19. Divers other passions there be, but they want names: whereof some nevertheless have been by most men observed: for example; from what passion proceedeth it, that men take _pleasure_ to _behold_ from the shore the _danger_ of them that are at sea in a tempest, or in fight, or from a safe castle to behold two armies charge one another in the field? It is certainly, in the whole sum, _joy_; else men would never flock to such a spectacle. Nevertheless there is in it both _joy_ and _grief_: for as there is novelty and remembrance of our own security present, which is _delight_; so there is also _pity_, which is grief; but the delight is so far predominant, that men usually are content in such a case to be spectators of the misery of their friends. [Sidenote: Of magnanimity and pusillanimity.] 20. _Magnanimity_ is no more than _glory_, of the which I have spoken in the first section; but _glory well grounded_ upon certain experience of a power sufficient to attain his end in open manner. And _pusillanimity_ is the _doubt_ of that. Whatsoever therefore is a sign of _vain glory_, the same is also a sign of _pusillanimity_: for sufficient power maketh glory a spur to one’s end. To be _pleased_ or _displeased_ with _fame true_ or _false_, is a _sign_ of that same, because he that relieth on fame hath not his success in his own power. Likewise _art_ and _fallacy_ are signs of pusillanimity, because they depend not upon our own power, but the ignorance of others. Also _proneness_ to _anger_, because it argueth difficulty of proceeding. Also _ostentation_ of _ancestors_, because all men are more inclined to make shew of their own power when they have it, than of another’s. To be at _enmity_ and contention with _inferiors_, is a sign of the same, because it proceedeth from want of power to end the war. To _laugh_ at others, because it is an affectation of glory from other men’s infirmities, and not from any ability of their own. Also _irresolution_, which proceedeth from want of power enough to contemn the little difficulties that make deliberations hard. [Sidenote: A view of the passions represented in a race.] 21. The comparison of the life of man to a race, though it hold not in every part, yet it holdeth so well for this our purpose, that we may thereby both see and remember almost all the passions before mentioned. But this _race_ we must suppose to have no other _goal_, nor other _garland_, but being foremost, and in it:
