
am
hindered
with

Democ.
In
reason
they
should
possesse
all
Anticyra
,
our
Ancesters
judged
a
litle
house
to
be
a
common-weale

but
these
have
contracted
the
whole
common-weale
into
their
owne
house

yea
a
litle
corner
of
their

.
Herac.
O
the
deplorable
misery
of
wretched

Democ.
These
things
deserve
not
a
teare
;
I
willingly
permit
them
to
be
mad
:
for
see
how
deservedly
Cratippus
is
punished
;
he
hath
sold
his
tongue
so
long
for
mony
,
that
he
hath
not
enough
left
to
aske
pardon
for
his
life
;

Call
Corticeus
to

hold

thou
art
indited

the
name
of
Corticeus
,
for
that
in
Hillarie
Terme
,
Anno
Dom.
1637.
thou
didst
contrary
to
the
peace
of
the
Commonweale
,
the
liberty
of
the
subiect
,
and
the
testimony
of
thine
owne
conscience
,
not
having
God
before
thine
eyes
,
trayterously
,
maliciously
,
and
wickedly
given
sentence
for
Shipmony
to
be
payd
unto
the
King
without
evident
necessity
,
whereof
he
had
sole
power
to
Iudge

speake
Corticeus

art

guilty

what
thou
standest
indited
.
Cortic.
Not
guilty

Clerk

Thou
art
found
guilty
,
helpe
thee

Camb.
Wee
have
much
to
say
unto
you
Corticeus
:
you
have
eloquence
sufficient
,
but
wisedome
too
little
.
There
was
no
man
more
readier
to
speake
law
,
yea
to
wrest
it
,
and
like
a
nose
of
waxe
compose
it
to
any
forme
.
But
what
availe
these
naturall
parts
,
this
happinesse
of
wit
and
genius
?
It
is
difficult
to
swim
at
first
without
helpe
:
you
began
to
fly
abroad
like
an
unfledg'd
Lapwing
with
your
shell
upon
your
head
,
In
your
Circuit
especially
in
the
Dutchey
of
Lancaster
,
at
which
time
that
worthy
Gentleman
Master
Farringdon
was
Sheriffe
,
you
exercised
your
tyrany
,
shewing
,
your
loftinesse
in
all
places
,
to
your
no
small
hatred
for
other
sins
waite
upon
evill
workes
that
they
may
be
done
:
but
pride
waiteth
on
good
workes
that
they
perish
.
Hee
that
flowed
with
a
thousand
vertues
,
lost
his
happinesse
through
arrogance
,
other
vices
by
the
presence
of
God
,
only
Pride
opposeth
it selfe
against
him
.
Yea
,
with
what
audaciousnesse
and
insolence
did
you
maintaine
this
exploded
case
of
Ship-mony
,
as
if
you
onely
had
the
Monopoly
of
wit
and
reason
?
wherefore
as
every
one
shewes
himselfe
more
obstinate
in
a
crime
,
the
more
severely
is
he
to
bee
censured
.
If
Schisme
deserve
punishment
,
Heresy
merits
hell
.
Cortic.
I
call
Heaven
to
witnesse
,
I
should
have
lived
and
dyed
in
that
opinion
were
I
not
contradicted
by
the
Authority
of
this
grave
consistorie
,
for
wee
reade
so
many
bookes
,
collections
,
statutes
and
Annals
that
if
we
were
licensed
to
argue
,
we
could
support
this
our
opinion
with
good
reasons
and
conclusions
.
Camb.
Give
place
;
we
have
already
examined
your
reasons
and
arguments
.
Democ.
Of
what
use
I
marvell

is
eloquence
,
when
a

shall
end
his

in
a
string
?
Clar.
Ho
Porter
,
where
is
Vigetius
?
Rod.
We
have
no
such
man
.
Prim.
But
such
an
one
we
had
,
who
easily
assenting
to
his
brother
Corticeus
opinion
,
never
did
sticke
unto
him
in
any
thing
,
but
in
this
sentence
of
Shipmony
.
Hee
alwaies
faigned
himselfe
not
well
if
hee
were
to
make
an
argument
.
And
when
he
entred
into
it
(
having
lost
his
reasons
very
happily
in
the
street
)
no
man
ever
offended
with
greater
brevity
:
and
in
this
onely
he
hath
shewen
himselfe
wise
,
that
he
hath
prevented
our
censure
by
death
.
Wherefore
it
may
be
said
Vigetius
his
Ghost
with
a
weake
gesture
appeareth
and
vanisheth
.
of
him
that
hee
was
once
Greene
,
and
Flourished
,
he
was
descended
from
an
ancient
house
,
and
for
this
was
to
be
commended
that
he
sought
rather
to
keepe
his
ancient
Patrimony
then
to
encrease
it
.
Democ.
Many

