Some people tell us it is not right to indulge a taste for hunting�察�lest it

devoted to domestic duties。 If lovers of the chase pre´ eminently fit

domestic fortunes of each are saved or lost。 The real fact is�察�these men are
saviours�察�not of their own fortunes only�察�but of the private fortunes of the
rest�察�of yours and mine。 Yet there are not a few irrational people amongst
these cavillers who�察 �out of jealousy�察 �would rather perish�察 �thanks to their
own baseness�察 �than owe their lives to the virtue of their neighbours。 So

And this has been proved conclusively by a notable example。 If we
look back to the men of old who sat at the feet of Cheironwhose names I
mentionedwe see that it was by dedicating the years of their youth to the
chase��23�А�that they learnt all their noble lore�察�and therefrom they attained
to great renown�察�and are admired even to this day for their virtuevirtue
who numbers all men as her lovers�察�as is very plain。 Only because of the
pains it costs to win her the greater number fall away�察�for the achievement
of her is hid in obscurity�察�while the pains that cleave to her are manifest。
Perchance�察 �if only she were endowed with a visible bodily frame�察 �men
would less have neglected her�察�knowing that even as she is visible to them�察�
so they also are not hid from her eyes。 For is it not so that when a man
moves in the presence of him whom he dearly loves�撮�24�А �he rises to a
height above himself�察 �being incapable of aught base or foul in word or
deed in sight of him�殖�25�А �But fondly dreaming that the eye of virtue is
closed to them�察�they are guilty of many a base thing and foul before her
very face�察�who is hidden from their eyes。 Yet she is present everywhere�察�
being dowered with immortality�察 �and those who are perfect in
goodness��26�А�she honours�察�but the wicked she thrusts aside from honour。
If only men could know that she regards them�察 �how eagerly would they
rush to the embrace of toilful training and tribulation�撮�27�А�by which alone
she is hardly taken�察�and so should they gain the mastery over her�察�and she
should be laid captive at their feet。

Now what astonishes me in the ;sophists�察─ �as they are called�撮�1�А �is�察�
that though they profess�察 �the greater part of them�察 �to lead the young to
virtue�察�they really lead them in the opposite direction。 Never have we set
eyes on the man anywhere who owed his goodness to the sophists of to´
day。��2�А�Nor do their writings contain anything��3�А�calculated to make men
good�察 �but they have written volumes on vain and frivolous subjects�察 �in
which the young may find pleasures that pall�察�but the essence of virtue is
not in them。 The result of this literature is to inflict unncessary waste of
time on those who look to learn something from it all and look in vai
