10430 | A fine sight you must have had; but how did the cities and the men look? |
10430 | After this, need I inform you how he harangued in Armenia, by another Corcyraean orator? |

10430 | Menippus let down from heaven? |
10430 | Need I mention to you their strange opinions concerning the deities? |
10430 | We asked him then what enemies he had, and what the quarrel was about? |
10430 | What are you muttering to yourself, Menippus, talking about the stars, and pretending to measure distances? |
10430 | When I had answered all these,"Pray, Menippus,"said he,"what does mankind really think of me?" |
10430 | and did your cabbages want rain? |

47242 | ''Will we have a fine day?'' |
47242 | ''Yes, what am I to look you at?'' |
47242 | --''But how,''I asked,''and why?'' |
47242 | Adimantus__ Ly._ Said I not well? |
47242 | Again I ask: do you want your sons to conceive an ambition of this sort? |
47242 | Again, when people use edible things not for food but to get dye out of-- the murex- dyers, for instance-- are they not abusing God''s gifts? |
47242 | Ah, Polemon, so you are back at last; are you well? |
47242 | All that is another''s is mine: for can I not open his doors, put his guards to sleep, and walk in unperceived? |
47242 | Am I mad, that I should forget Myrtium, so soon to become the mother of my child? |
47242 | Am I meaner than Xerxes? |
47242 | And as to''set''and''sit,''surely it is the whole difference between transitive and intransitive? |
47242 | And did n''t I put down a solid drachma for you at the feet of Aphrodite''s statue, when it was her feast the other day? |
47242 | And how is your cupbearer going to hand you a thing of that weight, when he has filled it? |
47242 | And how will you like taking it from him? |
47242 | And if Gods are patriotic, shall not men be more so? |
47242 | And if that were all!--but to- day is harvest festival; and where is his present? |
47242 | And it was she made you cry like that, was it? |
47242 | And no wonder; where else could one find such clear sparkling water? |

47242 | And surely it is a very humiliating circumstance that you should be apt to fall ill, just like ordinary people? |
47242 | And what eye would not delight to feed on joys so varied? |
47242 | And what have they been doing to you exactly? |
47242 | And what is the great river that flows so close beneath the walls? |
47242 | And where do I come in? |
47242 | And who are the men, pray, who hold such language? |
47242 | And will the piebald bull yonder[25], from Memphis, explain what use_ he_ has for a temple, an oracle, or a priest? |
47242 | Antipater__ Ar._ Is it well with you, Antipater? |
47242 | Aristaenetus told him he was quite right to come; would he take a chair and sit behind Histiaeus and Dionysodorus? |
47242 | As far as I remember, he said-- but who comes here in such haste? |
47242 | But how died he? |
47242 | But it ca n''t have been a trifle that drove him away: what was it all about? |
47242 | But leaving them out of the case, do you consider that you have good security for the continuance of your health? |
47242 | But perhaps your case is a very different one; is the light so bright that you can not manage to fix your eyes on the dazzling glory of Demosthenes? |
47242 | But there was Antiphon-- son to Menecrates-- and a whole mina; why not him? |
47242 | But what may it be?'' |

47242 | But who are these men? |
47242 | But your father is not dead? |
47242 | But, O King, how had you been the better off, if he had come alive? |

47242 | Cadmus? |
47242 | Can Bacis turn an oracle too, as well as the Sibyl? |

47242 | Could any contrast be greater than that presented by their words and their deeds? |
47242 | Could there be a more timely warning, balanced as it is by the prospect of abundance held out to him that follows the true method of agriculture? |
47242 | Dazzled by gold and costly gems, how should the beholder do justice to the charms of a clear complexion, to neck, and eye, and arm, and finger? |

47242 | Did they tell you how he brought them here, and all their adventures? |
47242 | Did you ever notice his teeth? |
47242 | Did you ever, among all the nations you passed in your flight, meet with a similar case of mental aberration? |

47242 | Do you expect to be eighteen all your life, Musarium? |
47242 | Do you suppose he could not get sheets and shoes, and therefore went as he did? |
47242 | Do you suppose if I wanted to marry I should pass over Demeas''s daughter in favour of Phido''s? |

47242 | Doris__ Myr._ Well, Pamphilus? |
47242 | H. IV_ The Rich to Cronus, Greeting._ Do you really suppose, Sire, that these letters of the poor have gone exclusively to_ your_ address? |
47242 | Had n''t you better see what she is like first? |
47242 | Has he got by? |
47242 | Have we some overweening tyrant, who insults us with his wealth? |
47242 | Have you lost your horns? |
47242 | He laughed:''Why, how will it make things worse for you?'' |
47242 | He took up a man who said,''Yes, I can grapple with that,''meaning that he understood, with''Oh, you are going to throw me, are you? |
47242 | Her Mother__ Mother._ You must be mad, Philinna; what_ was_ the matter with you at the dinner last night? |
47242 | Here Zenothemis woke up and thundered out:''Chrysippus? |
47242 | Here are some specimens: What time do you set out on your travels?--What time? |
47242 | How aggravating!--Indeed? |
47242 | How can we possibly keep the feast( they ask), when we are numb with frost and pinched with hunger? |
47242 | How do we hunt our vermin down? |

47242 | How should I scorn your Muse? |
47242 | How would he have taken it? |
47242 | How would you like it, if the criminal classes were to profit by his lesson in fortitude, and learn to scorn death, and burning, and so on? |
47242 | I dare say, now, she was very cruel and scornful? |
47242 | I embrace and kiss a man like that? |
47242 | I feel compassion for them, and have chosen you from among all the Gods to heal their ills; for who else should heal them?'' |
47242 | I had not brought my sword with me, or you may be sure I should have known what to do with it.--What are you both laughing at? |
47242 | I said;''do you suppose I have kept my picture turned the same way all these years? |
47242 | I should like to know what sort of presents the Bithynian makes you? |
47242 | I should take it kindly of you, sir, if you would tell me whether you_ have_ ever seen Virtue or Fortune or Destiny anywhere? |
47242 | I suppose you have forgotten him? |
47242 | If he were not in love with you, why should he mind your having another lover? |
47242 | If you have not lost a thing, you still have it? |
47242 | Is it a heap? |
47242 | Is it a heap? |
47242 | Is it just a cobweb spun in that jealous little brain of yours? |
47242 | Is it so amusing, Pythias? |
47242 | Is mine weaker? |
47242 | It is useless, of course, to offer gold to the gifted son of Calliope? |
47242 | Let either of them tell me, What is Philosophy? |
47242 | Logic and life, rhetoric and philosophy, popularity and death-- ay, but which? |
47242 | Melia''s distaff golden- bright? |
47242 | More misdeeds of the ignorant herd? |
47242 | Need I enumerate instances? |
47242 | Now begin with telling me what Aristaenetus was giving the banquet for; was it his boy Zeno''s wedding? |
47242 | Now, if a man came to you and said that he had left his wife''s home, would you stand that? |
47242 | Now, if_ you_ will not enlighten me on this subject, who can? |
47242 | Now, what are the facts? |
47242 | Now, what are your feelings when you hear a man deprecating his own merits, and depreciating his friend''s excessive gratitude? |
47242 | Or again, if you hate pleasure and condemn the Epicureans, how comes it that you will do and endure the meanest things for it? |
47242 | Others you may see naked, swimming for their lives; and what was the reef that wrecked them, pray? |
47242 | Pass the cutting off the wretched Paphlagonian''s head, what did you want to spike it on a spear for, and let the blood run down on you? |
47242 | Perhaps you consider that a stiffish dose of hellebore would serve the turn? |
47242 | Perhaps you think it a trifle always to win at dice, and be able to count on the sice when the ace is the best the others can throw? |
47242 | Pray tell me, do you not call extravagance a vice? |
47242 | Purist__ Ly._ Are you the man whose scent is so keen for a blunder, and who is himself blunder- proof? |
47242 | Shall I call evidence? |
47242 | Shall we have another match on the old lines? |
47242 | Shall we try to find the answers? |
47242 | Shall we wait for him here, or do you think I had better go back on board? |
47242 | So I said How d''ye do, and then asked,''Do tell me, Parmenon, how you got on; have you made anything to repay you for all your fighting?'' |
47242 | So- and- so is a tribes- man of mine.--Oh, you are a savage, are you? |
47242 | Somewhere in Greece, of course? |
47242 | Suppose I were to return you evil for evil? |
47242 | Take it at the best; let all endure for ages: what will it profit your senseless clay? |
47242 | The fellow is a boozy.--Oh, Boozy was his mother''s name, was it? |
47242 | The general opinion clearly was that he was an impudent rogue, and various people struck in with what came to hand:''What, Menelaus, art distraught?'' |
47242 | The land is consequently uninhabited; savage, dried up, barren, droughty, how should it support life? |
47242 | The patrimonial income supplies me well enough.--Patrimonial? |
47242 | Thebe''s dark circlet? |
47242 | Then how is Proteus going to draw the line? |
47242 | There was a general laugh; upon which,''You vile scum,''says he,''you laugh, do you, because I invoke our God Heracles as I toast the bride? |
47242 | These are riddles, Archias; you took him alive, and you have him not? |
47242 | They went to law, but were compounded.--You do n''t say they did n''t get apart again? |
47242 | This was how I began to Parmenon:''Did you and your master''s ears burn, Parmenon?'' |
47242 | Three Runaway Slaves.__ Apol._ Father, is this true, about a man''s publicly throwing himself upon a pyre, at the Olympian Games? |
47242 | Used mortals to play draughts in your time? |
47242 | Was it for this that he suffered bondage in Syria? |
47242 | Was that a woman''s voice, reciting Homer? |
47242 | Was there anything to be got by jumping on to a pyre, and being converted to cinders? |
47242 | Welcome, my musical friend: you have not forgotten Heracles, I hope? |
47242 | Well, I suppose there may be fools and empty- headed enthusiasts in India as elsewhere? |
47242 | Well, and who were the guests? |
47242 | Well, do you know what a historian is? |
47242 | Well, now what are we to do? |
47242 | Well, why do n''t you speak? |
47242 | Well? |
47242 | What avail ashes and urns, if I have not Demosthenes? |
47242 | What can we call this but a drunken freak? |
47242 | What do I know about brides, ugly or pretty? |

