But in this middle age time’s dregs sweep around us, and we beneath a heavy load of vice. Genius, virtue, glory now have gone, leaving chance and sloth to rule. Shameful vision this! We must awake or die!

  17. Sonnet to Laura If this should be love, O God, what shakes me? If Love it is, what strange, what rich delight! If Love be kind, why has it fangs to bite? If cruel, why so sweet the barb that rakes me?

  20. Niccollo Machiavelli 1469-1527 The Prince c.1515 …some virtues will lead to a prince’s destruction and some vices will allow him to survive..
