Though The Desire Of Fame Be The

Pleasures Of Worse Natures Are Gladly Entertained, And They That Shun Us Practice In Private Sports The Stews Would Blush At.

What Can Innocence Hope For, When Such As Sit Her Judges Are Corrupted!

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

Nor Custom, Nor Example, Nor Cast Numbers Of Such As Do Offend, Make Less The Sin.

Virtue, Thou In Rags, May Challenge More Than Vice Set Off With All The Trim Of Greatness.