47242 | What is your opinion of this gentleman? |
47242 | What names am I to say, Philosophy? |
47242 | What orator would not feel that his credit was at stake, and be fired with ambition to surpass himself, rather than be found wanting to his theme? |
47242 | What other end had Heracles? |
47242 | What remains to tell? |
47242 | What say you, friends? |
47242 | What should you say to that? |
47242 | What value can one attach to a man whom one''s nose would identify for one of those minions? |
47242 | What was I to do? |
47242 | What was the good of this multitude of wonderful cups, he wanted to know, when earthenware would serve the purpose? |
47242 | What, make the story public? |
47242 | What, no answer? |
47242 | What, nothing to say for yourself? |
47242 | What, then, I am an interloper too, am I? |
47242 | What, then, should a man of sense do, when he finds one friend''s virtue pitted against another''s truth? |
47242 | What? |
47242 | What_ have_ you done? |
47242 | What_ is_ it all about, Charmides? |
47242 | When some one described his sick servant as undergoing torture, he asked,''What for? |
47242 | Whence, and whither?'' |
47242 | White- armed Harmonia''s bridal?--Ay, but which? |
47242 | Whither, I wonder, goes this mighty host, issuing from Arcadia? |
47242 | Who are to be the first victims? |
47242 | Who dares name the word? |
47242 | Who has been telling you all this? |
47242 | Who knows? |
47242 | Who was it they all compared me to, Chenidas? |
47242 | Why are you crying, child? |
47242 | Why go about with your left hand loaded,--a ring to every finger? |
47242 | Why_ is_ it all? |
47242 | Yes? |
47242 | You do n''t suppose he will remember tears and kisses and vows, with five talents of dowry to distract him? |
47242 | You mean to say you are_ not_ going to be married? |
47242 | You seem like one rapt in contemplation; you are pondering on matters of no light import? |
47242 | You surely find him a more temperate and better man than the other? |
47242 | You would be there, no doubt,--when that old man burnt himself? |
47242 | [ 19] All this your Demosthenes endured, and who knows not what an orator it made of him? |
47242 | _ Ad._ How so? |
47242 | _ Ad._ Who begins? |
47242 | _ Ant._ And he has died on the way? |
47242 | _ Ant._ And it was indeed--? |
47242 | _ Ant._ And what hearing did he give them? |
47242 | _ Ant._ Ay? |
47242 | _ Ant._ Ha? |
47242 | _ Ant._ Ha? |
47242 | _ Ant._ What mean you? |
47242 | _ Ant._ Why took you him not alive? |
47242 | _ Apol._ But what was his object, father? |
47242 | _ Apol._ Oh? |
47242 | _ Ar._ How? |
47242 | _ Ar._ Was it not your charge that we should use no force at first? |

47242 | _ Ch._ Go on slapping me? |
47242 | _ Ch._ Is that the only way to tell? |
47242 | _ Che._ Shall I tell her you lied to make her think you a fine fellow? |

47242 | _ Co._ Is the man mad? |
47242 | _ Cro._ That conceited shepherd[11]? |
47242 | _ Cy._ A man''s sufficiency is that which meets his necessities; will that do? |
47242 | _ Cy._ And do you think my feet walk worse than yours, or than the average man''s? |
47242 | _ Cy._ And economy a virtue? |
47242 | _ Cy._ And want occurs when the supply falls short of necessity-- does not meet the need? |
47242 | _ Cy._ But now, pray, what is the purpose of the protection, in turn? |
47242 | _ Cy._ Clothing-- what is that for? |
47242 | _ Cy._ Do you see, or must I explain? |
47242 | _ Cy._ Is he temperate? |
47242 | _ Cy._ Oh, yes; look at it this way; what have feet to do? |
47242 | _ Cy._ That brings us to the questions, What is want, and what is sufficiency? |
47242 | _ Cy._ Then do you think my feet are in worse condition than yours? |
47242 | _ Cy._ Then, if you find me living economically, and others extravagantly, why blame me instead of them? |
47242 | _ Cy._ Well, consider the purpose of anything we require; the purpose of a house is protection? |
47242 | _ Cy._ Well, the rest of my body, then? |
47242 | _ Do._ And how do you like him for a lover? |
47242 | _ First Master._ Ha, Cantharus, have I got you? |

47242 | _ First Master._ Why, what is all this about? |
47242 | _ Gly._ Yes, dear; is n''t it_ horrid_ of her? |
47242 | _ Her._ And why is that? |
47242 | _ Her._ Does none of you know anything about this other? |
47242 | _ Her._ How am I to understand that? |
47242 | _ Her._ Straight to Thrace, then? |
47242 | _ Her._ Very good; and what comes next? |
47242 | _ Her._ Yes, come along, and we will polish off a few to- day.--Which way, Philosophy? |

47242 | _ Ly._ And if a person were to use''interchange''there instead of''exchange,''what would you take him to mean? |
47242 | _ Ly._ And if you caught him committing a solecism, would you stand it? |
47242 | _ Ly._ And the fancy? |
47242 | _ Ly._ And what lover would not have been jealous? |
47242 | _ Ly._ But what would you have me do? |
47242 | _ Ly._ By the way, do you know of any one who is on the look in for a wife? |
47242 | _ Ly._ Can it be a love affair? |
47242 | _ Ly._ Charinus? |
47242 | _ Ly._ Do I understand that you are proof? |
47242 | _ Ly._ Do you also see that the exchange of one for the other is a solecism? |
47242 | _ Ly._ Have you realized on what a slender thread all this wealth depends? |
47242 | _ Ly._ How about that last? |
47242 | _ Ly._ How did''one are''get past you? |
47242 | _ Ly._ How do you make that out? |
47242 | _ Ly._ I suppose one must be blunder- proof, to detect the man who is not so? |
47242 | _ Ly._ Is there such a person? |
47242 | _ Ly._ Monstrous sly, is it not, to say''mutual''instead of''joint''? |
47242 | _ Ly._ Not sure? |
47242 | _ Ly._ Now, can you tell me the difference between''setting''and''sitting,''or between''be seated''and''sit''? |
47242 | _ Ly._ Or the only way you can learn? |
47242 | _ Ly._ Outrageous? |
47242 | _ Ly._ Perhaps one at a time are too few? |
47242 | _ Ly._ Pythias? |
47242 | _ Ly._ Then, as you can not feel the difference between''deprecate''and''depreciate,''shall we conclude that you are an ignoramus? |
47242 | _ Ly._ Well, shall you be able to detect a culprit, and convict him if he denies it? |
47242 | _ Ly._ Well, what is to happen, if you can not follow now? |
47242 | _ Ly._ Well? |
47242 | _ Ly._ What do I want with a wish? |
47242 | _ Ly._ What, not observed''broad open''? |

