But [4530]Pares cum paribus facillime congregantur, 'tis that [4531]similitude of manners, which ties most men in an inseparable link, as if they be addicted to the same studies or disports, they delight in one another's companies, birds of a feather will gather together: if they be of divers inclinations, or opposite in manners, they can seldom agree. BUT PARES CUM PARIBUS FASILE CONGREGANTUR TIS THAT SIMILITUDE OF MANNERS WHICH TIES MOST MEN IN AN INSEPARABLE LENGTH AS IF THEY BE ADDICTED TO THE SAME STUDIES OR DISPORTS THEY DELIGHT IN ONE ANOTHER'S COMPANIES BIRDS OF A FEATHER WILL GATHER TOGETHER IF THEY BE OF DIVERSE INCLINATIONS OR OPPOSITE IN MANNERS THEY CAN SELDOM AGREE
th an imaginary persuasion of a sensual paradise: so several pleasant objects diversely affect diverse men. But the fairest objects and enticings proceed from men themselves, which most frequently captivate, allure, and make them dote beyond all measure upon one another, and that for many respects: first, as some suppose, by that secret force of stars, (quod me tibi temperat astrum?) They do singularly dote on such a man, hate such again, and can give no reason for it. [4527]Non amo te Sabidi, &c. Alexander admired Ephestion, Adrian Antinous, Nero Sporus, &c. The physicians refer this to their temperament, astrologers to trine and sextile aspects, or opposite of their several ascendants, lords of their genitures, love and hatred of planets; [4528] Cicogna, to concord and discord of spirits; but most to outward graces. A merry companion is welcome and acceptable to all men, and therefore, saith [4529]Gomesius, princes and great men entertain jesters and players commonly in their courts. FUTURE JOYS AS TURKS FEED THEMSELVES WITH AN IMAGINARY PERSUASION OF ESSENTIAL PARADISE SO SEVERAL PLEASANT OBJECTS DIVERSELY AFFECT DIVERSE MEN BUT THE FAIREST OBJECTS AND ENTICINGS PROCEED FROM MEN THEMSELVES WHICH MOST FREQUENTLY CAPTIVATE ALLURE AND MAKE THEM DOTE BEYOND ALL MEASURE UPON ONE ANOTHER AND THAT FOR MANY RESPECTS FIRST AS SOME SUPPOSE BY THAT SECRET FORCE OF STARS QUADAMI TIBI TEMPERAT ASTROM THEY DO SINGULARLY DOTE ON SUCH A MAN HATE SUCH AGAIN AND CAN GIVE NO REASON FOR IT NON AMOTE SABIDI ET CETERA ALEXANDER ADMIRED EPHESIAN ADRIA AND ANTONINUS NERO SPORIS ET CETERA THE PHYSICIANS REFER THIS TO THEIR TEMPERAMENT ASTROLOGERS TO TRINE AND SEXTILE ASPECTS OR OPPOSITE OF THEIR SEVERAL ASCENDANTS LORDS OF THEIR JANITORS LOVE AND HATRED OF PLANETS CICONIA TO CONCORD AND DISCORD OF SPIRITS BUT MOST TO OUTWARD GRACES A MERRY COMPANION IS WELCOME AND ACCEPTABLE TO ALL MEN AND THEREFORE SAITH GOMISUS PRINCES AND GREAT MEN ENTERTAIN JESTERS AND PLAYERS COMMONLY IN THEIR COURTS
