_Cler._ Good sir, beleeve that no particular torture Can force me from my glad obedience To any thing the high and generall Cause, To match with his whole fabricke, hath ordainde; And know yee all (though farre from all your aymes, 135 Yet worth them all, and all mens endlesse studies) That in this one thing, all the discipline Of manners and of manhood is contain'd:-- A man to joyne himselfe with th'Universe In his maine sway, and make (in all things fit) 140 One with that all, and goe on round as it; Not plucking from the whole his wretched part, And into straites, or into nought revert, Wishing the compleate Universe might be Subject to such a ragge of it as hee; 145 But to consider great Necessitie All things, as well refract as voluntarie, Reduceth to the prime celestiall cause; Which he that yeelds to with a mans applause, And cheeke by cheeke goes, crossing it no breath, 150 But like Gods image followes to the death, That man is truely wise, and every thing (Each cause and every part distinguishing) In nature with enough art understands, And that full glory merits at all hands 155 That doth the whole world at all parts adorne, And appertaines to one celestiall borne. _Exeunt omnes._ LINENOTES: _Exeunt._ Q, Exit. 54 _We're_. Q, We'are. [SCÆNA SECUNDA. _A Room at the Court in Paris._] _Enter Baligny, Renel._ _Baligny._ So foule a scandall never man sustain'd, Which caus'd by th'King is rude and tyrannous: Give me a place, and my Lieutenant make The filler of it! _Renel._ I should never looke For better of him; never trust a man 5 For any justice, that is rapt with pleasure; To order armes well, that makes smockes his ensignes, And his whole governments sayles: you heard of late Hee had the foure and twenty wayes of venerie Done all before him. _Bal._ Twas abhorr'd and beastly. 10 _Ren._ Tis more then natures mightie hand can doe To make one humane and a letcher too. Looke how a wolfe doth like a dogge appeare, So like a friend is an adulterer; Voluptuaries, and these belly-gods, 15 No more true men are then so many toads. A good man happy is a common good; Vile men advanc'd live of the common bloud. _Bal._ Give, and then take, like children! _Ren._ Bounties are As soone repented as they happen rare. 20 _Bal._ What should Kings doe, and men of eminent places, But, as they gather, sow gifts to the graces? And where they have given, rather give againe (Being given for vertue) then, like babes and fooles, Take and repent gifts? why are wealth and power? 25
