You impressed upon me that it is easy to preach you; if I preserve the character of my discourse what else is necessary? Do not fail to support the system you have established; will you turn your generous self into a feeble wretch? If a man’s resolution is really fixed, how can he depart from it? If a man does so he is called no more valiant, but feeble. Tuka says, What fault can you find with me now? I will purge away that fault with one word.
