“But a prince slow for punishments, swift for rewards;
To whomsoever he grieves, how often is he forced to be severe.”
“If as often as men sin his thunderbolts he should send,
Jupiter, in very brief time, without arms will be.”
“The Heraulte, that proclaims the daie at hande,
The Cocke I meane, that wakés vs out of sleepe,
On steeple highe, doth like a watchman stande:
The gate beneath, a Lion still doth keepe.
