About the Book

Excerpt: ... valiant that can wisely suffer The worst that man can breathe, and make his wrongs his outsides, to wear them like his raiment, carelessly, And ne'er prefer his injuries to his heart, To bring it into danger. If wrongs be evils, and enforce us kill, What folly 'tis to hazard life for ill! ALCIBIADES. My lord, - FIRST SENATOR. You cannot make gross sins look clear; To revenge is no valour, but to bear. ALCIBIADES. My lords, then, under favour, pardon me, If I speak like a captain. Why do fond men expose themselves to battle, And not endure all threats? sleep upon't, And let the foes quietly cut their throats Without repugnancy? If there be Such valour in the bearing, what make we Abroad? why, then, women are more valiant That stay at home, if bearing carry it, And the ass more captain than the lion, the felon Loaden with irons wiser than the judge, If wisdom be in suffering. O my lords! As you are great, be pitifully good: Who cannot condemn rashness in cold blood? To kill, I grant, is sin's extremest gust; But, in defence, by mercy, 'tis most just. To be in anger is impiety; But who is man that is not angry? Weigh but the crime with this. SECOND SENATOR. You breathe in vain. ALCIBIADES. In vain! his service done At Lacedaemon and Byzantium Were a sufficient briber for his life. FIRST SENATOR. What's that? ALCIBIADES. I say, my lords, has done fair service, And slain in fight many of your enemies. How full of valour did he bear himself In the last conflict, and made plenteous wounds! SECOND SENATOR. He has made too much plenty with 'em; He's a sworn rioter; he has a sin that often Drowns him and takes his valour prisoner; If there were no foes, that were enough To overcome him; in that beastly fury He has been known to commit outrages And cherish factions; 'tis inferr'd to us, His days are foul and his drink dangerous. FIRST SENATOR. He dies. ALCIBIADES. Hard fate! he might have died in war. My lords, if not for any parts in him, - Though his right.
