The Good Needs Fear No

True Dignity Is Never Gained By Place, And Never Lost When Honors Are Withdrawn.

Great Men, Till They Have Gained Their Ends, Are Giants In Their Promises, But, Those Obtained, Weak Pigmies In Their Performance. And It Is A Maxim Allowed Among Them, So They May Deceive, They May Swear Anything; For The Queen Of Love, As They Hold Constantly, Does Never Punish, But Smile, At Lovers' Perjuries.

From The King To The Beggar, By Gradation, All Are Servants; And You Must Grant, The Slavery Is Less To Study To Please One, Than Many.

What Can Innocence Hope For, When Such As Sit Her Judges Are Corrupted!

Ambition, In A Private Man Is A Vice, Is In A Prince The Virtue.
