If you wish to strive for the Joy, you shall do so, though it grieve me sore. It is something from which you are free to retreat and draw back if you wish to work your welfare. IF YOU WISH TO STRIVE FOR THE JOY YOU SHALL DO SO THOUGH IT GRIEVE ME SORE IT IS SOMETHING FROM WHICH YOU ARE FREE TO RETREAT AND DRAW BACK IF YOU WISH TO WORK YOUR WELFARE
n no longer conceal my object. I ask you for 'the Joy' of the Court, for I covet nothing else so much. Grant it to me, whatever it be, if you are in control of it." "In truth, fair friend." the King replies, "I hear you speak great nonsense. This is a very parlous thing, which has caused sorrow to many a worthy man; you yourself will eventually be killed and undone if you will not heed my counsel. But if you were willing to take my word, I should advise you to desist from soliciting so grievous a thing in which you would never succeed. Speak of it no more! Hold your peace! It would be imprudent on your part not to follow my advice. I am not at all surprised that you desire honour and fame; but if I should see you harmed or injured in your body I should be distressed at heart. And know well that I have seen many a man ruined who solicited this joy. They were never any the better for it, but rather did they all die and perish. Before to-morrow's evening come you may expect a like reward. E REFRAINED FROM SPEECH AND NOW CAN NO LONGER CONCEAL MY OBJECT I ASK YOU FOR THE JOY OF THE COURT FOR I COVET NOTHING ELSE SO MUCH GRANT IT TO ME WHATEVER IT BE IF YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF IT IN TRUTH FAIR FRIEND THE KING REPLIES I HEAR YOU SPEAK GREAT NONSENSE THIS IS A VERY PARLOUS THING WHICH HAS CAUSED SORROW TO MANY A WORTHY MAN YOU YOURSELF WILL EVENTUALLY BE KILLED AND UNDONE IF YOU WILL NOT HEED MY COUNSEL BUT IF YOU WERE WILLING TO TAKE MY WORD I SHOULD ADVISE YOU TO DESIST FROM SOLICITING SO GRIEVOUS A THING IN WHICH YOU WOULD NEVER SUCCEED SPEAK OF IT NO MORE HOLD YOUR PEACE IT WOULD BE IMPRUDENT ON YOUR PART NOT TO FOLLOW MY ADVICE I AM NOT AT ALL SURPRISED THAT YOU DESIRE HONOUR AND FAME BUT IF I SHOULD SEE YOU HARMED OR INJURED IN YOUR BODY I SHOULD BE DISTRESSED AT HEART AND KNOW WELL THAT I HAVE SEEN MANY A MAN RUINED WHO SOLICITED THIS JOY THEY WERE NEVER ANY BETTER FOR IT BUT RATHER DID THEY ALL DIE AND PERISH BEFORE TO MORROW'S EVENING COME YOU MAY EXPECT A LIKE REWARD
