Epigrams. The First Booke. № 23. A counsell not to vse severity, where gentle dealing may prevaile

STrive, never by constraint to crosse his will,
Whose best affection fairely may be had;
The noble mind of man being such, as still
Follow's more heartily, then it is led:
For there was never power, charme, nor Art,
That could without consent, obtaine the heart.
