Black Detraction Will Find Faults Where They

Ambition, In A Private Man Is A Vice, Is In A Prince The Virtue.

I Had Not To This Time Subsisted, But That I Was Supported By Your Frequent Courtesies And Favours.

Cheerful Looks Make Every Dish A Feast, And It Is That Which Crowns A Welcome.

Detraction's A Bold Monster, And Fears Not To Wound The Fame Of Princes, If It Find But Any Blemish In Their Lives To Work On.
