[B]
he that hath wife and children, hath given hostages to fortune; for they are impediment to greater enterprises, either of virtue, or mischief. certainly, the best works, and of greatest merit for the public, have proceeded from the unmarried or childless men; which both in affection , and means, have married and endowed the public. yet it were great reason, that those that have children, should have greatest care of future times; unto which, they know, they must transmit their dearest pledges. some there are , who though they lead a single life, yet their thoughts do end with themselves, and account future times impertinences. nay, there are some other, that account wife and children but as bills of charges. nay more, there are some foolish rich covetous men, that take a pride in having no children, because they may be thought so much the richer. for perhaps, they have hear some talk; such an one is a great rich man; and another except to it; yea, but he hath a great charge of children: as if it were an abatement to his riches. but the most ordinary cause of a single life is liberty; especially in certain self-pleasing and humorous minds, which are so sensible of every restraints, as they will go near to think their girdles and garters to be bonds and shackles. unmarried men are best friends; best masters; best servants; but not always best subjects; for they are light to run away; and almost all fugitives are of that condition. a single life doth well with church men: for charity will hardly water the ground, where it must first fill a pool. it is indifferent for judges and magistrates: for if they be facile, and corrupt, you shall have a servant five times worse than a wife. for soldiers, i find the generals commonly in their hortatives, put men in mind of their wives and children: and i think the despising of marriage amongst the Turks, maketh the vulgar soldier more base. certainly, wife and children are a kind of discipline of humanity: and single men though they be many times more charitable, because their means are less exhaust; yet, on the other side, they are more cruel, and hard hearted(good to make severe inquisitors), because their tenderness is not so oft called upon. grave natures, led by custom, and therefore constant, are commonly loving husbands; as was said of Ulysses; vetulam suam praetulit immortalitati. chaste women are often proud and forward, as presuming upon the merit of their chastity. it is one of the best bonds, both of chastity and obedience, in the wife, if she think her husband wise; which she will never do, if she find him jealous. wives are young men's mistresses; companions for middle age; and old men's nurses. so as a man may have a quarrel to marry, when he will. but yet, he was reputed on of the wise men, that made answer to the question, when a man should marry? a young man not yet, an elder man not at all. it is often seen, that bad husbands have very good wives; whether it be, that it raiseth the price of their husband's kindness, when it comes; or that the wives take a pride in their patience. but this never fails, if the bad husbands were of their own choosing, against their friends' consent; for then, they will be sure to make good their own folly.

看完了，写的满有道理的。但其中的一些古语法是硬加上去的吗？？没有通篇都用，只有第三人称时，还有两三个单词是用古语法的。不过，我现在还在想俄地修斯的那句话。奇怪，我看“ILIAD”和“ODYSSEY”的时候怎么没注意到。

my never falling friends are they
with whom i converse day by day
with them i take delight in weal
and seek relief in woe

个人兴趣！！！三大史诗都看过了，浮士德也看了（没看懂），亚里士多德的《伦理学卷》也看了（但做不到），柏拉图的《理想国》也看了（不相信，太乌托邦了），《佛络绎德全集》看了一半（满喜欢的，因为很实用）。。。。世界名著就不说了，看了太多了。不过雨果的《九三年》还是要推荐一下，是他唯一的一本记实性小说，看了我流眼泪的。
