In one day built Anchialus and Tarsus.
Eat, drink, and love; the rest's not worth a fillip."[10]
Sal. A worthy moral, and a wise inscription,

Sar. Oh, thou wouldst have me doubtless set up edicts—
"Obey the king—contribute to his treasure—
Recruit his phalanx—spill your blood at bidding—
Fall down and worship, or get up and toil."
Or thus—"Sardanapalus on this spot
Slew fifty thousand of his enemies.260
