“A snake worn out with cold a rustic found, And cherished in his breast doth rashly warm; Thankless the snake inflicts a fatal wound, And life restored requites with deadly harm. If badly benefits thou dost intend, Simple of heart and good within thy mind,— No benefits suppose them in their end, But deeds of evil and of evil kind. To serve the thankless is a sinful thing, And wicked they who wilfully give pain; Whatever with free soul of good thou bring, This rightfully thou may’st account true gain.” Footnote 112: _Schiller’s Werke_, band 8, pp. 426–7. “Die Regierung dieser Stadt war in allzu viele Hände vortheilt, und der stürmischen Menge ein viel zu grossen Antheil daran gegeben, als dasz man mit Ruhe hätte überlegen mit Einsieht wählen und mit Festigkeit ausführenkönnen.” Footnote 113: As Whitney describes him (p. 110, l. 27),— “_Augustus_ eeke, that happie most did raigne, The scourge to them, that had his vnkle slaine.” Footnote 114: “His soldiers spying his undaunted spirit, A Talbot! a Talbot! cried out amain, And rush’d into the bowels of the battle.” _1 Henry VI._, act. i. sc. 1, l. 127. Footnote 115: See _Gentleman’s Magazine_, 1778, p. 470; 1821, pt. 1, p. 531; and _Archæologia_, vol. xix. pt. 1, art. x. Also, Blomfield’s _Norfolk_, vol. v. p. 1600. Footnote 116: “But a prince slow for punishments, swift for rewards; To whomsoever he grieves, how often is he forced to be severe.” Footnote 117: “If as often as men sin his thunderbolts he should send, Jupiter, in very brief time, without arms will be.” Footnote 118: “The Heraulte, that proclaims the daie at hande, The Cocke I meane, that wakés vs out of sleepe, On steeple highe, doth like a watchman stande: The gate beneath, a Lion still doth keepe. And why? theise two, did alder time decree, That at the Churche, theire places still should bee. That pastors, shoulde like watchman still be preste, To wake the worlde, that sleepeth in his sinne, And rouse them vp, that longe are rock’d in reste, And shewe the daie of Christe, will straighte beginne: And to foretell, and preache, that light deuine, Euen as the Cocke doth singe, ere daie doth shine. The Lion shewes, they shoulde of courage bee And able to defende, their flocke from foes: If rauening wolfes, to lie in waite they see: They shoulde be stronge, and boulde, with them to close: And so be arm’de with learning, and with life, As they might keepe, their charge, from either strife.” Footnote 119: See also _Ecl._ ix. 29, 36.
