The last line is manifestly an alteration of the words of Parmeno in The Eunuch of Terence:—

Quid agas, nisi ut te redimas captum quam queas minimo?—Act I. Sc. 1.

In another play Terence says,—

Facile omnes, cum valemus, recta consilia, ægrotis damus;

Tu si hic sis, aliter censeas.—Andrian XI. 1.

Shakspeare has it,—

Men

Can counsel and give comfort to that grief

Which they themselves not feel; but, tasting it,

Their counsel turns to passion.
