that feeds upon himself and his own thoughts ? that monopolizes health, wealth, power, dignity, and all to himself? that loves no man, nor is beloved of any ? that has the impudence to tax even divine providence of ill contrivance, and proudly grudges, nay, tramples under foot all other men's reputation ; and this is he that is the Stoic's perfectly wise man.
But prithee, what city would choose such a magistrate?
THE PRAISE OF FOLLY. 107 what army would be willing to serve under such a com- man...der? or what woman would be content with such an incompetent husband. Who would invite such a guest? or what servant would be retained under such a master ? The most illiterate mechanic would in all respects be a more acceptable man, for he would be frolicsome with his wife, free with his friends, jovial at a feast, pliable in converse, and obliging to all company.
But I am tired out with this part of my subject, and so must pass to other topics.
And now were any one placed on that tower, from whence Jove is fancied by the poets to survey the world, he would discern all around how many grievances and calamities our whole life is on every side encompassed with : how unclean our birth, how troublesome our tend- ance in the cradle, how liable our childhood is to a thou- sand misfortunes, how toilsome and full of drudgery our riper years, how heavy and uncomfortable our old age, and lastly, how unwelcome the unavoidableness of death.
