Stop complaining about the troubles of court life. Don't do it in public around others, and don't do it in private to yourself either.
Forbear henceforth to complain of the trouble of a courtly life, either in public before others, or in private by thyself.
You don't have time to read. So what? Don't you have time to train yourself not to harm yourself? To fight against physical pleasures and pains and master them? To look down on honor and glory? And not just to avoid getting angry with people who seem thoughtless and ungrateful toward you, but to still care for them and their well-being?
Thou hast no time nor opportunity to read. What then? Hast thou not time and opportunity to exercise thyself, not to wrong thyself; to strive against all carnal pleasures and pains, and to get the upper hand of them; to contemn honour and vainglory; and not only, not to be angry with them, whom towards thee thou doest find unsensible and unthankful; but also to have a care of them still, and of their welfare?
