One telling Socrates that such a one was nothing improved by his travels: "I very well believe it," said he, "for he took himself along with him" "Quid terras alio calentes Sole mutamus? patriae quis exsul Se quoque fugit?" Who is the man that by fleeing from his country, can also flee from himself?"
A sympathy for them must have been deep in the gentle philosopher of the garden: O male deuoti, praetorum crimina, agelli! Tuque inimica pii semper discordia ciuis. Exsul ego indemnatus egens mea rura reliqui, Miles ut accipiat funesti praemia belli. Hinc ego de tumulo mea rura nouissima uisam, Hinc ibo in siluas: obstabunt iam mihi colles, Obstabunt montes, campos audire licebit.

"Telephus et Peleus, quum pauper et exsul uterque, Projicit ampullas et sesquipedalia verba"? Was this to prove that he recognized a wandering prince in his opponent? thought Malcolm; but, much on his guard, he made answer, as usual, in his native tongue. 'That which is not touched and held is but a vain and fleeting shadow "solvitur in nube."
