Lady Pleasure, you are the swetest young Lady in the World, and the only delight in life.
O Sir, you give a Wooers sentence, and self-love hath bribed your Judgment: for most speak partially, according to their Affections, and not according to Truth.
Truth is a prating, preaching, tatling, twatling Gossip, and tells many times that which would be better conceal'd.
Truth is the Eye of Knowledge, which brings men out of Igno∣rance: It is the Scale of Justice, the Sword of Execution, the Reward of Me∣rit: It is the Bond of Propriety, and the Seal of Honesty.
Truth is a Tyrant, condemning more than she saves.
She condemns none but Fools, Knaves, Cowards, Irreligious, Licentious, and Vain-glorious persons, to be unworthy, base, false, and wicked.
She condemns Pleasure; for truly there is no such thing as Pleasure.
