Thou, what is foreign to mankind, abjure.—D'Israeli.


Bato.[146] (Book iii. § 61, p. 171.)

Father. Thou hast destroy'd the morals of my son,

And turn'd his mind, not so disposed, to vice,

Unholy pedagogue! With morning drams,

A filthy custom, which he caught from thee,

Clean from his former practice, now he saps

His youthful vigour. Is it thus you school him?

Sophist. And if I did, what harms him? Why complain you?
