Suyuant vertu en toute qualité.
Qui le fera verra par euidence,
Qu’il pourra viure en grãd tranquillité.”
[86]. The illustration we immediately choose is from Sym. cxxxvii. p. cccxiiii. of Achilles Bocchius, edition Bologna, 1555, with the motto—
“Ars rhetor, triplex movet, ivvat, docet,
Sed Præpotens est veritas divinitvs.
Sic monstra vitior, domat prvdentia.”
Rhetoric’s art threefold, it moves, delights, instructs,
But powerful above all is truth of heaven inspired.
So the monsters of our vices doth wisdom’s self subdue.
