159

Remember that thou art an actor in a play, and of such sort as the Author chooses, whether long or short.

If it be his good pleasure to assign thee the part of a beggar, a ruler, or a simple citizen, thine it is to play it fitly.

For thy business is to act the part assigned thee, well: to choose it, is another's.
