[4572]O sweet bands (Seneca exclaims), which so happily combine, that those which are bound by them love their binders, desiring withal much more harder to be bound, and as so many Geryons to be united into one. O SWEET BANDS SENECA EXCLAIMS WHICH SO HAPPILY COMBINE THAT THOSE WHICH ARE BOUND BY THEM LOVE THEIR BINDERS DESIRING WITHAL MUCH MORE HARDER TO BE BOUND AND AS SO MANY GERYONS TO BE UNITED INTO ONE
unum inviserent audirentque, a Gadibus profecti sunt. No beauty leaves such an impression, strikes so deep [4569], or links the souls of men closer than virtue. [4570]Non per deos aut pictor posset, Aut statuarius ullus fingere Talem pulchritudinem qualem virtus habet; no painter, no graver, no carver can express virtue's lustre, or those admirable rays that come from it, those enchanting rays that enamour posterity, those everlasting rays that continue to the world's end. Many, saith Phavorinus, that loved and admired Alcibiades in his youth, knew not, cared not for Alcibiades a man, nunc intuentes quaerebant Alcibiadem; but the beauty of Socrates is still the same; [4571]virtue's lustre never fades, is ever fresh and green, semper viva to all succeeding ages, and a most attractive loadstone, to draw and combine such as are present. For that reason belike, Homer feigns the three Graces to be linked and tied hand in hand, because the hearts of men are so firmly united with such graces.
