FROM "JUNIUS' LETTERS."

You can no more

Ir is vain therefore to shift the scene. fly from your enemies than from yourself.

Persecuted

abroad you look into your own heart for consolation, and find nothing but reproaches and despair. But, my lord, you may quiet the field of business though not the field of danger, and though you cannot be safe you may cease to be ridiculous. I fear you have listened too long to the advice of those pernicious friends with whose interests you have sordidly united your own, and for whom you have sacrificed everything that ought to be dear to a man of honour. They are still base enough to encourage the follies of your age as they once did the vices of your youth. As little acquainted with the rules of decorum as with the laws of morality they will not suffer you to profit by experience nor even to consult the propriety of a bad character. Even now they tell you that life is no more than a dramatic scene, in which the hero should preserve his consistency to the end, and that as you have lived without virtue you should die without repentance.

IDEM LATINE.

FRUSTRA igitur solum verteris. Inimicos enim non magis quam te ipsum effugere potes. A ceteris vexatus tuum ipse animum consulis, si quid solatii inde capias; illic invenies amissam spem, te ipsum condemnari. At, vir amplissime, a republicâ quidem facessere licet, a periculis non licet; incolumis non potes esse, potes jam non esse ridendus. Video te malis istis amicis, quos turpissimè tibi adscivisti, diutius assentiri; quorum gratiâ omnia quæ optimus quisque magni pendere debet projecisti. Istos verò ne jam quidem pudor deterret, quominus qui adolescentis quondam vitiis, iidem senis nunc imbecillitatibus obtemperent. Homines non modo ab honesto verum etiam a decoro alienissimi, ne usu quidem magistro te uti volunt, ne infamiæ quidem tuæ consulere. Nunc quoque vitam tibi dictitant quasi fabulam esse, in quâ histrionis illud sit suam personam usque ad extremum sustinere, et tibi perfuncto sine virtute vitâ, sine conscientiâ esse moriendum.
