Two centvries of epigrammes | ||
Epigram. XVI. Stultorum plena sunt omnia.
Some men compare, and that not much amisseThis lower world, whereon our beeing is,
Vnto a Theater: the Gods stand by,
Behold: we act our parts, depart, and die.
Yet to my seeming in this said compare
As some things iumpe, so some things diff'ring are.
There each man is assign'd a seuerall part,
For to bestirre his stumps, and shew his Art.
One he acts Menedemus raging mad:
Another acts his friend: a third is glad
To entertaine the Cockscombes part, thereby
To make the simpler sort laugh out of crie.
And where there is the most, there is but one.
But here farre otherwise in our societie,
We act the same part all: there's no varietie.
On this vast stage the world, dame Natures schoole,
There's not a man of vs, but playes the foole.
They for a time, in iest, display their madnesse
We still, in serious sooth, in sober sadnesse.