themselves
wiser
by
dying
then
by

In

let

bring

to
the

hold

:
Trivius

Thou
art
indited
by
the
name
of

,
that
in
Michaelmas
Terme
1638.
thou
diddest
contrary
to
the

of

,
the

of

,
and
the

of
thine
owne

,
not
having
the
feare
of
God
before
thy
eyes
,
traitorously
,
maliciously
,
and
wickedly
give
sentence
for
Ship-money
payable
to
the
King
without
evident
necessity
,
whereof
hee
himselfe
was
the
sole
Iudge
.
Speake
Trivius

art
thou
guilty
of
the
crime
for
which
thou
standest
endited
?
Manil.
Why
are
you
silent
,
will
you
be
prest
?
Democ.
Hee
hath
prest
many
a
rich
widow
,
what
if
he
be
now
prest
himselfe
:
hah
,
hah

hah
.
Trivi.
I
have
litle
for
the
present
to
say
in
my
defence
.
Manil.
Nor
ever
will
you
have
more
;
be
silent
and
heare
:
This
is
a
man
whom
no
Lawyer
exceeded
in
riches
,
yet
non
is
more
ignorant
in
the
lawes
;
hee
is
brought
at
last
into
publike
,
to
make
himselfe
a
Synonoma
to
his
name
.
For
although
there
is
no
contending
with
Ghosts
,
yet
we
determine
to
portrait
this
snake
,
and
deliniate
this
prodigy
of
men
in
his
right
colours
,
and
with
such
brevity
as
may
be
least
irkesome
to
the
hearers
.
Democ.
Let
us
stand
up
and
see
their
painted
Gorgons
head

Man.
This
Trivius
a
true
triviall
Trivius
,
a
man
satiated
with
widowes
,
but
widowed
of
goodnesse
,
of
of
a
strong
&
sinewy
body
rather
then
a
witty
and
ingenuous
heart
,
having
good
successe
in
his
suits
sucked
more
marrow
from
other
mens
relicts
,
then
ever
hee
received
by
the
poore
practise
of
his
profession
.
Hee
speakes
much
with
litle
discretion
,
and
having
his
braines
in
his
tongue
,
will
utter
an
ocean
of
words
without
the
least
drop
of
reason
.
Trib.
You
have
painted
me
to
an
haire
,
worthy
Manilius
,
I
confesse
I
am
altogether
ignorant
of
the
lawes
,
and
as
blinde
men
are
wont
to
doe
,
I
easily
subscribed
to
the
opinion
and
iudgement
of
my
brothers
:
wherefore
my
ignorance
desires
pardon
,
and
cries
that
you
should
spare
him
whom
God
will
spare
as
being
an
INNOCENT
.
Manil.
You
devised
a
redier
answer
for
me
Trivius
then
any
defence
for
your selfe
:
ignorance
excuseth
a
tanto
,
not
a
toto
:
you
had
a
good
example
before
,
namely
Antrivius
deceased
,
&
sleeping
in
peace
,
who
as
his
pen
witnesses
being
sicke
on
his
bed
,
would
assent
to
no
such
opinion
.
But
you
adoring
your
money
not
only
in
the
Image
,
but
in
the
rust
;
preferred
your
drosse
before
your
peace
of
conscience
,
wherefore
as
you
have
milkt
your
widowes
,
so
let
the
exchequer
milke
you
of
all
that
you
have
.
Democ.
Very
good
!
the
Goate
must
now
be
milkt
.
This
Ignoramus
paies
the
price
of
his
Ignorance
,
one
day
takes
away
what
many
yeares
have
gathered
;
and
the
exchequer
draines
the
fortunes
of
so
many
wives
,
hah

