274 NOTES. 
1605 read times. [27] estates: Perhaps we should read estate; Lat. de 
reipublice navi, [31] stand: i.e. stand firm, keep their position; Lat. 
incolumes permaneant, 
P. 24. [3, 4] howsoever fortune may tax it: Lat. utcunque ee vuinilie 
que a fortuna mulctentur,. [10] Lat. quod non facile se.applicent et accom- 
modent, (16) Ascribed to Epicurus by Seneca, Ep. i.:7. § 11. Quoted 
again in Ess. x. p. 36: ‘It is a poore saying of Epicurus ; Satis magnum 
alter alteri theatrum sumus: as if man, made for the contemplation of 
heaven, and all noble obiects, should doe nothing, but kneele before a 
little idoll, and make himself subiect, though not of the mouth (as beasts 
are) yet of the eye; which was given him for higher purposes.’ . [Ib.] 
not: Omitted in some copies of ed. 1605. [18] Lat. aciem animi, instar 
oculi, [19] Lat. Secunda vero causa est probitas morum et simplicitas, 
[27] Lat. ut illum inflectas, verses, et ad libitum circumagas, [31] the 
custom of the Levant: Lat. mos Orientis. Comp. Her. i. 99. 
P. 25. [3] Prov. xxv. 3. [14] Plutarch, Them. ii. 4; Cimon, ix. 1. 
Quoted again in Ess. xxix. p. 118; ‘The speech of Themistocles the 
Athenian, which was haughtie and arrogant, in taking so much to 
himselfe, had been a grave and wise observation and censure, applied at 
large to others. Desired at a feast to touch a lute, he said; He could 
not fiddle, but yet he could make a small towne, a great citty.’ [20] Lat. 
quibus tamen in communi vita et quotidianis reculis nihil imperitius. [22] 
Comp. Apoph. 196; Plato, Symp. iii. p. 215; Xen. Symp. v. 7. 
Socrates is compared not to ‘the gallipots of apothecaries’ but to the 
images of Silenus, of which Rabelais (Gargantua, prol.) says, ‘ Silenes 
estoyent jadiz petites boytes, telles que voyons de present es bouticques 
des apothecaires; painctes au dessus de figures joyeuses et frivoles.’ 
Mr. Spedding, with great probability, conjectures that Bacon may have 
had this passage in his mind. [24] Lat. que exterius inducebantur simiis, 
ululis, satyrisque. 
P. 26. [3] solemn parasites: Lat. barbatos parasitos. [4] Lucian, De 
Mercede Conductis, 33, 34. [6] Lat. catulum suum Meliteum. [12] Du 
Bartas, Second Jour de la Semaine; 
*Tous ces doctes esprits dont la voix flatteresse, 
Change Hécube en Héléne, et Faustine en Lucresse, 
Qui d’un nain, d’un biatard, d’un archerot sans yeux, 
Font, non un dieutelet, ains le maistre des dieux,’ &c. 
See also Judith, bk. v. [14] modern: The ed. of 1605 has morall, which 
is corrected in the Errata to moderne, the reading of edd. 1629, 1633. 
[Ib.] dedication: ed. 1605 has dedications. It is curious that the 
translator in the De Augmentis followed the uncorrected copy: neque 
vero nimis laudo morem illum receptum libros patronis nuncupandi. [26] 
Aristippus, not Diogenes. See Diog. Laert. Aristip. ii, 69. Comp. 
Apoph. 161.
