But the Cardinal answers all this by saying, that the care of business, and the Title of _Padrone_ are not things given him out of a design to honour him, for they are his perpetual torment, and keep him from rest in the day time, and sleep in the night. _But doth my Cozen_, sayes the Cardinal, _think it little to have been made Prince of a Principality hereditary to his Family_, _to have married a lovely Princess_, _with the enjoyment of all pleasures_, _the applause of the Court_, _and the liberty of living as he pleases_? _are these things to be compared to the weight of a Cardinals employment_, _in whose death all dyes with him_, _and hath not the satisfaction to see himself re-produced in this world_? In these duels of competition is the present Nipotismo perpetually engaged; depriving themselves of the enjoyment of that happiness which their good fortune hath so liberally bestowed upon them. ’Tis true, that these complaints are made but to their neerest friends and confidents. _Don Agostino_, to say true, is much more in the right, then the Cardinal, the Pope being much more oblig’d to advance him then any of them; for he is Son to that _Augusto_, brother of the Pope, who maintain’d the Pope at his expenses in the University, supplying him afterwards with good summes of mony from time to time, without which he had undoubtedly been stopt in his course, and never been able to arrive to that pitch of Grandeur he is now in: Therefore _Don Mario_ is unjust, and _Don Agostino_ very just in his complaints; for the kindness which the Pope receiv’d from his Father, can expect no less then a Noble retribution to the Son, whereas all that the Pope doth for _Don Mario_ and his Son, ’tis out of pure favour, without any desert. These jealousies, however they may be prejudicial to the Popes Family, yet are they very advantagious to the Church; for if they were all agreed, woe would be to _Rome_, and the Church: such would be sucked by them all, like so many Bees; but being divided, they stand in fear of one another, and dare not do unbeseeming actions: for while _Don Mario_ would have all to himself, and leave nothing for his Nephew, and that on the other side, the Nephew would have all for himself, and deprive his Uncle and Cozen of their share, they hinder one another, and _Rome_ and the Church fare the better for it. The second demonstration of singular affection, which the Pope bears to _Don Agostino_, is his Marriage: for as soon as he saw him, he liked him so well, that he resolv’d to match with the greatest fortune of Rome, which was then the Princess _Borghese_, daughter to the Princess of _Rossano_, very rich, and having but one sickly brother, and therefore looked upon as an heiress; but however, her portion was two hundred thousand crowns in mony, besides the hereditary estate, which was in her brothers hands.
