I speak to thee that art poor and coarsely clad, Do not you think that you are as good men and women as those that are finelier clad? and if you had as good suites and ornaments as they, you should be never a whit inferior to them: have you not these kind of vying buzling thoughts in you? in truth, this is nothing but pride. And you that are richer, do you not count these poor snakes almost nothing? the mud, the scum, three-half-penny creatures, less then dust almost to you, mushrooms, shrubs, verily, these thoughts proclaim you to be monstrous proud, and if you go away with them on either side and find them not, stop them not, blame them not, it is certain this vice hath a strong party in you and in very deed doth over-master you. 'Tis pride of heart we seek for, and 'tis nothing but pride that sets up these bristling thoughts in you.
