That is, to cherish Prince in their ill: For they must flatter good, and euill too, That vnder Princes all alone will doe. As sweetest vapors couet to the skie: So faith, and dutie after Princes runne; Ill nature neuer canindure a Sunne. Flatterie so like in all to dutie showes, But finelier drest in diligence, and care, As Kings best plea'sd, that most deceiued, are. Harsh spirit hates them, that do not hate with it, Miscensures all the world to seeme seuere; Bindes honestie and truth to haue no wit; These ill-fac'd vertues not of nature be, But peeuishnesse, true honors enemie. A iust, seuere, and vniuersall care Of people, shorne by Princes fauorites, To spies of Tyrannie vnpleasing is; Which euer, like ambitious Adamants, So fast from people draw to Princes States, As in the end they must draw vp their hares. Caine! then take heed of your self e-seeking plot, Engrossing offices, aspiring all; For it offends euen those it toucheth not. Nor is it only this that hazards you; Ill neuer goes alone, if fame say true. Is fame to censure vs that liue aboue, And must sell iustice, if we purchase loue? Fame is the peoples voyce, to tell their griefe, Appealing from inferiors to the chiefe. If falsely you, and Hala, fame abuse; Infamie for nothing men vnwisely chuse: If fame speake truth, which you would not haue knowne, Grieue to deserue, but not to beare your owne. What doe I, that the world can well reproue? Vniustly suffer, or vniustly loue. Suffer I doe; for infamie is there, Where either malice, enuie is, or feare. Loue I confesse I doe; And what is it, But natures taxe, layd vpon good intent, For right, and honor vnto excellent? Reason must iudge of loue, not loue of it; Else shall loue ground of euery mischiefe be: For murther, theft, adultery, and spite, Are but loue of reuenge, and others right. Ah Caine! my heart is rackt with inward griefe, Iustice hath partie there, and so hath loue: They both haue wounds, and yet they both haue life; The one suppressing what the other moues. I will speake plaine: Hala, thou do'st abuse, And stayn'st the Princes line with seruile lust: Wherin proud courage, match'd with guiltinesse, Adds wrong to wrong; and to or'e-build complaint, Affects that greatnesse which makes faults seeme lesse. Caine! weigh thy course:" Ambitions gilded spheres Are like to painted hells, which please the eyes, " Euen while they shew the heart where horror lies. Her gilded Throne built on the ruine is Of Fame, of true Religion, and of Law: The labor's great that all the world must draw. The second place, which with this King you hold, Yeelds feare vnfearfull, greatnesse well secur'd: Who stand, or fall with Kings, stand well assur'd. Where men that wrongfully aspire a Crowne, While they looke vpward euer tumble downe. Besides, thy bloudy plots discouer'd be To worke my death; did not the Powers aboue Restraine both ill mens malice, and their loue.