Humaine

Let

bee
taken
away

close

and
Roderigo
keepe

close

lest
by
his
stolen

procure

Prim.
To
speake
of
you
most
honoured
Curvus
Acilius
,
your
constancy
and
integrity
hath
with
a
beame
of
the
Sunne
described
you
a
father
of
your
country
,
the
starre
of
the
Court
,
and
a
true
Son
of
justice
,
and
have
left
you
a
memory
to
posterity
which
shall
never
be
extinguished
by
the
injury
of
time
or
forgetfulnesse
:
for
you
have
utterly
conquered
all
envy
,
and
in
this
last
date
of
your
age
have
erected
a
statue
in
the
Courts
of
the
living
,
whereunto
no
better
Epitaph
can
be
added
,
then
Sacred
to
the
memory
of
Curvus
Acilius
.
Democ.
O
how
much
doth
this
Trivius
differ
from
Acilius
?
the
one
as
hee
singularly
knew
the
lawes
,
so
he
rightly
despensed
them
,
the
other
neither
dispensed
them
nor
knew
them
.
Herac.
In
this
negligent
and
retchlesse
age
,
vices
like
grasse
in
pits
are
wont
to
spring
out
mens
lazinesse
from
whence
wee
finde
it
true
,
that
evills
are
much
more
incurable
in
the
old
then
in
the
young
.
Democ.
Yet
if
old
men
would
more
diligently
measure
their
houre
as
much
as
they
are
nearer
death
,
they
should
live
more
uprightly
.
But
now
there
is
such
corruption
of
life
,
that
men
doe
never
more
love
the
earth
,
then
when
thy
should
leave
it
;
never
lesse
regard
heaven
,
then
when
they
should
goe
thither
:
Hold
my

with

He

for
although

were
a
very
subtile
Lawyer

in
his
cunning

intricate

himselfe
a

wavering

wavering

whom
to

yet
the
more
severely
was
he
to
be
punished
because
hee
was
so
industrious
to
dissemble
and
corrupt
the
truth
.
Democ.
But
the
fates
have
taken
him
out
of
your

and
by
dying

he
prevented

untimely

Thou

he
was
a
man
of
such
unstained
life
,
that
hee
shewed
himselfe
truly
worthy

wherefore
the

of
so
his
iust

upright

Ghost
with
an
amiable

appeareth
&
vanisheth

a

is
to
bee
lamented

for
he
deservedly
got
the

a

in

he
might
glory
more
then
in

Hee
Conquered

He

fierce

way

him

Let

Thou

thou
diddest
contrary
to
the
peace

the

maliciously

I
confesse
I
am
not
altogether
guilty
nor
innocent

for
he
that
will
exactly
scan
over
my
arguments
:
he
shall
finde
me
disagreeing
from
the
opion
of
my
brothers
:
for
I
did
not
possitively
say
that
such
a
revenue
was
due
;
wherefore
as
our
sentence
was
more
moderate
,
so
I
hope
your
censure
will
bee
more
mild
.
Our
arguments
were
defended
and
mained
by
divers
good
circumstances

Let
it
bee
your
goodnesse
to

my

which
long

Prim.
O
Damocles
,
you
cannot
so
escape
;
notwithstanding
your
condition
is
deplorable
:
for
in
many
causes
you
have
got
a
good
report
:
you
never
sold
your
breath
,
and
if
your
clients
cause
were
good
and
honest
,
you
constantly
pleaded
it
;
yea
,
as
we
are
informed
,
you
have
litle
at
home
,
but
wants
and
debts
abroad
;
from
whence
we
esteeme
your
poverty
,
your
iustice
,
these
things
may
perchance
procure
your
mitigation
,
but
no
absolute
freedome
.
Herac.
O
poore
Iudge

will
not
thine
indignity
get
thee
off

Democ.
Hold
your
peace
;
this
foole
deserves
the
greatest
punishment
of
all
;
for
having
flourished
so
many
yeares
amongst
us
,
&
having
so
many
occasions
of
gaine
as
baits
hanging
before
him
,
like
an
ill
cooke
,
he
could
not
so
much
as
lick
his

hah

Camb.
Wee

sufficiently
scoured
this

and
I
feare
we
shall
finde
as
many

in

But
that
wee
may
the
better
clense
these
Augean
stables
,
and
there
may
be
no
roome
for
impudence
or
ignorance
:
as
for
Gliciscus
,
who
held
the
place
of
a
cipher
having
little
learning
and
lesse
law
,
as
hee
was
clocke
keeper
to
the
Iudges
,
so
we
doome
him
to
the
keeping
of
a
clock-hoase
.
Hee
hath
little
understanding

