<P>_ALTHOVGH DEMADES (right vvor+&s;hipfull) &s;ayde that the lavvs of DRACO vvere for their extreme cruel|tie vvritten vvith bloud, bycau&s;e to all offences vvere thei neuer &s;o &s;mal an equall punny&s;hment vvas appointed, yet &s;ome there vvere vvhich recey|ued a vvorthie punni&s;hment, among&s;t vvhich that lavve by him made, concerning Idlene&s;&s;e, is to be nu~bred, vvhich he puni&s;hed by death, &amp; that vvor|thilie if he dyd re&s;pecte the &s;equele, and the rotten braunches vvhich did &s;pring of that vice, &s;uppo&s;ing thereby to preuent many my&s;chieues and enormi|ties grovving to the co~mon vveale. What ruine and decay it bringeth to the Weale publike tyme doeth not novve require in generall to declare, but thys particular vice Lavvle&s;&s;e lu&s;t, is to be expre&s;&s;ed, the vvhich ary&s;eth and taketh hys begynning of Idle|ne&s;&s;e. For, vvhen the mind is not occupied, then do yll affections po&s;&s;e&s;&s;e it, and the loth&s;ome iu&s;te of Carnall concupi&s;cence entreth therein. THEO|PHRASTVS on a time being demaunded vvhat
<PB REF="4">this luxurious Loue vvas, he aun&s;vvered, that it vvas the affectio~ of an ydle minde. OVID in like ma|ner in his fyr&s;t Elegie or lamentable Song &s;ayeth.</P>
<Q>Et in vacuo pectore regnet Amor.</Q>
<P>There is nothyng vvhich cau&s;eth a ma~ more to de|generate from his kind than this, for it doth make him rather to re&s;emble Bea&s;tes, than creatures en|dovved vvith rea&s;on. Wherfore the Poets not vvith|out a cau&s;e haue painted out &amp; de&s;cribed Loue like a Shephierde, &s;ignifying therby, that vvho&s;o follo|vveth &s;en&s;ualitie, and inordinate de&s;ire of the fle&s;h, are more like bea&s;ts than men, for vvhen rea&s;on ru|leth not affection and appetite, men become like to vnrea&s;onable creatures redy and apt for al vvicked|ne&s;&s;e, embracing vice as a vertue, and folovving en|mitie, &s;trife, fighting, and many other inconueni|ences, vvhich proceede thereof, as things good and auaileable. Who &s;eeth not fooli&s;h Cupid painted blinde, bicau&s;e they vvhich are vvounded vvith hys &s;iery Arrovves liue vvithout feeling of Death, they haue nothing in reuerence, neyther their Fathers, nor friendes, they feare nothing, neither the &s;laun|derous reproch of Infamie, nor the doubtful daun|gers of life, but like blinde me~ runne headlong in|to de&s;truction. The famous Comicall Poet ME|NANDER con&s;idering the afore&s;ayde things, and that by no daunger, adui&s;e and coun&s;ell, luxurious Louers vvoulde be feared from their purpo&s;e, doth iu&s;tly lament and bevvaile it in this Ver&s;e:
<Q><GAP DESC="foreign"></Q>
<PB REF="4"> Which is thus in Engli&s;h.
<Q><HI>Alas, Alas, Loue is to men a great my&s;chiefe.</HI></Q> OVID in his Bookes entituled DEREMEDIO AMORIS, &s;hevveth a meane hovve to auoid this mi&s;crable affection, in tvvo Ver&s;es, vvhich are the&s;e in effect.

