shouldst hang thyself. First; let it not trouble thee.
For all things both good and evil: come to pass according
to the nature and general condition of the universe,
and within a very little while, all things will be at
an end; no man will be remembered: as now of Africanus
(for example) and Augustus it is already come to pass.
Then secondly; fix thy mind upon the thing itself; look into it,
and remembering thyself, that thou art bound nevertheless
to be a good man, and what it is that thy nature requireth
of thee as thou art a man, be not diverted from what thou
art about, and speak that which seemeth unto thee most just:
only speak it kindly, modestly, and without hypocrisy.
