This text highlights the benefits of avirtuous and honourable government, showing leaders, both male and female, who adhere to virtue and honourin comparison to leaders who corrupt every essence ofthe concepts. Differences between vir, virtù andvirtus, appear in the numerous examples of leadershipmethods. Corruption ranges from cruel bloody-mindedtyranny and raging hotheadedness, poor leadershipranges from cowardly feebleness to outrightabandonment. This text also addresses the affectthat a leader's chosen methods have on the bodypolitic.