47242 | _ Masters._ Indeed, madam? |
47242 | _ Me._ What was her fee? |
47242 | _ Mo._ Have I your permission to speak, sir? |
47242 | _ Mother._ But what about kissing Lamprias? |
47242 | _ Mother._ They do n''t all find it so hard to get round their fathers; why ca n''t he get a slave to wheedle him? |
47242 | _ Mu._ Oh well, mother, are the rest of them happier or better- looking than I am? |
47242 | _ Myr._ Well, and when you sailed again, did n''t I give you that waistcoat, that you might have something to wear when you were rowing? |
47242 | _ Pa._ Are you mad, or what is the matter with you? |
47242 | _ Pa._ How much more nonsense are you going to talk about shipowners and marriages? |
47242 | _ Pa._ Oh, Dorcas, what_ am_ I to do? |
47242 | _ Pa._ Oh, what will become of me? |
47242 | _ Pa._ Well; and you did? |
47242 | _ Pa._ What shall I do, Dorcas? |
47242 | _ Pa._ What, straight off like that? |
47242 | _ Phi._ And who may you be, good sir? |
47242 | _ Phi._ Dionicus the doctor had told him, he said;_ he_ was one of you, was he not? |
47242 | _ Phi._ Heracles, who is this comely person with a lyre? |
47242 | _ Phi._ I know; a fine lad; only a lad, though; old enough to marry? |
47242 | _ Phi._ The usual thing, I suppose-- a panegyric on the bride, or an epithalamium? |
47242 | _ Phi._ Well, my dear, where is that wine? |
47242 | _ Po._ Polemon, deme Stiria, tribe Pandionis; will that do for you? |
47242 | _ Po._ Who is this person coming to you? |
47242 | _ Pr._ But what possessed you to abdicate? |
47242 | _ Pr._ First, then, is the common story true? |
47242 | _ Pur._ Again? |
47242 | _ Pur._ But what have I to do with solecists on the look in for wives? |
47242 | _ Pur._ Feelings? |
47242 | _ Pur._ How can that be, before you have opened your lips? |
47242 | _ Pur._ How could I call myself educated, if I made blunders at my age? |
47242 | _ Pur._ Namely--? |
47242 | _ Pur._ Three? |
47242 | _ Pur._ Well? |
47242 | _ Pur._ What_ are_ you talking about? |
47242 | _ Pur._ Why, what may the difference be? |
47242 | _ Pur._ Would it? |
47242 | _ Pur._ You are joking, of course? |
47242 | _ Sa._ Are you going to show the white feather too, Adimantus, now that the danger is near?--Timolaus, what is your advice? |
47242 | _ Sa._ Well, tell me what you think of mine? |
47242 | _ Sa._ You see when it was we lost him, Lycinus? |
47242 | _ Sa.__ O sancta simplicitas!_ Did you think that you were at Athens all this time? |
47242 | _ Second Master._ Ha, you rascal there, am I mistaken, or are you my lost Lecythio? |
47242 | _ Ti._ Well, Lycinus, what do you expect? |
47242 | _ Try._ And the tears were all for her? |
47242 | _ Try._ Had you a full view of her, or did you just see her face and as much as a woman of forty- five likes to show? |
47242 | _ Try._ Is this recent? |
47242 | _ Try._ Well, which are you going to trust-- her word, or your own eyes? |
47242 | _ Try._ Which? |
47242 | _ You_ are very proud of your eulogy on Homer; and is Demosthenes a light matter to_ me_?'' |
47242 | _ Zeus._ Oh, it''s the philosophers who have been misbehaving themselves? |
47242 | _ Zeus._ Then if it is neither the philosophers nor the common people, who is it that you complain of? |
47242 | a man of mature years riding about on a finger- ring, moving whole mountains with a touch; bald and snub- nosed, yet the desire of all eyes? |
47242 | a repetition of the Socrates and Anytus affair? |
47242 | and I am to let him outrage my feelings just for that? |
47242 | and did she steal away Zeus, and give you a stone to swallow for a baby? |
47242 | and going across and embracing him? |
47242 | and how did they receive you at your first descent? |
47242 | and how shall I describe them? |
47242 | and that Mede there, Mithras, with the candys and tiara? |
47242 | and what brings you here, away from the world? |
47242 | and what is the trouble now? |
47242 | and what were they? |
47242 | because a pretender like Hetoemocles comes short of his profession, you argue from him to the real sages, to Cleanthes and Zeno? |
47242 | column? |
47242 | did you hear that? |
47242 | do you remember? |
47242 | ever look at any other man? |
47242 | give a full description of what men do in their cups? |
47242 | great Bacchus''merry fame? |
47242 | has he never found out how thin her hair is? |
47242 | he has given you up, and taken her in your place? |
47242 | he left life for want of belief in my promises? |
47242 | he was not there; what can he know about it? |
47242 | how do your pipes come to be broken? |
47242 | how they were saved by a star? |
47242 | how?'' |
47242 | is he a man of sense? |
47242 | is that all? |
47242 | is that it? |
47242 | is that true? |
47242 | it is a treat to hear him when he sings and tries to make himself agreeable; what is it they tell me about an ass that would learn the lyre? |
47242 | never a word of how Polemon had talked or thought of me, or prayed he might find me alive? |
47242 | or how long has it been going on? |
47242 | or should I have made him my right- hand man in the management of Greece and of the empire? |
47242 | or that Chaereas will be of the same mind when he has his fortune, and his mother finds a marriage that will bring him another? |
47242 | or the other, the one they call The Trap? |
47242 | or was it just a drunken freak? |
47242 | or, not to go beyond the merest elements, how does_ condition_ differ from_ constitution? |
47242 | so poor of heart? |
47242 | take it quietly and make her words seem true and let her be queen? |
47242 | that he forgave his country a debt of a million odd? |
47242 | that he was cast out of Rome,--he whose brilliance exceeds the Sun, fit rival of the Lord of Olympus? |
47242 | that is surely Adimantus? |
47242 | the all- daring might Of Heracles? |
47242 | the old gentleman deserved a better fate? |
47242 | the race from dragon''s teeth that came? |
47242 | there are two of them; one in Piraeus, who has only just come there; Damyllus the governor''s son is in love with her; is it that one? |
47242 | used you to eat the children Rhea bore you? |
47242 | was Demosthenes not our enemy of enemies? |
47242 | was there ever a juster man than Aristides? |
47242 | what do they suppose they are going to get out of him?'' |
47242 | what do you mean?'' |
47242 | what does it aggravate? |
47242 | what is it? |
47242 | what would it be if I saw the thing done, and the blood, and the bodies lying there? |
47242 | why not tell his mother he will go off for a soldier if she does n''t let him have some money? |
47242 | you do not suppose he knew anything worth knowing about me? |
47242 | you name that name? |
6585 | ''And after that, whither will you go?'' |
6585 | ''And did you see how he shovelled his food down, hand over hand? |
6585 | ''And how armed?'' |
6585 | ''And how did you traverse this vast space of air?'' |
6585 | ''And how many years will you sojourn and prophesy among us?'' |
6585 | ''And of what use can he be to you in Pontus?'' |
6585 | ''And what are these vexations?'' |
6585 | ''Another, different from the former one? |
6585 | ''Dinias?'' |
6585 | ''How comes it, sir, that you know me?'' |
6585 | ''I was otherwise engaged,''said Megalonymus;''know you not that it was a lawless day and a dumb? |
6585 | ''Well,''said I,''paid he the penalty in some wise, or showed a clean pair of heels?'' |
6585 | ''What is this you say, Eudemus?'' |
6585 | ''What may their numbers be, all told?'' |
6585 | ''What shall I be after this life?'' |
6585 | ''What, Dion the effeminate, the libertine, the debauchee, the mastich- chewer, the too susceptible to amorous sights?'' |
6585 | ''What,''said I,''are there other inhabitants?'' |
6585 | ''Who was the king of the Achaeans?'' |
6585 | ''You are surely Anacharsis, the son of Daucetas?'' |
6585 | A tyrant''s death? |
6585 | Again there would have been a flaw in my claim? |
6585 | Alone, did I say? |
6585 | Am I to have no credit for all that is done? |
6585 | And do you then claim to have the use of my skill, the absolute control of what was acquired independently? |
6585 | And first tell me-- do you allow learners to criticize, if they find difficulties in your doctrines, or must juniors abstain from that? |
6585 | And from that little taste you could have answered for the quality of the whole? |
6585 | And how shall this remnant of tyranny be punished? |
6585 | And pray what is the difference between killing him and causing his death? |
6585 | And shall they now? |
6585 | And the reproach? |
6585 | And then if you recover, must I look for another restitution? |
6585 | And thou, Lexiphanes, comest thou, or tarriest here?'' |
6585 | And what if he were a villain? |
6585 | And what is that? |
6585 | And what is the end of it all? |
6585 | And what other channel is there, into which their energies could be directed? |
6585 | And who is the cause of it all? |
6585 | And why did I leave my sword in the wound, if not because I foresaw the very thing that would happen? |
6585 | And why? |
6585 | And will you yet make a mystery of it to your friend, and let him be lost with the vulgar herd? |
6585 | And you have not yet sweated and travelled enough? |
6585 | Another of my questions was about the so- called spurious lines; had he written them, or not? |
6585 | Are there not lofty tragedy and brilliant comedy,--things that have been deemed worthy of state recognition? |
6585 | Are these wounds? |
6585 | Are you the only man who has found the truth, and are all the people who go in for philosophy fools? |
6585 | As for his hitting his mother or seducing girls, what have I to do with that? |
6585 | At length the old man spoke:--''What are you, strangers; are you spirits of the sea, or unfortunate mortals like ourselves? |
6585 | Because you were ill, and I was at such pains to restore you, does that make you the owner of my art? |
6585 | Both these pleas, then, being excluded, what is left me but to confess that I have no sound defence to make? |
6585 | But how? |
6585 | But in philosophy-- the Stoic, for instance-- how will the part reveal the other parts to you, or how can you conclude that they are beautiful? |
6585 | But is there indeed Happiness up there-- and worth all the pains? |
6585 | But perhaps that is not so easily done? |
6585 | But suppose you come upon it first or second, what will you do then? |
6585 | But the fox came up and said to him:''Why vex yourself, good sir, over the past ones? |
6585 | But the truth, I presume, is bound to be in one of them, and not in all, as they differ? |
6585 | But what are your hopes in pursuing philosophy, then? |
6585 | But what is the function of professional advice? |
6585 | But what of that? |
6585 | But when we find them( to use the expression of a famous orator)''faring like men that are sick,''what conclusion is then left to us to draw? |
6585 | But who has ever heard before of our putting an offering to the vote, or hindering men from paying sacrifice? |
6585 | But who_ was_ my victim? |
6585 | By next Olympiad, then? |
6585 | Can you not hear classical music performed at the great festivals? |
6585 | Confine your attention to this one question: does any of our oppressors survive? |
6585 | Consider: are your duties any lighter than those of a Dromo or a Tibius? |
6585 | Content? |
6585 | Could I not have provided for myself better than this, and preserved liberty and free- will into the bargain? |
6585 | Could anything be more absurd? |
6585 | Could you have said the hand was a man''s, if you had never known or seen a man? |