therfore
should
the
more

Does

By
all

bee
ioyned

Ho

sir
Knight
of
the
blacke
rod
,
bring
forth
Chrysomitris
.
Rodo.
He
hath
made
an
escape
.
Manil.
Wither
I
pray
?
Rodo.
He
is
fled
into
another
Countrey
,
and
hath
left
his
nest
lest
he
should
be
taken
in
it
;
and
ever
since
that
time
they
say
he
hath
rousted
in
France
.
Manil.
O
what
madnesse
possessed
him
,
how
lively
doth
that
saving
point
out
Chrysomitris
,
that
evill
counsell
is
still
worse
to
the
Counsellour
.
Rodo.
Leaving
now
his
consultar
dignity
it
is
said
he
followeth
the
warres
,
and
that
lately
upon
an
injury
offered
him
hee
disarmed
his
enemy
,
shewing
himselfe
as
able
a
souldier
as
an
eloquent
Rhetorician
.
Camb.
How
many
excellent
guifts
hath
nature
bestowed
on
him
;
which
if
they
had
beene
seasoned
with
humility
and
grace
,
they
had
made
him
compleatly
famous
.
But
to
proud
men
no
burthen
is
more
dangerous
then
honour
:
they
so
easily
change
their
conditions
,
that
they
wil
not
know
their
friends
and
acquaintance
.
These
tumours
of
the
world
prick
on
their
mindes
with
such
a
strange
kind
of
fury
,
that
they
make
themselves
hated
by
their
familiers
and
others
:
wherefore
an
office
is
best
aquired
by
a
Magistrate
;
nor
is
it
better
bestowed
on
any
then
on
him
who
seekes
it
not
at
all
,
or
very
coldly
.
This
he
well
advised
who
said
:
let
it
bee
given
to
him
that
denies
it
,
and
denyed
to
him
that
excepts
it
.
But
long
let
this
Chrysomitris
nest
in
a
forreigne
nation
before
hee
be
recalled
.
We
have
enough
of
such
saluters
already
:
wee
have
too
tenderly
cherished
such
ominous
birds
;
let
them
leave
our
coasts
and
returne
no
more
least
they
destroy
the
mother
that
nourished
them
.
But
that
wee
may
comprise
all
in
one
,
and
never
did
any
man
shew
himselfe
more
ingratefull
then
this
Chrysomitris
.
For
notwithstanding
his
infinite
engagements
,
he
imputed
his
crimes
unto
his
Prince
;
whereas
a
constant
and
resolute
minde
would
sooner
endured
a
thousand
deaths
,
yea
(
like
that
heroicke
spirit
that
lately
suffered
)
would
with
a
chearefull
looke
retort
the
threats
of
inexorable
fate
,
then
cast
the
least
aspersion
upon
a
Prince
so
well
deserving
.
But
let
him
passe
with
his
eloquence
,
then
whom
never
was
Judge
more
uniust
,
never
a
Lord
keeper
more
corrupt
nor
more
poore
,
no
Soliciter
more
impure
and
more
importunate
:
In
the
meane while
lest
wee
bee
reckoned
in
their
number
who
have
eloquent
tongues
,
but
corrupt
hearts
,
let
us
discourse
of
every
thing
propounded
unto
us
not
so
curiously
as
faithfully
and
discreetly
,
not
so
exactly
as
iustly
and
rightfully
.
Democ.
O
miserable
happinesse
!
splendid
servitude
!
he
hath
lost
his
fame
,

,

and

in
the

O
the

,
apt

But
what
is
he
who
walketh
with
such
stately
and
haughty
gesture
?
Democ.
He
is
one
that
had
an
excellent
opinion
in
the
common-weale
before
had
his
office
;
but
when
he
had
gotten
it
no
man
more
unhappily
lost
it
.
His
advancement
so
much
changed
his
disposition

