[99] Taken from the Orestes of Euripides, i. 140.
[100] This is parodied from Hom. Od. iv. 611. Pope’s version, l. 831.
[101] This is referring to the Stoic doctrine ridiculed by Horace:
Si dives qui sapiens est,
Et sutor bonus, et solus formosus, et est Rex
Cur optas quod habes?—Hor. Sat. i. 130.
Which may be translated:—
If every man is rich who’s wise,
A cobbler too beyond all price;
A handsome man, and eke a king;
