Cato. Act iv. Sc. 4.
What a pity is it
That we can die but once to save our country!
Cato. Act iv. Sc. 4.
When vice prevails, and impious men bear sway,
The post of honour is a private station.[298:1]
Cato. Act iv. Sc. 4.
It must be so,—Plato, thou reasonest well!
Else whence this pleasing hope, this fond desire,
This longing after immortality?
