I shall tell her, that Lucan saith well, when he calleth 'adversity the element of patience';
'——Gaudet patientia duris:'
That
'Fortunam superat virtus, prudential famam.'
That while weak souls are 'crushed by fortune,' the 'brave mind' maketh the fickle deity afraid of it:
'Fortuna fortes metuit, ignavos permit.'
ELEVENTHLY, That if she take the advice of 'Horace,'
'Fortiaque adversis opponite pectora rebus,'
it will delight her 'hereafter' (as 'Virgil' saith) to 'revoke her past troubles':
'——Forsan & hæc olim meminisse juvabit.'
