And this power of Speech over the Minds of men is by the Poet, in that knowne passage of his thus elegantly described:
—Magn• in popule cum sapè Coorta est1 Seditio, savitque Animus Ignobile vulgus Jan• que faces & Saxa volant, furor arma ministrat. Tum pietate gravem, ac merit is si fortè virunquem Conspêxere, silent, arrectisque auribus astant: Ille regit dictis Animus & pectora dulcet. When in a Multitude Seditions grow, And Ulcerated Minds do overflow With swelling Ire▪ when stones & firebrands fly, (As Rage doth every where weapons supply) Then if some Aged man, in Honour held For Piety, and Prudence, stand to wield, And moderate this Tumult: strait ways all Rise up with silent Reverence, and let fall Their Angry Clamours; His grave words do sway Their Minds, and all their Discontents allay.
