 | The Memorable Maske of the two Honorable Houses or Inns of Court ; the Middle Temple, and Lyncolns Inne |  |
The aplicable argument of the Maske.
Honor, is so much respected, and ador'd; that shee hath a Temple erected to her, like a Goddesse; a Virgine Priest consecrated to her (which is Eunomia, or Lawe; since none should dare accesse to Honor, but by Vertue; of which Lawe being the rule, must needes be a chiefe) and a Herrald (call'd Phemis, or Fame) to proclame her institutions, and commandements. To amplefie yet more the diuine graces of this Goddesse; Plutus, (or Riches) being by Aristophanes, Lucian. &c. presented naturally blind, deformd, and dull witted; is here by his loue of Honor, made see, made sightly, made ingenious; made liberall: And all this conuerted and consecrate to the most worthy celebration of these sacred Nuptialls; all issning (to conclude the necessary application) from an honorable Temple. &c.
Non est certa fides, quam non Iniuria versat.—Fallit portus & ipse fidem.
