was grown wise, by conversing with many wise Men; I have conversed too, answered somebody, with many rich Men, but I am not grown

rich.

V.

Socrates, being sent for by + Archelaus, as designing to make him a rich Man, returned him this Answer: "Four Quarts of Meal are sold at Athens for five Farthings, and the Fountains run with Water. If what I have is not sufficient for me, yet I am sufficiently able to make a shift with that; and thus it becomes sufficient for me. Do not you perceive, that it makes no Difference in the Goodness of Polus [the Player's] Voice, whether he performs the Part of Oedipus in his regal State, or when he is a Wanderer, and a Beggar at Colonus? And shall a brave Man appear worse than Polus, and not perform well in whatever Personage is imposed

*Stobæus, Compar. Paupertatis & Divitiarum. Serm. 237. p. 778.

† Archelaus, the Philosopher, was the Master of Socrates: but the Person heré mentioned was King of Macedon, who vainly endeavoured to get Socrates to his Court. The Envy of Aristophanes upon this occasion is said to have produced that infamous Piece of Scurrility and Buffoonery his Comedy of the Clouds. See Bayle, in the Article Archelaus.

VI.

There are some Persons who are calmly of
à high spirit, and do all the same things
quietly, and as it were without Anger, which
those do who are hurried with strong Passion.
We are to guard, therefore, against the Faults
of such Persons, as being much worse than
that of violent Anger. For People of the
latter Character are quickly satiated with
Vengeance; whereas the others extend it to
a longer Time, like Persons in a slow Fever.
