130 Or, "in this strong aspiration after honour." Holden aptly cf. "Spectator," No. 467: "The love of praise is a passion deeply fixed in the mind of every extraordinary person; and those who are most affected with it seem most to partake of that particle of the divinity which distinguishes mankind from the inferior creation."

131 alogous, i.e. "without speach and reason"; cf. modern Greek o alogos = the horse (sc. the animal par excellence). See "Horsemanship," viii. 14.

132 ede, "ipso facto."

133 See "Anab." I. vii. 4; Frotscher ap. Breit. cf. Cic. "ad Fam." v. 17. 5, "ut et hominem te et virum esse meminisses."

134 Or, "joyance."

135 Or, "the compliance of cold lips where love is not reciprocated is . . ."

136 Or, "to rank injustice."

137 Lit. "Honours would seem to be the outcome and expression of conditions utterly remote from these, in fact their very opposites."

138 Cf. Napoleon's accost of Goethe, "Vous etes un homme," and "as Goethe left the room, Napoleon repeated to Berthier and Daru, 'Voila un homme!'" ("The Life of Goethe," Lewes, p. 500).

139 Reading koines, which ought to mean "common to them and him"; if with Cobet koine, "in public crown him for his virtue's sake, a benefactor."

140 Or, "without reproach."

141 Cf. "Econ." xi. 1.

142 Or, "if to monarchise and play the despot."

143 Holden aptly cf. Plut. "Sol." 14, kalon men einai ten torannida khorion, ouk ekhein de apobasin, "it was true a tyrrany was a very fair spot, but it had no way down from it" (Clough, i. p. 181).

144 Or, "how undergo in his own person the imprisonments he has inflicted?" Reading antipaskhoi, or if antiparaskhoi, transl. "how could he replace in his own person the exact number of imprisonments which he has inflicted on others?"

145 Or, "nought more profitable to meet the case." The author plays on lusitelei according to his wont.
