ESSAYS OF FRANCIS BACON Francis Bacon (1561-1626) Of Envy. THERE be none of the affections, which have been noted to fascinate or bewitch, but love and envy. They both have vehement wishes; they frame themselves readily into imaginations and suggestions; and they come easily into the eye, especially upon the present of the objects; which are the points that conduce to fascination, if any such thing there be. ESSAYS OF FRANCIS BACON Francis Bacon (1561-1626) Of Health. THERE is a wisdom in this; beyond the rules of physic: a man’s own observation, what he finds good of, and what he finds hurt of, is the best physic to preserve health.

Snowdrop. It was the middle of winter, when the broad flakes of snow were falling around, that the queen of a country many thousand miles off sat working at her window. The frame of the window was made of fine black ebony, and as she sat looking out upon the snow, she pricked her finger, and three drops of blood fell upon it. ESSAYS OF FRANCIS BACON Francis Bacon (1561-1626) Of Love. THE stage is more beholding to love, than the life of man.
