_Plato_ also, that diuine Philosopher, hath many Godly medicines agaynst the poyson of vayne pleasure, in many places, but specially in his Epistles to _Dionisius_ the tyrant of Plat. ad // _Sicilie_: yet agaynst those, that will nedes becum Dio. // beastes, with seruyng of _Circes_, the Prophet _Psal._ 32 // _Dauid_, crieth most loude, _Nolite fieri sicut equus et mulus_: and by and by giueth the right medi- cine, the trewe herbe _Moly, In camo & freno maxillas eorum constringe_, that is to say, let Gods grace be the bitte, let Gods feare be the bridle, to stay them from runnyng head- long into vice, and to turne them into the right way agayne. _Psal._ 33. // _Dauid_ in the second Psalme after, giueth the same medicine, but in these plainer wordes, _Diuerte à malo, & fac bonum_. But I am affraide, that ouer many of our trauelers into _Italie_, do not exchewe the way to _Circes_ Court: but go, and ryde, and runne, and flie thether, they make great hast to cum to her: they make great sute to serue her: yea, I could point out some with my finger, that neuer had gone out of England, but onelie to serue _Circes_, in _Italie_. Vanitie and vice, and any licence to ill liuyng in England was counted stale and rude vnto them. And so, beyng Mules and Horses before they went, returned verie Swyne and Asses home agayne: yet euerie where verie Foxes with suttle A trewe // and busie heades; and where they may, verie Picture of // wolues, with cruell malicious hartes. A mer- a knight of // uelous monster, which, for filthines of liuyng, for Circes // dulnes to learning him selfe, for wilinesse in Court. // dealing with others, for malice in hurting without cause, should carie at once in one bodie, the belie of a Swyne, the head of an Asse, the brayne of a Foxe, the wombe of a wolfe. If you thinke, we iudge amisse, and write to sore _the brynging vp of youth._ 229