<L><HI>His bowe lieth broken, his fire hath no light.</HI></L></Q> CRATES the Thebane &s;ayd that there vvere tvvo thinges princypally vvhych &s;ubdued this affection, time and hunger. Diuers vnlavvefull vvayes there are vvhereby this is purcha&s;ed, vvhych rather pro|uoke to madne&s;&s;e than Loue, as charmed drink cal|led in Latine PHILTRA, AMATORIA PO|CVLA and HIPPOMANES, al vvhich do cau&s;e furie and madne&s;&s;e, not Loue, according to the o|pinio~ of many notable Writers, as of OVID, IV|VENAL, VIRGIL, PROPERTIVS. It is left in vvriting, that LVCRETIVS the Poet vvith a charmed drinke (as &s;ome &s;uppo&s;e) giuen him by his Wife, vvho loued him too tenderly, became &s;o mad, that at length he murdred him&s;elfe vvith hys ovvne hands. ARISTOTLE vvriteth Li. 2. mag. moral. that a certayne Woman gaue a man a char|med drinke, vvherevpon &s;odaynely he fell dovvne dead. Many other lyke examples may be found in Authours, vvhich vvould terrifie &s;uch as enterprize
<PB REF="5">tho&s;e vnlavvfull meanes, fro~ their purpo&s;e. In &s;tead of this vvicked meanes vve ought to v&s;e gentle and milde manners, louing them vvhich loue vs. Wher+fore very vvell doth OVID vvarne vs in hys &s;eco~d Booke DE ARTE AMANDI, &s;peaking of tho&s;e charmed drinkes, vvho&s;e vvordes are the&s;e:
<Q><L><HI>Sit procul omne nefas, vt ameris ama|bilis esto.</HI></L>
<L><HI>Al wicked artes to do not remember.</HI></L>
<L><HI>But loue for loue againe do y^u render.</HI></L></Q> That Hi&s;torie of PLVTARCH in hys preceptes of Mariage, Capit. 24. is not vnfitte for this place. PHILIP king of Macedon, loued a poore The&s;|&s;alian maid, vvherof vvhen OLYMPIAS his vvife vvas aduertized, &s;he toke it very grieuou&s;ly, e&s;peci|ally bicau&s;e the maiden vvas reported to haue got|ten the loue of PHILIP vvith charmed and ma|gical drinkes. Wherfore &s;he commau~ded the may|den to be brought before hir, to the end to impri|&s;on hir, or to banni&s;h hir into farre countreyes. But vvhen &s;he &s;avv the mayde~ to be vvel fauored, beau|tifull, vvittie, and in all poynts amiable and louely, Let fal&s;e accu&s;ation goe (&s;ayde OLYMPIAS) for thou ha&s;t in thy &s;elf the &s;trength of poy&s;on: neither vvas &s;he aftervvarde di&s;plea&s;ed vvith the mayden, or vvith hir husband the King. Gentle manners is the true charmed drynk vvherby the vvoman ought to vvin the husband, and vvhich all &s;hould put in vre. The fruites vvhich &s;pring of hote Loue and fle&s;hly lu&s;t are declared in tho&s;e Tales follovving, murder grevv of it, and the reuengemente of murder com|mitted,
<PB REF="5">enfued the&s;ame. The fatherly affection that SCEDASVS and MELISSVS dyd beare vnto their children, is of all parents to be follovved. The filthie fact of ARCHIAS is vtterly to be abhor|red, &amp; altogether to be rooted out of mens mindes, much le&s;&s;e to be commytted, for it is a thing more than bea&s;tly, and again&s;t nature as PLATO &s;aith. We oughte to take ALGIPPVS as a true paterne and example to imitate, and not (as EPICTETVS &s;ayd) de&s;i&s;t from vvell doing, vvhat&s;oeuer men &s;ay or do, but alvvayes per&s;euer in goodne&s;&s;e, &s;eeking after &s;uch things as are auaileable for the common Weale, in &s;o doing vve liuing &s;hall not onely haue great honor, vvhich (as TVLLIE &s;ayd) is a diuine goodne&s;&s;e, but dying &s;hall merite and obtayne immortall fame, vvhych vvas the marke that anti|quity &s;hotte at, and did couet after death to haue an euerla&s;ting fame for vertuous deedes done, and no|ble enterpri&s;es atchieued, as CICERO, IVLIVS CAESAR, and POMPEIVS did, and not by any vnlavvfull and vvicked meanes, as fooli&s;h HERO|STRATVS dyd, vvho to haue a perpetuall name, burned the famous Te~ple of DIANA at Ephe&s;us.</P>
<P>The&s;e fevve lines (right vvor&s;hipful) I haue tran|&s;lated at ley&s;ure times, vvhich although they &s;eeme &s;carce vvorthie the tran&s;lation, yet I tooke them in hand, &s;uppo&s;ing that to be true vvhich the vvelskil|led PLINIE &s;ayd: There is no Booke &s;o naught but in &s;ome part is profitable. I haue ioyned here|vnto another &s;mall Hy&s;torie and the &s;ayings of the Philo&s;ophers of Greece, de&s;iring you to accept and take them vvith &s;uch gratefulne&s;&s;e of mind as AR|TAXERXES

