KIng Alexander got the name of Great, By vertuous cariage of himselfe in warre. Spurina chose to mangl his faire face, Rather than be seduc'de from vertuous thoughts▪ Hercules, bad vaine pleasure get her gone: And made faire vertue his companion. Xerxes for beastlines was not so blam'd, As Galba for his vertue was renowmd. Thales affirmes, that nothing in the world, For man was meet, but vertuous actions. Cicero saith: That vertue of it selfe Is the sol cause of happie life and death.
