Epig. 32. It is the greatest Conquest for a Conquerour to Conquer himself, to conquer his Irascible passions, which Alexander could not doe, and his Concupiscible, which Hercules could not do, so vassalized to his IOLE, to him, Dei ira Hercules.
Fortius est qui se quàm qui fortissima vincit.

Lyons, not Lust and Whores could he subdue.
