MAX. 56.
Demean thy self in the pre∣sence of thy Prince, with reve∣rence and chearfulness. That, without this, is too much sad∣ness; this, without that, is too much boldness: Let thy Wis∣dom endeavour to gain his opi∣nion, and labour to make thy Loyalty his Confidence: Let him not find thee false in Words, unjust in thy Acti∣ons, unseasonable in thy Suits, nor careless in his Ser∣vice:
Cross not his passion; Question not his pleasures; Press not into his secrets; Pry not in his prerogative: Dis∣please him not, lest he be an∣gry; appear not displeased, lest he be jealous. The anger of a King is implacable: The Jealousie of a Prince is Incura∣ble.