<P>_THere chaunced on a tyme at <HI>Delphos</HI> a great conten|tion for Honours &s;ake, and omong al other there were two goodly per&s;onages the which &s;hould contend togither for victo|rie, <HI>Cupid</HI> being arbitrator and defen|der, who endeuoured to declare by the&s;e two mightie Champions, which he mat|ched togither, his grete&s;t bickring broil. Such a thing there happened which all <HI>Greece</HI> behelde, and <HI>Amphictiones</HI> were Iudges thereof. After that many things were nobly atchieued, contention in ru~|ning,
<PB REF="17">ga&s;ping in wra&s;ting, fighting w^t the weapons called <HI>Coe&s;tus:</HI>
<NOTE PLACE="marg">Coe&s;tus a vveapo~ v&s;ed among the Greekes, ha|uing plum|mets of Lead hanging at it.</NOTE> &s;mally the Crier made Proclamation that the men in Armes &s;hould procede and come forth. And <HI>Chariclia</HI> being &s;ettled nigh to the place where their valiant faictes &s;houlde be tried, &s;hone like a Starre. She came thither, although vnwilling, bycau&s;e of the Countrey gui&s;e: or rather, hoping &s;omewhere to &s;&eacute;e <HI>Theagenes,</HI> bearing in hir left hand a burning Tortche, and in hir other hande holding out a branch of Palme. And a&s;&s;oone as &s;he was &s;&eacute;ene by and by al the multitude turned to hir. But I knowe not whether any did pre|uent <HI>Theagenes</HI> looke, for a Louer is re|die &amp; quick to &s;&eacute;e that which he de&s;ireth.

<PB N="11" REF="17">faire to &s;&eacute;e and beholde, hauing a &s;toute &s;tomacke, and he alone among the re&s;i|due renoumed, as he &s;&eacute;emed: who in ti|mes pa&s;t had ben coroned at manie gret games, but then had he none, w^t whom he might conte~d: no man (as I &s;uppo&s;e) daring to encounter with him. Where|fore the Iudges called <HI>Amphictiones</HI> &s;ente him away: for the lawe doth not permit to giue &s;entence and iudgement that he &s;hould weare a corone, who hath not entred into the games and won the victorie. He reque&s;ted the Crier to de|nounce, that he challenged who &s;o euer would come. The Iudges co~maunded, the Crier proclamed y^e &s;ome man &s;hould come forth to trie ma&s;tries with him for the games. <HI>Theagenes</HI> &s;ayd to me, this man calleth me. But when I had a&s;ked him howe he &s;poke that. Thus it &s;hall be father, &s;ayd he. No other man in my &s;ight and pre&s;ence &s;hal take away the re|ward &amp; victory out of <HI>Chariclias</HI> hands.

Then h&eacute;e running to <HI>Chariclia,</HI> did of a &s;ette pur|po&s;e fall vpon hir brea&s;t, as though h&eacute;e coulde not refraine and withholde the violence of his cour&s;e, &amp; when he toke a|way y^e Palme branch, it was not vnkno|wen y^e he ki&s;&s;ed the maidens hed. <HI>Thea|genes</HI> hauing won the victorie was co|roned, &amp; declared conquerour, &amp; brought home honorably, with the reioy&s;ing of all men, for the good fortune whiche had hapned vnto him. <HI>Chariclia</HI> truly was quite and cleane conquered, and bond to Loue, more than &s;he was before, when &s;he had &s;&eacute;ene againe <HI>Theagenes.</HI> For y^e mutuall regard and beholding of louers is the remembrance and renuing of af|fection, and &s;ight inflameth the minde, euen as fire which is layde to wood.

<PB REF="31">&s;ware, that he had iniurie &s;hewed him, &s;aying: That faith might be broken by preuenting the oth, and onely to be per|formed willingly with promi&s;e of mind, neither that h&eacute;e coulde commende that minde, which for feare of one more &s;tro~|ger &s;&eacute;emeth to be co~pelled: yet he &s;ware by <HI>Apollo</HI> of <HI>Delphos,</HI> and by <HI>Diana,</HI> &amp; <HI>Venus</HI> hir &s;elfe, that he woulde doe all things as <HI>Chariclia</HI> de&s;ired.
