XEnophon writes, that even the Gods above,Delight with men, in Friendships Orb to move.
Xerxes, from a steep Mountains lofty Brow,Survey'd his hundred thousand Men below;And wept, to think that in an Age they AllBy the impartial hand of Death must fall.But, after this vast Army did Engage,Few dayes dispatch'd the Business of an Age.
Xenocrates did prudently divide,Into proportionable parts, each day;VVhich parts particularly, he apply'd;And One, wherein to study what to sayHe did assign; which gives us information,VVisely to use mature Premeditation.
