    THE HUTH LIBRARY. LIFE AND WORKS OF ROBERT GREENE, M.A. VOL. VIII. GREENES NEUER TOO LATE. AND FRANCESCOS FORTUNES. 1590. What man does good, but he consumes thereby But thou wert loved for good, held high, given show ; Poor virtue loathed for good, obscured, held low : Do good, be pined, be deedless good, disgraced ; Unless we feed on men, we let them fast. Yet Hero with these thoughts her torch did spend : When bees make wax, Nature doth not intend It should be made a torch ; but we, that know The proper virtue of it, make it so. And when 'tis made, we light it : nor did Nature Propose one life to maids ; but each such creature Makes by her soul the best of her true state, Which without love is rude, disconsolate. And wants love's fire to make it mild and bright, Till when, maids are but torches wanting light. Thus 'gainst our grief, not cause of grief, we fight. The right of nought is gleaned, but to delight.

  • 1 GREENE's NEVER TOO LATE Or a Powder of Experience S
    GREENE’S NEVER TOO LATE 1 ________________________________________________________________________ GREENE’S NEVER TOO LATE Or A powder of experience sent to all youthful gentlemen to root out the infectious follies that overreaching conceits foster in the spring-time of their youth. Deciphering in a true English history those particular vanities that with their frosty vapours nip the blossoms of every ripe brain from attaining to his intended perfection. As pleasant as profitable, being a right pumice-stone apt to race out idleness with delight and folly with admonition. Rob. Greene in artibus Magister. Omne tulit punctum. London. Printed by Thomas Orwin for N.L. and John Busby. 1590. GREENE’S NEVER TOO LATE 2 ________________________________________________________________________ To the right worshipful Thomas Burnaby, Esquire, Robert Greene wisheth increase of all honourable virtues. Such (right worshipful) as coveted to deck the temple of Delphos adorned the shrine either with green bays or curious instruments because Apollo did as well patronize music as poetry. When the Troyans sought to pacify the wrath of Pallas, the people’s presents were books and lances to signify her deity as well defended by letters as arms. And they which desired to be in the favour of Alexander brought him either wise philosophers or hardy soldiers, for he sought counsellors like Aristotle and captains like Perdiccas. Seeing then how gifts are the more gratefully accepted by how much the more they fit the humour of the party to whom they are presented, desirous a long time to gratify your worship with something that might signify how in all bounden duty I have for sundry favours been affected to your worship, and finding my ability to be unfit to present you with anything of worth, at last I resolved so far to presume as to trouble your worship with the patronage of this pamphlet, knowing you are such a Maecenas of learning that you will as soon vouch with Augustus a few verses given by a poor Greek as of the Arabian courser presented by Tytinius.

  • A Horse Emergency on the Icy Missouri River
    1 It’s Friday, January 3, 2020. In today’s issue: a horse rescue on the icy Missouri River; new additions to the National Register; laser scanning Robber’s Cave; mystery drones and airships; washing dirt (no, really!); and January events. A horse emergency on the icy Missouri River 2 What was a valuable racehorse doing on the icy Missouri River in January 1882? Men from a local packinghouse mobilized, but could they save the horse before it was swept under the ice? Keep reading. Seven Nebraska Additions to the National Register of Historic Places The National Park Service has approved seven Nebraska properties for listing on the National Register: Hartington’s Downtown Historic District; Grand Island’s 4th Street Commercial Historic 3 District; the Oshkosh water tower; the John C. Kesterson House in Fairbury; the Harry V. Temple House in Lexington; Camp Indianola; and Nebraska School for the Deaf. Read more. History Nebraska is proud to oversee the National Register program in this state. We coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect these important sites. Want to learn about National Register sites near you? Check out our interactive map. Laser scanning Robber’s Cave History Nebraska has funded a first-of-its-kind project to digitally map the engraved walls of Robber’s Cave in Lincoln. A University of Nebraska-Lincoln team has produced a 3-D rendering of the cave’s branching tunnels. 4 “As bits of Robber's Cave history fade to folklore, the thousands of engravings that crowd its Dakota sandstone walls like graffiti are likewise disintegrating, imperceptibly but inevitably, into miniature dunes at the base of the walls.
