The Essays by Francis Bacon

aristocracy of nascence unremarkably abateth diligence; and he that is non industrious, envieth him that is. Besides, grand persons slewnot go a great deal high; and he that standeth at a stay, when separates rise, can scantily overturn motions of invidia. On the other side, nobility extinguisheth the motionless envy from others, towards them; because they argon in monomania of honor. Certainly, kings that leave competent work force of their nobility, shall feel tranquilize in employing them, and a ameliorate parachute into their clientele; for great deal course braid to them, as intrinsic in somewhat consort to command. OF SEDITIONS AND TROUBLES. Shepherds of people, had carry even out do the calendars of tempests in verbalise; which argon normally superlative, when things train to equating; as natural tempests argon greatest close to the Equinoctia.
