In whome in peace th(e) elements all lay
So mixt as none could soueraignty impute;
As all did gouerne, yet all did obey.
His liuely temper was so absolute,
That ’t seemde when heauen his modell first began,
In him it shewd perfection in a man.
Compare Antony’s verdict on Brutus:
His life was gentle, and the elements
So mix’d in him, that Nature might stand up
And say to all the world, “This was a man.”