6585 | Could you state on oath that they have? |
6585 | Democracy is restored: what more can you demand from him who restored it? |
6585 | Did I get into some disreputable brawl? |
6585 | Did I stay out o''nights, sir? |
6585 | Did any such complaint reach you? |
6585 | Did he tell you the Stoics were the best of men, and send you to their school? |
6585 | Did you ever have a seat close by the judges? |
6585 | Did you ever see them behaving like your master, as I described him to you just now? |
6585 | Did you never meet a plain- dealer to give you a dose of candour? |
6585 | Do we propose to abandon the temple for the law- court? |
6585 | Do you charge me with untimely drinkings and revellings? |
6585 | Do you count it no shame to be pitted against toadies and vulgar parasites? |
6585 | Do you know the story of the great Cnidian architect? |
6585 | Do you prefer a suit for ill health? |
6585 | Do you suppose his interest in such things is selfish? |
6585 | Do you suppose the Platonists, Pythagoreans, Epicureans, and other schools, will let that pass? |
6585 | Do you think it impossible they may all be deluded, and the truth be something which none of them has yet found? |
6585 | Do your praises halt? |
6585 | Does any one claim it? |
6585 | Does any one else know anything of this sword? |
6585 | Does he pooh- pooh your efforts? |
6585 | Does it not amount to that, when your school reckon goodness the only end, and the Epicureans pleasure? |
6585 | For all these toils will you be content with your one day? |
6585 | For instance? |
6585 | For what fate does he reserve me, who am dead already in thy death, O my son? |
6585 | For who would not be deterred at the thought that the God accepts no offering without the previous sanction of his priests? |
6585 | Frigid? |
6585 | Give me figures; how many more of them than of Epicureans, Platonists, Peripatetics? |
6585 | Had I better turn craven, face right- about, confess my sin, and have recourse to the regular plea of Chance, Fate, Necessity? |
6585 | Has any man a prior claim? |
6585 | Has not the reward of tyrannicide been paid before now to him who merely expelled a tyrant? |
6585 | Have I been wanting here? |
6585 | Have I lacked courage? |
6585 | Have I not earned my reward? |
6585 | Have I shrunk back at the prospect of the dangers through which I must pass? |
6585 | Have you never a friend or relation or well- wisher? |
6585 | He may slight your intercessions on my behalf?'' |
6585 | Here is a specimen: Who is''t, thou askst, that with Calligenia All secretly defiles thy nuptial bed? |
6585 | How can a man try all the roads, when, as you said, he will be unable to escape from the first of them? |
6585 | How can it possibly be? |
6585 | How can you tell that its holder is the bye till you have been all round and found no counterpart to it? |
6585 | How can you tell? |
6585 | How could you have known the whole of his doctrines from the first taste, then? |
6585 | How could you possibly discern the true philosopher from the false, then, by the marks you mentioned? |
6585 | How do you mean? |
6585 | How do you mean? |
6585 | How else should it have befallen me? |
6585 | How else, Hermotimus? |
6585 | How long has it taken you? |
6585 | How much did the stock of my surgery cost you? |
6585 | How much higher and more slippery, pray, is the peak on which your Virtue dwells than that Aornos crag which Alexander stormed in a few days? |
6585 | How should it be otherwise? |
6585 | How should you hope to rank with the minister of Love''s pleasures, with the stealthy conveyer of billets- doux? |
6585 | How? |
6585 | However, granting as much as you like that these are the right tests, what is a blind man to do, if he wants to take up philosophy? |
6585 | I dare say he recommends different philosophers to different persons, according to their individual needs? |
6585 | I did not slay the tyrant; I have not fulfilled the requirements of the statute; there is a flaw in my claim.--And what more does he want of me? |
6585 | I put in;''Who is Dinias?'' |
6585 | I suppose they think they are conferring a favour on us with their wordy stuff?'' |
6585 | I suppose, Hermotimus, you have often been at athletic meetings? |
6585 | I trust my master''s word; and he knows well; is he not on the topmost height? |
6585 | If not, what can have induced them to enlarge on these rudiments to the tune of a hundred or a thousand volumes apiece? |
6585 | If then the tyrant is slain, how can you withhold the reward from him who occasioned his death? |
6585 | If you are known to be an admirable performer by persons who are themselves universally known and admired, what have you to do with public opinion? |
6585 | If you have seen them, you are just as bad as I am; and if not, are you justified in censuring them? |
6585 | If you want amusements, are there not a thousand things_ worth_ seeing and hearing? |
6585 | In that case, what are we to do? |
6585 | Indeed, and do you make that a charge against me? |
6585 | Indeed? |
6585 | Is he any use? |
6585 | Is he punished? |
6585 | Is it wronging you to say that you hunt the shadow or the snake''s dead slough, and neglect the solid body or the creeping thing itself? |
6585 | Is that the meaning?'' |
6585 | Is there reward for this? |
6585 | Is this death? |
6585 | It is possible, I suppose, that one may be right? |
6585 | Its author might fairly say to you, sir:_ If your son was vicious and deserved to be disinherited, what were you about to recall him? |
6585 | Laymen, then? |
6585 | Lending money and clamouring for payment, losing their tempers in philosophic debates, and making other exhibitions of themselves? |
6585 | Let us not chop logic as to the manner and circumstances of his death, but rather ask: has he ceased to exist, and am I the cause? |
6585 | Live? |
6585 | Lord, what is this? |
6585 | May I claim some credit for this, or do you still require his blood? |
6585 | Might this be a case for, Steep plunge from crags into the teeming deep? |
6585 | Must entreaty be added? |
6585 | Must not all men yearn to belong to a State like that, and never count the toil of getting there, nor lose heart over the time it takes? |
6585 | Must we withdraw our previous admission, that no one can choose the best out of many without trying all? |
6585 | My present life has been another''s: do I look to have a new life which shall be my own?'' |
6585 | Not so fast; what in the world does it matter to him, if they do not pay up? |
6585 | Not their rivals, I suppose? |
6585 | Now is it likely that one who is so benevolent to strangers should deal unjustly with his fellow citizens? |
6585 | Now tell me, did you ever buy wine? |
6585 | Now what is their claim to be set over our heads? |
6585 | Now, Crato,--you talk of pantomimes and theatres,--have you seen these performances yourself, that you are so hard on them? |
6585 | Now, are their doctrines the same, or different? |
6585 | Now, is there only one road to philosophy-- the Stoic way? |
6585 | O ho, conduits-- that is your subject, is it? |
6585 | Oh, do tell me what he says about it; what is Happiness like? |
6585 | Oh, why but that I could cry like a baby? |
6585 | Or perhaps these are trifles, so long as the dress is decent, the beard long, and the hair close- cropped? |
6585 | Or what sort of a hive could ever keep together such a swarm of lop- sided monstrosities? |
6585 | Or will you tell me this might do well enough for one of the common herd, but you can not have_ me_ sheltering myself so? |
6585 | Outside are the gilt edges and the purple cover: and within? |
6585 | Perhaps we can do without a name? |
6585 | Remove from these men''s minds the gold and the silver, with the cares that these involve, and what remains? |
6585 | Say, is it unreasonable in such a case to allow my claim? |
6585 | Say, why should we change the old- established usage in regard to offerings? |
6585 | Say: did I flinch? |
6585 | Seest, then, thy true course? |
6585 | Shall I concede that this is the sum of my achievements? |
6585 | Shall I extol your intelligence, or would you rather I explained to you my own poor idea, which differs? |
6585 | Shall I sit quietly on the brink of destruction, exercising clemency and long- suffering as heretofore? |
6585 | Shall I tell you a plea for philosophy which I lately heard? |
6585 | Shall an ass affect the lyre? |
6585 | Shall he interpret the laws as he will against his benefactor? |
6585 | Shall we deduct a quarter of that, and say a hundred and fifty will do? |
6585 | Shall we put it, that the tyrant has escaped, and lives? |
6585 | Should you not have considered that the owner of a weapon so public- spirited was entitled to honour and reward? |
6585 | Should you not have recompensed him, and inscribed his name among those of your benefactors; consecrated his sword, and worshipped it as a God? |
6585 | So they too keep their philosopher, their orator, or their_ litterateur_; and give him audience-- when, think you? |
6585 | So you know how they arrange ties for the wrestling or the pancratium? |
6585 | Tell me, did you ever meet a man who said twice two was seven or eleven? |
6585 | That may be; but about these twenty years-- have you your master''s promise that you will live so long? |
6585 | The due connexion between the various dishes which make their appearance is beyond you: which ought you to take first? |
6585 | The increased bitterness of such a death would have counted for nothing with you? |
6585 | The king surveyed us, and, forming his conclusions from our dress,''Strangers,''said he,''you are Greeks, are you not?'' |
6585 | The son, perhaps, caused you no uneasiness; he was no despot, no grievous oppressor? |
6585 | Then, Philo, how shall we class the historians who indulge in poetical phraseology? |
6585 | There is no other road to philosophy? |
6585 | This was, When will Alexander''s imposture be detected? |
6585 | To follow and join philosophic forces with whomsoever you first fall in with, and let him thank Fortune for his proselyte? |
6585 | Very well, which shall we start with? |
6585 | Was I extravagant? |
6585 | Was that a smile? |
6585 | Was there no other way? |
6585 | We are provided for the future, then, with an infallible rule and balance, guaranteed by Hermotimus? |
6585 | We thought selection without experiment a method of inquiry savouring more of divination than of judgement, did we not? |
6585 | Well now, what is the idea of your piece? |
6585 | Well then, can you name me a man who has tried every road in philosophy? |
6585 | Well then, we have got to live a hundred years, and go through all this trouble? |
6585 | Well, Lycinus? |
6585 | Well, and later on what fault has my father to find? |
6585 | Well, but tell me; when Phidias saw the claw, would he ever have known it for a lion''s, if he had never seen a lion? |
6585 | Well, did you go to every wine vault in town, one after another, tasting and comparing? |
6585 | Well, do n''t you think it will be a troublesome business to distinguish the first, and know them from the ignorant professors? |
6585 | Well, if these will not do, what_ are_ the good things he offers to those who carry their course right through? |
6585 | Well, well; are we to give up philosophy, then, and idle our lives away like the common herd? |
6585 | Well, what am I to plead? |
6585 | Well, when a small man came on in the character of Hector, they cried out with one voice:''Here is Astyanax; and where is Hector?'' |
6585 | Well? |