In
summe
he
was
a
good
Lawer
,
a
bad
Judge

Call

Thou

ship-money

Master
Speaker
I
pray
give
mee
leave
a
litle
,
for
this
Brundunsius
is
more
strictly
to
be
handled
.
This
I
will
confidently
averre
,
that
no
man
hath
deserved
worse
,
of
the
Common-weale
:
when
all
men
esteemed
him
the
maine
defendor
of
Iustice
,
he
expressed
himselfe
her
most
vowed
enimy
,
to
the
reproach
of
his
name
,
and
corruption
of
his
conscience
.
Hee
saw
and
fell
with
open
eyes
:
he
knew
the
right
and
did
the
wrong
;
and
therfore
his
ruine
is
deserved
.
For
if
he
had
beene
ignorant
of
the
lawes
,
as
Trivius
,
he
might
have
had
some
colour
of
excuse
,
but
to
give
sentence
against
the
most
certaine
rule
,
of
his
owne
knowledge
,
O
prodigie
!
Brund.
I
ingeniously
confesse
,
and
no
lesse
desire
best
of
favour
,
that
partly
by
the
threats
,
partly
by
the
flatteries
of
Chrisomitris
,
I
gave
that
unheard
of
sentence
of
ship-money
.
For
Chrysomitris
,
who
as
you
know
had
a
most
fortunate
art
in
the
way
of
perswation
,
told
mee
that
unlesse
I
gave
that
judgement
for
the
King
,
I
should
loose
mine
honour
:
and
suffer
a
writ
of
Ease
to
my
extreme
disgrace
.
Prim.
O
the
follys
of
aged
avarice
!
Should
you
preferre
Writs
of
ease
before
ease
of
Conscience
?
should
you
bee
the
more
prone
,
unto
the
earth
,
by
how
much
you
are
neerer
to
your
ends
?
to
have
one
foot
in
the
grave
,
and
a
mind
coveting
the
world
?
O
if
you
would
consider
how
litle
would
suffice
nature
,
&
of
that
little
,
how
small
a
portion
would
content
old
age
,
your
care
for
earthly
things
would
be
abated
,
and
your
desires
would
be
wholy
fixed
upon
heaven
,
for
you
who
were
so
eminent
in
the
studies
of
the
Law
,
are
most
severely
to
bee
punished
,
especially
having
so
cleare
,
so
excellent
a
mirrour
as
Curvus
Acilius
,
a
man
of
extreme
age
,
but
a
vigourous
minde
,
an
inviolate
conscience
.
Him
you
had
for
an
example
;
but
(
although
your
steps
were
Curva
vestigia
)
refusing
to
follow
Curvus
,
you
have
turned
the
right
into
oblique
,
you
know
you
well
knew
(
to
the
aggravation
of
your
censure
,
those
golden
sentences
of
Periander
,
most
worthy
your
memory
,
that
nothing
must
be
done
for
moneys
sake
,
and
that
favour
is
an
enemy
to
Iudgement
.
For
Iudgement
faileth
where
it
becomes
matter
of
affection
.
Too
much
love
and
too
much
hatred
pervert
the
truth
.
Nor
did
Ioachimus
lately
deceased
deserve
any
lesse
;
but
by
paying
his
debt
to
nature
,
the
destinies
have
made
him
their
perpetuall
debtor
.
For
though
hee
were
intricall
and
knotty
in
his
arguments
,
yet
this
Oedipus
with
his
riddles
,
the
Fates
had
not
prevented
,
had
involved
himselfe
in
a
Gregorian
knot
.
Democ.
Its
shamefull
for
an
old
man
to
play
the
knave
,
hah
,
hah
,
hah
.
Herac.
And
this
for
the
most
part
happens
when
old
men
place
their
happinesse
upon
earth
.
Prim.
But
let
us
withdraw
,
that
with
more
mature
counsell
we
may
proportion
our
sentence
to
every
mans
offence
.
Exeunt

Herac.
Whether
flocke

of

Democ.
Thou
mayst
easily
coniecture
by

they

delicate

,
who
come

to
heare

Alas

heare
these
things
without
teares

Democ.
Thinke
you
all
are
composed
of
your
tendernes
?
you
are
far
out
;
these
are
women
of
a
more
coragious
spirit
:
For
they
can
with
dry
eyes
or
at
lest
counterfeitly
wet
,
bid
farwell
to
their
husbands
iourneying
to
the
nether
world
;
yea
they
can
see
them
laid
in
their
graves
with
a
sower
looke
,
but
a
merry
heart
,
and
before
the
funerall
tapers
are
extinguished
,
entertaine
new
fires
in
their
minds

