The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Hamlet by William Shakespeare: should admit no discourse to your Beautie
Ophe. Could Beautie my Lord, haue better Comerce
then your Honestie?
Ham. I trulie: for the power of Beautie, will sooner
transforme Honestie from what is, to a Bawd, then the
force of Honestie can translate Beautie into his likenesse.
This was sometime a Paradox, but now the time giues it
proofe. I did loue you once
Ophe. Indeed my Lord, you made me beleeue so
Ham. You should not haue beleeued me. For vertue
cannot so innocculate our old stocke, but we shall rellish
Hamlet |
