"Howbeit, " says Commynes, "he made but little of it; he kepthimself quite solitary, and he seemed to do it from sheer obstinacy morethan anything else. His natural heat was so great that he used to drinkno wine, generally took barley-water in the morning and ate preservedrose-leaves to keep himself cool; but sorrow changed his complexion somuch that he was obliged to drink good strong wine without water, and, tobring the blood back to his heart, burning tow was put into cupping-glasses, and th...ey were applied thus heated to the region of the heart. Such are the passions of those who have never felt adversity, especiallyof proud princes who know not how to discover any remedy. The firstrefuge, in such a case, is to have recourse to God, to consider whetherone have offended Him in aught, and to confess one's misdeeds. Afterthat, what does great good is to converse with some friend, and not beashamed to show one's grief before him, for that lightens and comfortsthe heart; and not at any rate to take the course the duke took ofconcealing himself and keeping himself solitary; he was so terrible tohis own folks that none durst come forward to give him any comfort orcounsel; but all left him to do as he pleased, feeling that, if they madehim any remonstrance, it would be the worse for them.
