AMong Perturbations, as there bée some good,* 1.1 and to be desired: so are there others to be shunned & despised: a¦mong which is nombred this Lamenta∣tiō, which we are nowe about to declare. For it is an affectiō altogether vnmeete for a wyse man: whose definicion doeth shewe no lesse: for Cicero describeth it to
be a sorrowfulnesse, shewed by a certaine howling and crying out, for it is so farre from a wyse man, that it is not to be ly∣ked, no, not in lytle children. And although the Poets in their workes doo oftentimes bring notable & valiant men miserably crying & lamenting, by which they seeme but smally to differ frō fooles and mad men (as Homer brings out Bel∣lerophon bayling lyke a shéepe without company,* 1.2 wandering in the Alian fieldes) yet ought not theyr examples to be followed, as those which wyse men laugh at, and haue in contempt.
Lamenta∣tion.
Bellero∣phon.