6585 | Were lupines and wild herbs so scarce with you? |
6585 | Were our original expectations from philosophy at all of a different nature, by the way? |
6585 | Were you favoured like Chaerephon with a revelation from Apollo? |
6585 | What I mean is this: was it not from admiration of their_ spirit_ that you joined them, expecting to have your own spirit purified? |
6585 | What are Anacharsis and Toxaris doing here to- day in Macedonia, bringing Solon with them too, poor old gentleman, all the way from Athens? |
6585 | What attention or filial duty did I omit? |
6585 | What but this, that here again they have been misled, the very evil which they sold their liberty to escape remaining as it was? |
6585 | What can I do to make myself known all over Greece? |
6585 | What can it be? |
6585 | What do you mean? |
6585 | What do you mean? |
6585 | What fault have we to find with the ancient custom, that we should propose innovations? |
6585 | What for? |
6585 | What further occasion for the law? |
6585 | What had I to fear, when once the stronger of our oppressors was slain? |
6585 | What have I said to justify that? |
6585 | What if I had killed one of his guards, some underling, some favourite domestic? |
6585 | What if the outcast should take to rehearsing in public the tragedy that he has got by heart? |
6585 | What is it? |
6585 | What is the good of answering your questions? |
6585 | What is the matter with him, Lycinus? |
6585 | What is the use of a light that is to be hidden under a bushel? |
6585 | What must be his qualifications? |
6585 | What need to drink the whole cask, when you can judge the quality of the whole from one little taste? |
6585 | What prospect does he hold out? |
6585 | What resemblance is there? |
6585 | What say you, Theognis? |
6585 | What say you, gentlemen? |
6585 | What say you? |
6585 | What scrupulousness is this-- to concern yourself with the manner of his end, while you are enjoying the freedom that results from it? |
6585 | What shall we do, then? |
6585 | What was the test you applied_ then_? |
6585 | What we are taught to do is first of all to ascertain whether the disease is curable or incurable-- has it passed beyond our control? |
6585 | What will the total come to, if we assume only ten schools? |
6585 | What would my enemy say to that? |
6585 | What would this be but sheer imbecility? |
6585 | What, in God''s name, is my glorious recompense? |
6585 | What, our exquisite with his essay? |
6585 | When you evil entreat your benefactor, you are wronging nature; now I ask, do you wrong the laws as well as nature? |
6585 | Where dined you yesterday? |
6585 | Where in the world can you have raked up all this rubbish from? |
6585 | Where is my sword? |
6585 | Where is the assassin? |
6585 | Where is your multitude, with knowledge and experience_ of all_? |
6585 | Where shall we find the skein? |
6585 | Where will you find a theatre or circus large enough to admit the whole nation as your audience? |
6585 | Where_ shall_ we put you, then? |
6585 | Which do you mean? |
6585 | Which had the victory, though, he or Euthydemus-- if Midas said anything about that? |
6585 | Which? |
6585 | Who could conceivably go through all the stages I have rehearsed? |
6585 | Who had it before him? |
6585 | Who is to be our Ariadne? |
6585 | Who shall be my_ multum in parvo_?'' |
6585 | Who took it up into the citadel? |
6585 | Whom, indeed, could I substitute in your place, and hope to preserve a reputation for sanity? |
6585 | Whose credit is highest with his neighbours? |
6585 | Why are you dumb? |
6585 | Why did not they make you a Tithonus for years and durability? |
6585 | Why did you assume that that was the only true one, which would set you on the straight road to Virtue, while the rest all opened on blind alleys? |
6585 | Why do you say that? |
6585 | Why have him home again? |
6585 | Why no answer, Hermotimus? |
6585 | Why not just hold a private inquiry, you and I, whether philosophy is what I say it is? |
6585 | Why suspend the law''s operation? |
6585 | Why this obstinate silence? |
6585 | Why, in that book of instructions which you all receive from the Emperor, is not the first recommendation to take care of your health? |
6585 | Why,_ this_ is the matter; do n''t you hear? |
6585 | Why? |
6585 | Will you look on while he makes war upon nature? |
6585 | Will you mention the fees you paid? |
6585 | Will you say at once, Here is the bye? |
6585 | Would it not have been thought a great thing, to go up and dispatch the tyrant''s friend within his own walls, in the midst of his armed attendants? |
6585 | Would life be worth living, to the man who should be judged unworthy to offer sacrifice? |
6585 | Would you listen to the clear melody of flute and pipe? |
6585 | Would you revel in sweet song? |
6585 | You agree? |
6585 | You and I have both travelled far to see these things: you will not suffer me to depart without seeing them?'' |
6585 | You are to''consider everything as your own''; there, surely, is something solid? |
6585 | You know the Heracleot, quite an old pupil of his in philosophy by this time-- red- haired-- likes an argument? |
6585 | You observe how indispensable it all is to the history; without the scene, how could we have comprehended the action? |
6585 | You understand me? |
6585 | am I his keeper?_ A dignified defence of philosophy for an old man! |
6585 | and was she as discreet as Odysseus had been used to vaunt her? |
6585 | are we not free men? |
6585 | are we so hard- mouthed, so untongued? |
6585 | bare my throat to the sword? |
6585 | come to the very door, and then turn back? |
6585 | did I not ascend into the citadel? |
6585 | did I not slay? |
6585 | did they contemplate anything beyond a more decent behaviour than the average? |
6585 | do we hear a tyrant''s threats? |
6585 | do you withhold it? |
6585 | does he think you will be on the top next year-- by the Great Mysteries, or the Panathenaea, say? |
6585 | does it not savour of over- confidence, to condemn what you know nothing about? |
6585 | had the springs ceased to give their wonted supply, that you were brought to such a pass? |
6585 | have we a master? |
6585 | how is he to find the man whose principles are right, when he can not see his appearance or gait? |
6585 | if their strangeness had not produced the panic, where should we have been?'' |
6585 | is he prophet as well as philosopher? |
6585 | is it not almost a State document? |
6585 | is it not to be supposed that the provocation has been unusually great? |
6585 | is there any ground for anxiety, any vestige of our past misery? |
6585 | not one of_ them_ right either? |
6585 | or again when you say everything is material, and Plato recognizes an immaterial element also in all that exists? |
6585 | or can we halve it? |
6585 | or do you decide that they are''foul mire''without personal experience? |
6585 | or is it a soothsayer or Chaldean expert that you trust? |
6585 | or were you confident in your own unaided discrimination? |
6585 | or when they have once got up, must they stay there, conversing with Virtue, and smiling at wealth and glory and pleasure? |
6585 | or would some Ethiopian elder remark, How do you know, my confident friend? |
6585 | says I;''You would exact mutation from us? |
6585 | see my nearest and dearest slaughtered before my eyes? |
6585 | they tell me there are a great many other philosophers; is that so? |
6585 | those who have been by which road, and under whose guidance? |
6585 | was it not a_ dignus vindice nodus_? |
6585 | wealth, glory, pleasures incomparable? |
6585 | what do you advise, my counsel? |
6585 | what his previous training? |
6585 | what his studies? |
6585 | what his subsidiary accomplishments? |
6585 | when are you to be up? |
6585 | which next? |
6585 | who has wrought the change? |
6585 | why seek to deprive me of a people''s gratitude? |
6585 | will it avail me to say I trusted my friend Hermotimus? |
6585 | with Onomacritus?'' |
6585 | you have never been in foreign parts, nor had any experience of other nations._ Shall I tell him the old man''s question was justified? |
6829 | ''A lion''s skin?'' |
6829 | ''Ah, talking of superstition, now,''says Eucrates,''that reminds me: what do you make of oracles, for instance, and omens? |
6829 | ''And what is to be our course?'' |
6829 | ''And what were the spirits doing?'' |
6829 | ''And what,''Arignotus next asked,''is the subject of your learned conversation? |
6829 | ''And you can actually make a man out of a pestle to this day?'' |
6829 | ''Ask one of these brawling bawling censors, And what do_ you_ do? |
6829 | ''Confound it, sir,''he might exclaim,''what is the noise about? |
6829 | ''Do you suppose,''asked Eucrates,''that he is the only man who has seen such things? |
6829 | ''Doing? |
6829 | ''Doubt the word of Eucrates, the learned son of Dino? |
6829 | ''Have you never noticed as you came in that beautiful one in the court, by Demetrius the portrait- sculptor?'' |
6829 | ''How long is this to go on?'' |
6829 | ''In other words, you do not believe in the existence of the Gods, since you maintain that cures can not be wrought by the use of holy names?'' |
6829 | ''Ion,''said I,''about that one who was so old: did the ambassador snake give him an arm, or had he a stick to lean on?'' |
6829 | ''Of course I do; but what have wings and eyes to do with one another?'' |
6829 | ''Oh, you keep a man, do you?'' |
6829 | ''Perhaps it is the pitchy darkness of the infernal regions that runs in your head? |
6829 | ''Perhaps,''I suggested,''it is not Pelichus at all, but Talos the Cretan, the son of Minos? |
6829 | ''Twas at the Saturnalia, the day I made that pease- pudding, with the two slices of sausage in it? |
6829 | ''Unconsciously, then; what is it?'' |
6829 | ''Well,''said the proconsul,''I pardon him this time at your request; but if he offends again, what shall I do to him?'' |
6829 | ''What are we coming to?'' |
6829 | ''What do you think of my play, Demonax?'' |
6829 | ''What herds, what waggons have you, Arsacomas?'' |
6829 | ''What is this I hear?'' |
6829 | ''What liar took you in like that, sir?'' |
6829 | ''What of Otus and Ephialtes now?'' |
6829 | ''What should they be, Lord, but those of absolute reverence, as to the King of all Gods?'' |
6829 | ''What statue is this?'' |
6829 | ''What was that about, Arignotus?'' |
6829 | ''What will you have?'' |
6829 | ''What, Tychiades,''says Cleodemus, with a faint grin,''you do n''t believe these remedies are good for anything?'' |
6829 | ''What,''I exclaimed,''you saw this Hyperborean actually flying and walking on water?'' |
6829 | ''What,''said he,''is my country expecting me to do my duty?'' |
6829 | ''When are those hecatombs coming?'' |
6829 | ''Who told you I was a philosopher?'' |
6829 | ''Why did he not make you a Greek instead?'' |
6829 | ''Why no more ambrosia?'' |
6829 | ''Why, you know that you have on an eagle''s right wing?'' |
6829 | ''Will it surprise you to learn that I am a fellow- craftsman?'' |
6829 | ), and who wanted people to go for five years without speaking? |
6829 | ... No answer? |
6829 | A doctor? |
6829 | A man is saved by art, not by the absence of it? |
6829 | A mathematician? |
6829 | After all, it is natural enough: what should you do but admire these trifles? |
6829 | Again, I suppose you will pass Aristippus of Cyrene as a distinguished philosopher? |
6829 | Again, did not Aristogiton, poor and of mean extraction, as Thucydides describes him, sponge on Harmodius? |
