36. How difficult a thing it is, to tread in the pathes of vertue.
The way to vertue's hard, uneasie, bendsAloft, being full of steep, and rugged Alleys;
For never one to a high place ascends,
That alwayes keepes the plaine, and pleasant Valleyes:
And reason in each humane breast ordaines,
That precious things be purchased with paines.
