CHAP. LVI

DEmean thy self in the presence of thy Prince with reverence and chearfulness: That, without this, is too much sadness; This without that is too much boldness: Let thy wisdom endeavour to gain his opinion, and la∣bour to make thy loyalty his confiden∣ce: Let him not find thee false in words, unjust in thy actions, unseasonable in thy suits, nor careless in his service: cross not his passion, question not his pleasures, Press not into his Secrets; Pry not into his Prerogative: Displease him not, lest he be angry; appear not displeas'd, lest he be jealous: the an∣ger of a King is implacable: the jealou∣sie of a Prince is incurable.