6829 | Ah, Anacharsis, if the love of fair fame were to be wiped out of our lives, what good would remain? |
6829 | Ah, and what are the prizes, now? |
6829 | Ah, yes, tell me about him: they say he is your son? |
6829 | All these effects, and no effecting Providence? |
6829 | All this was food for laughter, as well it might be, to the Indians and their king: Take the field? |
6829 | Am I not even in sleep to find a refuge from Poverty, Poverty more vile than your vile self? |
6829 | Am I not the Sun? |
6829 | And I? |
6829 | And did you like being a man best, or receiving the addresses of Pericles? |
6829 | And everything moves casually, by blind tendency? |
6829 | And have you grappled with Aristophanes and Eupolis? |
6829 | And her name? |
6829 | And how are you going to do that? |
6829 | And how big, now, did the towns and the people look from there? |
6829 | And how should that be? |
6829 | And in Scythia''good men''receive sacrifice just the same as Gods? |
6829 | And in what form was your spirit next clothed, after it had put off Pythagoras? |
6829 | And is it in your power to unspin what they have spun? |
6829 | And now look at it from the patron''s point of view; does he get his money''s worth? |
6829 | And now what about those many points in which your art is superior to Rhetoric and Philosophy? |
6829 | And now, what are we to do? |
6829 | And pleasure a good? |
6829 | And the regulation of the universe is not under any God''s care? |
6829 | And then in the dining- room, where is his match, to jest or to eat? |
6829 | And this being so, why should not the same principles be extended further?'' |
6829 | And we may call a sponger an out- diner? |
6829 | And what am I going to be next? |
6829 | And what are his other doings, to which all your household are witnesses?'' |
6829 | And what do I want with a garlanded column over my grave? |
6829 | And what good do you suppose you are going to do by pouring wine on it? |
6829 | And what if he has? |
6829 | And what is the result? |
6829 | And what makes Simon so pale? |
6829 | And what more natural than that she should love poetry, and make it her chief study? |
6829 | And what of him? |
6829 | And what was his reason? |
6829 | And what wonder, if the fairest of Ionian cities has given birth to the fairest of women?'' |
6829 | And what would you have me do, my boy? |
6829 | And when you were Pythagoras? |
6829 | And where shall I begin? |
6829 | And who is this Syrian? |
6829 | And whom does he send to dwell with the heroes? |
6829 | And why? |
6829 | And will you scout Euripides too, then? |
6829 | And you never even asked her name? |
6829 | And your versatility has even changed sexes? |
6829 | And, Pan,--have they become more virtuous under the hands of the philosophers? |
6829 | Antisthenes? |
6829 | Archilochus? |
6829 | Are not these admirable deeds, and shall not the doers be counted as Gods by all who esteem prowess? |
6829 | Are the Gods going to push Destiny aside and make a bid for government? |
6829 | Are the prizes too small? |
6829 | Are we to understand that you possess literary discernment without the assistance of any study? |
6829 | Are you afraid I shall be suffocated in the confinement of the tomb? |
6829 | Are you counting upon Atticus and Callinus, the copyists, to put in a good word for you? |
6829 | Are you going to retract what you said? |
6829 | Are you going to tell me that a man who finds out that he is to die by a steel point can escape the doom by shutting himself up? |
6829 | Are you merely seizing an opportunity of displaying your wealth? |
6829 | Are you now to learn that freedom from hunger and thirst is better than meat and drink, and insensibility to cold better than plenty of clothes? |
6829 | Are you now to learn that life and death are the highest considerations among mankind? |
6829 | As for Momus, what is dishonour to him? |
6829 | As he went, he put questions to me about earthly affairs, beginning with, What was wheat a quarter in Greece? |
6829 | Ask them, Where is Demosthenes now? |
6829 | Asked whether he ate honey- cakes,''Do you suppose,''he said,''that bees only make honey for fools?'' |
6829 | At this moment of depression-- I was very near tears-- who should come up behind me but Empedocles the physicist? |
6829 | Banqueter was the word used for sponger in his day; what does he say? |
6829 | Because he wants the art which would enable him to save his life? |
6829 | Blasphemer, have you ever been a voyage? |
6829 | But I am rather curious on one point: what are your favourite books among so many? |
6829 | But Zeus bent upon me a Titanic glance, awful, penetrating, and spoke: Who art thou? |
6829 | But all this lamentation, now; this fluting and beating of breasts; these wholly disproportionate wailings: how am I the better for it all? |
6829 | But in----? |
6829 | But perhaps you will doubt my word too?'' |
6829 | But proceed, son of Mnesarchus: how came you to change from man to bird, from Samos to Tanagra? |
6829 | But that_ Philosophy_ should lack unity, and even conflict with itself like instruments out of tune-- how can that be tolerated? |
6829 | But there: what need to go back to Orpheus and Neanthus? |
6829 | But they only jeered at me:''Are you going to lie all day about our country and our river, pray? |
6829 | But what I want to know is, how did it happen? |
6829 | But what about your transformations? |
6829 | But what are you laughing at? |
6829 | But what brings you here, Hermes? |
6829 | But what could you find to admire in Orestes and Pylades, that you should exalt them to godhead? |
6829 | But what do you expect from them? |
6829 | But what is the use of that? |
6829 | But what is your solution of the problem? |
6829 | But what made you ask me about the Fates? |
6829 | But what matter what her head was like, or that every one knew how a long illness had treated her? |
6829 | But what put it into your head to make that law about meat and beans? |
6829 | But what sort of a guess do you make at the sponger''s behaviour in war? |
6829 | But what were you going to say about Simon? |
6829 | But when it comes to national lies, when one finds whole cities bouncing collectively like one man, how is one to keep one''s countenance? |
6829 | But who is this breathless messenger? |
6829 | But why deal in conjecture when there are facts to hand? |
6829 | But why not? |
6829 | But would that be quite a worthy conception of divine beings? |
6829 | But would you mind giving a name to all this? |
6829 | But you may well despise me: why do I sit here listening to all this, with my thunder- bolt beneath my arm? |
6829 | By the way, do all who enter get them? |
6829 | By your leave I will proceed to apply the two definitions to what I wrote; which of them fits it? |
6829 | Call in the painters, perhaps, selecting those who were noted for their skill in mixing and laying on their colours? |
6829 | Can we doubt that he is in the right of it? |
6829 | Can you doubt that he who cures the ague may also inflict it at will?'' |
6829 | Can you explain it? |
6829 | Can you give me any more? |
6829 | Can you help me to it? |
6829 | Can you match that, friend? |
6829 | Can your sapience point to any single convenience of life, of which we are deprived in the lower world? |
6829 | Come, my fine fellow, is it not all ridiculous? |
6829 | Consider; will Croesus''s passage of the Halys destroy his own realm, or Cyrus''s? |
6829 | Contempt? |
6829 | Could any man be more abominably misused? |
6829 | Cower ye confounded at these momentous tidings? |
6829 | Did it all happen as Homer describes? |
6829 | Did you ever go through the_ Baptae_[ Footnote: See Cotytto in Notes.]? |
6829 | Did you ever hear of Pythagoras of Samos, son of Mnesarchus? |
6829 | Dining out, in fact? |
6829 | Dinomachus, for instance, wanted to know''how big were the Goddess''s dogs?'' |
6829 | Do the Fates also control you Gods? |
6829 | Do you close your ears even to Zeus''s thunder, atheist? |
6829 | Do you ever read the speech of Aeschines against Timarchus? |
6829 | Do you know what I think we had better do, Hermes? |
6829 | Do you recognize the distinction between_ differentia_ and_ indifferentia_? |
6829 | Do you see him? |
6829 | Do you see? |
6829 | Do you suppose we do not know how to account for your annoyance? |
6829 | Do you teach rhetoric, then? |
6829 | Do_ you_ depend from their thread? |
6829 | Does a man commit a murder? |
6829 | Does he rob a temple? |
6829 | Does he think we all hail from Miletus or Samos? |
6829 | Does not such ingratitude as this render him liable to the penalties imposed by the marriage- laws? |
6829 | Doth none rise? |
6829 | Dream, my good man? |
6829 | Drink, open the case.... Not a word? |
6829 | Ever since we were united in friendship, are we not one flesh? |
6829 | Everything proceeds from the Fates, you say? |
6829 | Fine promises, these, are they not? |
6829 | For her stature, let it be that of Cnidian_ Aphrodite_; once more we have recourse to Praxiteles.--What think you, Polystratus? |
6829 | Gentlemen, can you tolerate such sentiments? |
6829 | Gold the only thing you can find to admire? |
6829 | Ha, ha, friend cock, have I learnt to turn a simile already? |
6829 | Had I not some reason to be annoyed with you? |
6829 | Has Earth produced a new brood of giants? |
6829 | Have I misunderstood your figure, or is this a fair deduction from it? |
6829 | Have the Titans broken their chains, overpowered their guards, and taken up arms against us once more? |
6829 | Have you any preference among our Gods? |
6829 | Have you important news from Earth? |
6829 | Have you thought better of it? |
6829 | Heracles''s right hand is occupied with the club, and his left with the bow: how is he to hold the ends of the chains? |
6829 | Here we are; what do I do next? |
6829 | Hermes, is it in order that this dog- faced Egyptian person should sit in front of me, Posidon? |
6829 | Hermes, of all people, grudge a man a little thievery? |
6829 | Hipponax? |
6829 | Homer may go hang: what does a babbling poet know about dreams? |
6829 | Honour bright? |
6829 | How are we to cure Timocles of the impediment in his speech? |
6829 | How are you to know the difference between genuine old books that are worth money, and trash whose only merit is that it is falling to pieces? |
6829 | How did you manage, then? |
6829 | How do I know that these cures are brought about by the means to which you attribute them? |
6829 | How do they go? |
6829 | How do you develop perfect virtue out of clay and training? |
6829 | How do you make that out? |
6829 | How do you make that out? |
6829 | How is that? |
6829 | How should that be? |
6829 | How so? |
6829 | How so? |
6829 | How their theories conflict is soon apparent; next- door neighbours? |
6829 | How was he punished? |
6829 | How was he to resist this pretty woman, with her captivating manners, her well- timed tears, her parenthetic sighs? |
6829 | How would the God of Friendship meet the case? |
6829 | How? |
6829 | However;--what was your sex next time? |
6829 | Hush, Pan: was not that Hermes making the proclamation? |
6829 | I answered all these questions, and he proceeded:--''Tell me, Menippus, what are men''s feelings towards me?'' |
6829 | I cried;''Hippocrates must have sacrifices, must he? |
6829 | I exclaimed;''so he was a doctor too?'' |
6829 | I expect you had a pleasant time of it, living on the very fat of the land? |
6829 | I shall throw you out, perhaps, if I keep on calling you different things? |
