[ 802] Cares and Crowns inseparable.
THe Emblem of King Henry the seventh,* 1.1 in all his buildings (in the win∣dows)
was still a Crown in a bush of Thornes, wherefore, or with what histo∣ricall
allusion he did so, is uncertain; but surely it was to imply thus much,
That great places are not free from great cares; that no man knows the weight of a
Scepter but he that swayes it; This made Saul, hide himselfe amongst the stuffe,
when he should have been made a King; Many a sleepless night, many a restless day,* 1.2
and many a busie shift wil their ambition cost them them that affect such places of emi∣nency;
besides, Aulae culmen lubricum, High places are slippery, and as it is easie to fall,
so the ruine is deep, and the recovery difficult.
