Constantijn Huygens

VII. ARt thou banisht from thy owne Country? Thank thy owne folly: Hadst thou choseen ar ight home, thou hadst bin no Exul: Hadst thou commanded thy own Kingdom, all Kingdomes had beene thy owne: The foole is banisht in his own Country. The Wiseman is in his own Country, though banisht: the foole wanders; The Wiseman travels.