But
I
wonder
why
they
they
come
here
more
this
day
then
on
any
other
.
Democ.
Know
you
not
the
cause
?
the
former
were
dayes
of
examination
,
but
this
of
finall
judgement
,
&
you
know
women
do
alwaies
love
execution
more
then
iudgement
.
Prisc.
I
will
go
in
,
for
if
Capreolus
the
Courtier
sit
in
the
house
I
am
certaine
hee
will
soone
give
me
entrance
as
I
have
often
given
unto
him

Pish

pish

my
litle

,
my

what
wilt
thou
doe

.
Prisc.
What
will
I
doe
in
the
Court
?
hold
you
peace
Arietus
,
hold
your
peace
Cornelius
:
you
and
I
are
not
friends
if
I
have
not
not
a
standing
in
the
Court
.
Ariet.
In
good
troth
you
shall
not
have
a
standing
with
the
Courtier
in
his
owne
place
.
Prisc.
But
I
have
had
and
will
have
,
my
small
friend
if
you
anger
me
.
Ariet.
God
forbid
my
cony
,
that
such
a
blot
should
bee
cast
upon
my
family
,
such
a
marke
upon
my
forehead
.
Prisc.
Why
so
?
doe
you
thinke
your selfe
the
first
man
of
the
row
.
Ariet.
By
no
meanes
,
yet
I
would
not
willingly
weare
my
night-cap
after
the
new
city
fashion
,
with
broad
eares
,
nor
sleepe
with
my
pillow
stuft
with
shavings
of
horne
.
Prisc.
Let
not
this
trouble
you
,
you
may
sooner
foresee
your
fortune
then
prevent
it
,
if
such
ensignes
be
your
destiny
,
withstand
it
not
;
it
is
vaine
to
strive
against
your
destiny
.
Ariet.
O
headstrong
licentiousnes
!
am
not
I
descended
of
the
Arietarian
stock
,
the
most
ancient
Cornelian
family
of
the
citie
?
Prisc.
What
then
,
there
is
no
family
so
worshipfull
but
it
is
subiect
to
this
fate
.
But
I
pray
what
availe
these
trifles
?
ho
,
Titillus
,
Titillus

Ariet.
What
would
you
have
with
Titillus
,
that
lacivious
Courtier
.
Prisc.
That
I
may
have
entrance
the
sooner
.
Ariet.
It
will
be
hardly
granted
,
in
these
publique
assemblies
there
is
no
place
for
women
.
Prisc.
Why
not
for
women
?
as
if
wee
were
not
capeable
enough
!
they
shall
finde
,
yea
they
know
that
we
are
capable
.
I
will
get
up
where
I
may
better
see
and
heare
.
Ariet.
What
wouldest
thou
see
and
heare
?
whether
my
cony
doth
thy
minde
carry
thee
?
Prisc.
I
greatly
desire
to
see
the
Iudges
,
for
they
say
(
and
I
would
know
the
truth
)
that
they
have
no
more
beard
upon
their
chins
,
then
an
ape
hath
taile
.
Ariet.
They
will
appeare
subtle
enough
without
haire
:
but
they
are
shaven
that
they
may
seeme
the
more
terrible
in
their
places
.
Prisc.
I
like
these
young
men
with
soft
downy
chins
.
I
love
not
these
old
men
whose
haire
is
like
prickly
bristles
,
what
are
these
.
Ariet.
The
Iudges
whom
thou
so
much
longest
to
see
.
Prisc.
Alas
what
cold
husbands
would
they
make
,
they
have
perpetuall
I
sickles
upon
their
beards
.
Areit.
Hold
thy
peace
my
Leveret
;
since
thou
art
come
hither
and
gotten
into
a
place
,
heare
what
will
become
of
them
.
Prisc.
Let
them
be
hang'd
,
it
shall
never
trouble
mee
.
I
scarcely
thinke
they
are
of
the
masculine
gender
.
They
are
neutralls
,
traiterous
beasts
,
enemyes
of
generation
.
Let
them
perish
with
their
Iudgements
.
Ariet.
Holy
my
sweet
duck
,
least
thou
be
noted
.
Prisc.
Pish
,
they
are
blind
and
deafe
,
and
can
neither
see
nor
heare
me
,
they
.
