...so godly, so divine that can vindicate himself; so well composed, but more or less, some time or other, he feels the smart of it.
And from these melancholy dispositions, no man living is free, no Stoic, none so wise, none so happy, none so patient, so generous,
Sapientia non invenitur in terra suaviter viventium [wisdom is not found in those who live at ease].
which they sell to us again, at as great a reckoning as the whole.
and severally improve, sending the same to us back at dear rates, or else make toys and baubles of the tails of them,

All my joys to this are folly, naught so sweet as melancholy.