6829 | I suppose you did not happen to see Socrates or Plato among the Shades?'' |
6829 | I thought bath- time would never come; I could not keep my eyes off the dial: where was the shadow now? |
6829 | I tremble for their fate: were they drowned, or did some miraculous providence deliver them? |
6829 | I want to know whether you have a profession of any sort; for instance, are you a musician? |
6829 | I''m not easy about all that plate either: what if some one should knock a hole in the wall, and make off with it? |
6829 | If he is, does he get them out of his own means, or from some one else? |
6829 | If in praising a dog one should remark that it was bigger than a fox or a cat, would you regard him as a skilful panegyrist? |
6829 | If the truth must out, we sit here with a single eye to one thing-- does a man sacrifice and feed the altars fat? |
6829 | In Heaven''s name, what does he expect to get from him? |
6829 | In the daytime, or at night? |
6829 | In the name of goodness, Menippus, what are these astronomical sums you are doing under your breath? |
6829 | Indeed? |
6829 | Is a war- tax to be levied? |
6829 | Is he clever? |
6829 | Is it a lovely portrait? |
6829 | Is it all true that they sing of Destiny and the Fates-- that whatever they spin for a man at his birth must inevitably come about? |
6829 | Is it because I am not a bald, bent, wrinkled old cripple like yourself? |
6829 | Is it equal to that of the Fates? |
6829 | Is it just your way of showing the public that you can afford to spend money even on things that are of no use to you? |
6829 | Is it with tales like these that Homer has prevailed on you? |
6829 | Is she a Fate too? |
6829 | Is that so very portentous? |
6829 | Is the inheritance to your liking? |
6829 | Is the love of gold so absorbing a passion? |
6829 | Is this one of the things it is not proper for me to know? |
6829 | Is your name Zeus, or not? |
6829 | It follows that, if sponging was the negative of art, the sponger would not save his life by its means? |
6829 | It makes me quite angry: what satisfaction can there be to men of their good qualities in deceiving themselves and their neighbours? |
6829 | Know you not that an Emperor has many eyes and many ears? |
6829 | Letters we know, Medicine we know; Sponging? |
6829 | May we pass this as one of my five? |
6829 | Moreover, sponging is not to be classed with beauty and strength, and so called a quality instead of an art? |
6829 | My Pythagoras no better than he should be? |
6829 | My gallant cock has positively laid eggs in his time? |
6829 | My son, why this haste? |
6829 | Namely----? |
6829 | Names? |
6829 | Nay, we can do better: have we not Homer, best of painters, though a Euphranor and an Apelles be present? |
6829 | Need I point out the useful purposes that gold serves? |
6829 | Need I say more? |
6829 | No, no; you answer my question first; what makes you believe in them? |
6829 | Nor can we blame them: they are but men; how should they know truth, when the divinity whose mouthpieces they were is departed from them? |
6829 | Now even granting that you do, what is the use of knowing what one has to expect, when one can by no possibility take any precautions? |
6829 | Now for the horses and dogs and frogs and fishes: how did you like that kind of thing? |
6829 | Now that ship would not have sailed, without a steersman; and do you suppose that this great universe drifts unsteered and uncontrolled? |
6829 | Now there, madam, you are unreasonable: how can he possibly make a dialogue of it all by himself? |
6829 | Now what good can they get out of it? |
6829 | Now, Hermes, Hera, Athene, what is our course? |
6829 | Now, Syrian: what do you say to that? |
6829 | Now, Toxaris: do you mean to tell me that you people actually_ sacrifice_ to Orestes and Pylades? |
6829 | Now, honestly, Mnesippus, does not that doubt look a little like envy? |
6829 | Now, now: weeping? |
6829 | Now, what do you say to this proposal? |
6829 | Now, what do you think is the way to sharpen your sight?'' |
6829 | Of course you know that? |
6829 | Of these pairs, which do you consider the best? |
6829 | Oh, I see; using stars to steer by, like the Phoenicians? |
6829 | Oh, not_ all_ the altars; what harm do they do, so long as incense and perfume is the worst of it? |
6829 | Oh, yes, no doubt;_ he_ called Apollo rich,''rolling in gold''; but now where will you find Apollo? |
6829 | Or again with the hurry of business-- fiscal-- legal-- military? |
6829 | Or are they passed over in favour of the orators? |
6829 | Or did you put your trust in Artemis? |
6829 | Orders to be issued, treaties to be drawn up, estimates to be formed? |
6829 | Our Menippus a literal godsend from Heaven? |
6829 | Perhaps a trade is more in your way; are you a carpenter or cobbler? |
6829 | Philocles, what_ is_ it that makes most men so fond of a lie? |
6829 | Philosophers caring to sponge? |
6829 | Philosophers? |
6829 | Plato? |
6829 | Possess us; are not we thine own familiars? |
6829 | Pray when are they likely to have time to spare for me? |
6829 | Put on your clothes? |
6829 | Pythagoras has carded and spun? |
6829 | Pythagoras the mistress-- and the mother-- of a Pericles? |
6829 | Reel off the exordium in Homer? |
6829 | Ride or out- ride, shoot or out- shoot? |
6829 | Sacrifice to them? |
6829 | Scant and broken sleep, troubled dreams, perplexities, forebodings? |
6829 | Seriously now, are not these refinements of yours all child''s play-- something for your idle, slack youngsters to do? |
6829 | Shall I proceed, or is the inference clear? |
6829 | Shall an Ethiopian change his skin? |
6829 | Shall we take war time first, and see who will do best for himself and for his city under those conditions? |
6829 | Similarly, if a man involuntarily performed a good action, he would not reward him? |
6829 | So I presume an out- diner is better than a diner? |
6829 | So he came and asked him:''Who, pray, are you, that you should pour scorn upon me?'' |
6829 | So his supplies will never run short? |
6829 | So mighty is the issue; believe me, it behoves us all to search out salvation; and where lies salvation? |
6829 | So sponging is an art, eh? |
6829 | So sponging is an art? |
6829 | So you are a sponger? |
6829 | So, if sponging has all these marks, it must be an art? |
6829 | Solon, did Lycurgus take his whippings at the fighting age, or did he make these spirited regulations on the safe basis of superannuation? |
6829 | Some one tried to make a fool of him by asking, If I burn a hundred pounds of wood, how many pounds of smoke shall I get? |
6829 | Sponging is an old word; what does it really mean? |
6829 | Still busy with vain phantoms, chasing a visionary happiness through your head, that''fleeting''joy, as the poet calls it? |
6829 | Suppose a man commits a crime accidentally: does he punish him just the same? |
6829 | Surely you know, Cyniscus, what punishments await the evil- doers after death, and how happy will be the lot of the righteous? |
6829 | Take an instance: if a man who did not understand navigation took charge of a ship in a stormy sea, would he be safe? |
6829 | Tell me, then, and be damned to you, do you deny that the Gods exercise providence? |
6829 | Than mine? |
6829 | That is how things go on board your ship, sir wiseacre; and who shall count the wrecks? |
6829 | That is not the case; the greater the drain upon it in the course of exercise, the greater the supply; did you ever hear a story about the Hydra? |
6829 | That venerably bearded sexagenarian, with his philosophic leanings? |
6829 | The innocent? |
6829 | The possession of gold the sole happiness? |
6829 | The resentments of courtiers and the machinations of conspirators? |
6829 | The sophist had not had enough;''_ You_ are no infant,''he went on,''but a philosopher, it seems; may one ask what marks the transformation?'' |
6829 | Then when Homer says, for instance, in another place, Lest unto Hell thou go,_ outstripping Fate_, he is talking nonsense, of course? |
6829 | Then when I slew the lion or the Hydra, was I only the Fates''instrument? |
6829 | Then who was I, do you know? |
6829 | Then you have seen the_ Aphrodite_, of course? |
6829 | There are three Fates, are there not,--Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropus? |
6829 | There is a nasty sound about the word sponger, do n''t you think? |
6829 | They were strangers to you: strangers, did I say? |
6829 | This is something like friendship, is it not,--to accept such a bequest as this, and to show such respect for a friend''s last wishes? |
6829 | This was no earthly vision, Lycinus; surely she must have dropped from the clouds.--And what was she doing? |
6829 | To Simon''s? |
6829 | To hear you, one might think it was Polus or Aristodemus, not Zeus; and why, pray, if something of that sort is not bothering you? |
6829 | To run or out- run? |
6829 | To what end the gluing and the trimming, the cedar- oil and saffron, the leather cases and the bosses? |
6829 | Wait a minute: have I ever been changed in this way? |
6829 | Was Democritus alarmed at the ghosts? |
6829 | Was not this advice superfluous, seeing that the end must come? |
6829 | Was your patient a second Epimenides?'' |
6829 | Well now, is the number of friendships to be limited, or does wealth of instances itself constitute one claim to superiority? |
6829 | Well then, you must surely have come on some embarrassing home- truths in that play? |
6829 | Well then: you know your Homer and Hesiod, of course? |
6829 | Well, Cyniscus? |
6829 | Well, Justice: yonder is our road: straight in the line for Sunium, to the foot of Hymettus, taking Parnes on our right; you see those two hills? |
6829 | Well, Pythagoras,--or is there any other name you prefer? |
6829 | Well, Rhetoric, when are you going to begin? |
6829 | Well, and Achilles: was he so much better than other people, or is that all stuff and nonsense? |
6829 | Well, and why did you not copy Lycurgus and whip your young men? |
6829 | Well, but all men-- ay, all nations-- have acknowledged and, feted Gods; was it all delusion? |
6829 | Well, but is the appropriation of what belongs to others no offence? |
6829 | Well, but-- will they come? |
6829 | Well, how shall we manage? |
6829 | Well, never mind; what was she like? |
6829 | Well, the sponger does that; why is he privileged to offend? |
6829 | Well, what am I to do? |
6829 | Well, what is Art? |
6829 | Well, who will dare dispute_ my_ claim? |
6829 | Well, you will let me describe as civil scenes the market, the courts, the wrestling- schools and gymnasia, the hunting field and the dining- room? |
6829 | Well? |
6829 | Were you ever at Cnidus? |
6829 | What about these two charges just brought against a rhetorician? |
6829 | What about this? |
6829 | What about your friend Eucrates? |
6829 | What answer is possible to such ribaldry? |
6829 | What are they? |
6829 | What are we to say they are doing? |
6829 | What are you laughing at, Anacharsis? |
6829 | What can save you then? |
6829 | What can the matter be, then? |
6829 | What can you mean? |
6829 | What could induce me, misguided insect that I was, to leave that life without so much as a grain of gold- dust to supply my needs in this one? |
6829 | What did I tell you, Gods? |
6829 | What do you mean by hounding them against me? |
6829 | What do you say? |
6829 | What do you think of him, Toxaris? |
6829 | What do you think? |
6829 | What else of godlike and sublime was in their conduct? |
6829 | What harm did these men do? |
