EMBLEME X.
Vse iustice still with due regard,
Respect no person nor reward.
The Prouerb saith, a man must neuer passe
Respect no person nor reward.
Nor peize his ballance with vnequall weights;
As once in Rome a happie custome was,
Where equity maintained without sleights,
And iustice was the Monarks looking glasse,
Till auarice possessed their conceits:
Then ciuill discord set their hearts at warre,
And caused each man his owne good to marre.
