MAX. 9.

Gaze not on Beauty too much, lest it blast thee, nor too long, lest it blind thee, nor too near, lest it burn thee; if thou like it, it deceives thee; if thou love it, it disturbs thee; if thou lust after it, it destroys thee: If Virtue accompany it, it is the Heart's Paradice; if Vice associate it, it is the Soul's Purgatory: It is the Wise man's Bonfire, and the Fools Furnace.