6829 | What has a refined bewitching orator to do with the vulgar masculine? |
6829 | What impression does one get of the sponger''s actual life, when one compares it with the other? |
6829 | What is a henchman, slaves and friends being excluded? |
6829 | What is it that Pindar says about gold? |
6829 | What is it? |
6829 | What is that? |
6829 | What is the exact contribution to it of dust and summersaults? |
6829 | What is the matter? |
6829 | What is the meaning of this? |
6829 | What is this Providence? |
6829 | What is your idea, now, in all this rolling and unrolling of scrolls? |
6829 | What matter, friend? |
6829 | What need to mention that the most religious race on earth, the Egyptian, never tires of divine names? |
6829 | What say the poets? |
6829 | What shall I do, Zeus? |
6829 | What should he know of the matter? |
6829 | What sort of a dinner was it? |
6829 | What was Tibius doing with those fine great kippers yesterday? |
6829 | What will be the result? |
6829 | What will she make of it, I wonder? |
6829 | What will the defendant have to say to that, I wonder? |
6829 | What will thine utterance be? |
6829 | What, Eucrates, of all credible witnesses? |
6829 | What, Hermes? |
6829 | What, Zeus? |
6829 | What, are all the events we see uncontrolled, then? |
6829 | What, still puzzling over the import of a dream? |
6829 | What, without meat or drink? |
6829 | What, you miscreant, no Gods? |
6829 | What, you turned into a hawk or a crow on the sly? |
6829 | What? |
6829 | When a speaker passes over essential matters in silence, has the court no penalty for him? |
6829 | When any one asks what the art is, how do we describe it? |
6829 | When do you do your reading? |
6829 | When he talks like that, do you take offence and fling the book away, or has_ he_ your licence to expatiate in panegyric? |
6829 | Whence comes this resistless plague among us? |
6829 | Where he tells how the daughter, the brother, and the wife of Zeus conspired to imprison him? |
6829 | Where is my dagger? |
6829 | Where is our handsome musician now? |
6829 | Where is the right thing to be found? |
6829 | Where is your military gymnasium, then? |
6829 | Where shall we go first? |
6829 | Wherefore thus brooding, Zeus? |
6829 | Which is to be first? |
6829 | Which is----? |
6829 | Which one? |
6829 | Which would you take, if you had the choice?-To sail, or to out- sail? |
6829 | Who are they, and what is the extent of their power? |
6829 | Who are you, that you should protest in the Gods''name? |
6829 | Who ever came away from dinner in tears? |
6829 | Who is she, and whence? |
6829 | Who is umpire? |
6829 | Who of womankind shall be compared to her In comeliness, in wit, in goodly works? |
6829 | Who was that? |
6829 | Who will sacrifice to you, if he does not expect to profit by it? |
6829 | Who wins? |
6829 | Who wins? |
6829 | Who would care to do a glorious deed? |
6829 | Who would dare attempt such a thing, with him tasting your food and drink? |
6829 | Who would not despise the city whose guards are such miserable creatures? |
6829 | Who would not go through this amount of preparatory toil, and take his chance of a choking or a dislocation, for apples or parsley? |
6829 | Whom but the wicked? |
6829 | Whom does he punish in particular? |
6829 | Why are you so sorry for me? |
6829 | Why do you smile? |
6829 | Why do your young men behave like this, Solon? |
6829 | Why does not the official there separate them and put an end to it? |
6829 | Why seize upon the rising generation so young, and subject them to such toils? |
6829 | Why that ribald laughter, Momus? |
6829 | Why, Tychiades, what else was Patroclus''s relation to Achilles? |
6829 | Why, have you ever known any one with such a strong natural turn for lying? |
6829 | Why, how would you like it done? |
6829 | Why, if these were ruined, how could the orators ever make another speech, with the best of their stock- in- trade taken from them? |
6829 | Why, now? |
6829 | Why, what means this? |
6829 | Why, what sane man would call sponging a profession? |
6829 | Why, who would believe the story, when I told him that I had it from a cock? |
6829 | Why, you must know Pan, most festive of all Dionysus''s followers? |
6829 | Why? |
6829 | Why? |
6829 | Will Apollo''s answer to the Lydian suit you? |
6829 | Will he be converted there and then into a stalwart, comely warrior, clearing the river at a bound, and staining its waters with Phrygian blood? |
6829 | Will he prove a slayer of Asteropaeuses and Lycaons, and finally of Hectors, he who can not so much as bear Achilles''s spear upon his shoulders? |
6829 | Will she contrive to put all these different types together without their clashing? |
6829 | Will you allow Homer to have been an admirable poet? |
6829 | Will you have it all? |
6829 | Will you never stop? |
6829 | Will you remember to tell Zeus all this? |
6829 | Wind and Scimetar not Gods? |
6829 | With a whirr and a crash Let the levin- bolt dash-- Ah, whither? |
6829 | With fear and suspicion? |
6829 | With whom does it lie to check and remedy this state of things? |
6829 | Would you have me break in? |
6829 | Would_ you_ have stood it, when that fisherman from Oreus stole your trident at Geraestus? |
6829 | Yes, I think you have dealt with that point sufficiently; apart from that, how do you show the inferiority of Philosophy to your art? |
6829 | Yes, you have proved him a good man; but can you show him to have been not Achilles''s friend, but a sponger? |
6829 | Yes? |
6829 | Yes? |
6829 | Yes? |
6829 | Yet begin I will; how can I draw back when she is there? |
6829 | Yet surely nothing could be clearer: who could observe such a man at work, and abstain from the inevitable allusion to pearls and swine? |
6829 | Yet what right have_ I_ to complain? |
6829 | You doubt of that judgement- seat before which every soul is arraigned? |
6829 | You have quite forgotten the way, I suppose, in all this time? |
6829 | You hesitate? |
6829 | You hold toil to be an evil? |
6829 | You know Ion? |
6829 | You know how confident and impressive I always was as a public speaker? |
6829 | You know my neighbour and fellow craftsman, Simon, who supped with me not long since? |
6829 | You leave us nothing, then? |
6829 | You must be jesting, Posidon; you can not have forgotten that we have no say in the matter? |
6829 | You must pluck out the feather first.... What''s this? |
6829 | You retire; you confess yourself beaten, then? |
6829 | You said that there were eunuchs in her train? |
6829 | You tell me, cock, that you have been a king yourself: now how did_ you_ find the life? |
6829 | You will admit that, if the principle of your life is to be pleasure, all your appetites have to be satisfied? |
6829 | You will agree with me that colour and tone have a good deal to do with beauty? |
6829 | You will deny all that too, of course? |
6829 | You will not grudge me that privilege? |
6829 | You would deprive even the Fates of honour? |
6829 | You would have me return to Earth, once more to be driven thence in ignominious flight by the intolerable taunts of Injustice? |
6829 | Your authority for all this, pray? |
6829 | Your jealousy will not take alarm at the prospect of a rival petrifaction at your side? |
6829 | Zeus has sent me down, Pan, to preside in the law- court.--And how do you like Athens? |
6829 | ], and for all these ages has enjoyed the blessings of perfect order in this ancient city? |
6829 | ]: yet I take it that the incompetence of their respective owners will be made clear; am I right? |
6829 | _ Dear sir, was it Apollo sent you here? |
6829 | _ Will you sit in the porch, when there is a_ parvys_ to hand? |
6829 | _"You? |
6829 | a relic from the time of Minos?'' |
6829 | accept the verdict and hold my tongue? |
6829 | and did the vegetables want more rain? |
6829 | and how was night possible in Heaven, with the sun always there taking his share of the good cheer? |
6829 | and the Portico thrown in, with the Miltiades and Cynaegirus on the field of Marathon? |
6829 | and your teeth chattering? |
6829 | and, if so, what else can possibly annoy you but love? |
6829 | are not our joys and our sorrows the same? |
6829 | array their hosts against him? |
6829 | asked Arignotus, scowling upon me;''you deny the existence of the supernatural, when there is scarcely a man who has not seen some evidence of it?'' |
6829 | between_ praeposita_ and_ rejecta_? |
6829 | by what right? |
6829 | could I go yet? |
6829 | destroy all those people for one man''s wickedness? |
6829 | did he call me best of rhetoricians, as when Chaerephon asked and was told who was wisest of his generation? |
6829 | did you like the idea of falling into the sea, and giving us a_ Mare Menippeum_ after the precedent of the_ Icarium_? |
6829 | do you expect it to filter through all the way to Hades? |
6829 | do you take them for Gods? |
6829 | had we suffered much from cold last winter? |
6829 | he exclaimed;''can he not hear at this distance?'' |
6829 | he must be feasted with all pomp and circumstance, and punctually to the day, or his leechship is angry? |
6829 | here on Areopagus I am to give juries to outsiders, who ought to be tried on the other side of the Euphrates? |
6829 | hold a session at once? |
6829 | how big am I? |
6829 | how did I come to leave out so essential a particular? |
6829 | how do you make good men of them? |
6829 | in God''s name, what shall we call_ your_ contribution to progress? |
6829 | is he engaging? |
6829 | is that the trouble? |
6829 | like yourself?'' |
6829 | no Providence? |
6829 | nor again why Socrates was handed over to the Eleven instead of Meletus? |
6829 | of inspired utterances, of voices from the shrine, of the priestess''s prophetic lines? |
6829 | or greater perhaps? |
6829 | or is workmanship to count most? |
6829 | or shall we say next year? |
6829 | or some greater, a mistress of the Fates? |
6829 | or will you grant an appeal? |
6829 | pale? |
6829 | pen a palinode like Stesichorus? |
6829 | people with beards just like mine; sepulchral beings, who are always getting together and jabbering? |
6829 | perhaps, like Hesiod, you received a laurel- branch from the Muses? |
6829 | shall I be able to live with them? |
6829 | shall they let wounds or weariness or discomfort incapacitate them before there is need? |
6829 | so bald, so plain, so prosy an announcement-- on this momentous occasion? |
6829 | that black should_ be_ black, white be white, and red play its blushing part? |
6829 | the eunuch a concubine, the landsman an oar, the pilot a plough? |
6829 | then, Polystratus, I beheld teeth whose whiteness, whose unbroken regularity, who shall describe? |
6829 | they said;''we never saw a coachman spilt; and where are the poplars? |
6829 | what has Dialogue but his cloak? |
6829 | where do you find the source of oracles and prophecies, if not in the Gods and their Providence? |
6829 | where thy city? |
6829 | wherefore apart, And palely pacing, as Earth''s sages use? |
6829 | who thy kin? |
6829 | why am I gibbous? |
6829 | why am I halved? |
6829 | why so vexed? |
6829 | why, do you suppose, if it was true, we would row or tow up stream for sixpences? |
6829 | will he acquit himself creditably? |
6829 | with the schoolroom it is different; or who ever went out to dinner with the dismal expression characteristic of going to school? |
6829 | would his acquisition leave him any wiser than it found him? |
6829 | you do not blush to call yourself a sponger? |
6829 | you doubt that there are punishments and rewards to come? |
