VIIL 178.
Digitized by VjOOQLC ACCORDING TO EPICUBUS. 185 accompany with Lais or drink Ariusian wine, than to des- patch Archias and restore the Thebans to their liberties ?
For my part I believe none would. For I see that even common sword-players, if they are not utter brutes and sav- ages, but Greek born, when they are to enter the list, though there be many and very costly dishes set before them, yet take more content in employing their time in commending their poor wives to some of their f...riends, yea, and in conferring freedom on their slaves, than in gratify- ing their stomachs. But should the pleasures of the body be allowed to have some extraordinary matter in them, this would yet be common to men of action and business.
For they can eat good meat, and red wine drink,* aye, and entertain themselves with their friends, and per- haps with a greater relish too, after their engagements and hard services, — as did Alexander and Agesilaus, and (by Jove) Phocion and Epaminondas too, — than these gentle- men who anoint themselves by the fireside, and are gin- gerly rocked about the streets in sedans.
