Yet I think casual readers too may find my essay not unserviceable, since it is not only destructive, but, for men of sense, constructive also. Lycinus. Crato Ly. Here are heavy charges, Crato; I suppose you have been getting up this subject for some time.
And here is reason about to talk more masterfully still, you will see; but I suppose you will exonerate it, and blame me. Her. What can it be? I am surprised to hear it still has anything in reserve. Ly. It says that seeing and going through all philosophies will not suffice, if you want to choose the best of them; the most important qualification is still missing. Her. Indeed? Which? Ly.
I know now whom you mean, as well from your description as from her nationality. You said that there were eunuchs in her train? Ly. Yes; and soldiers too. Poly. My simple friend, the lady you have been describing is a celebrity, and possesses the affections of an Emperor. Ly. And her name? Poly. Ly. Yes; and every time I read it, it is as if she stood before me.
God forbid! these are words of ill omen, Lycinus; may life be granted me, that I may grow wise, and have if it be but one day of Happiness! Ly. For all these toils will you be content with your one day? Her. Content? yes, or with the briefest moment of it. Ly. But is there indeed Happiness up there and worth all the pains? How can you tell? You have never been up yourself. Her.
How can you tell that its holder is the bye till you have been all round and found no counterpart to it? for you could not tell by the alphabetical order, as at Olympia. Her. A difficult question. Ly. Look at the same thing another way. Suppose we put no letters at all on the lots, but, instead of them, signs and marks such as the Egyptians use for letters, men with dogs' or lions' heads.
Shore 11/4 miles above the mouth of a small creek which we named Corvus, in consequence of having kiled a beatiful bird of that genus near it we concluded to ly by at this place the ballance of this day and the next, in order to dry our baggage which was wet by the heavy showers of rain which had fallen within the last three days, and also to lighten the boat by transfering a part of her lading to the red perogue, which we now determined to take on with us to our winter residence wherever that might be; while some of the men were imployed in this necessary labour others were dressing of skins washing and mending their cloaths &c.
Children show in many little ways how natural it is to be mechanical. For instance, rather than think the ideas adverb and present active participle, they will recognize words ending in ly as adverbs, and those ending in ing as present active participles.
The adverbs in -ly are likely to go to the wall in the not too distant future for this very reason and in face of their obvious usefulness. Another instance of the sacrifice of highly useful forms to this impatience of nuancing is the group whence, whither, hence, hither, thence, thither.
Ly. Thanks, Lexiphanes; enough of drink and reading. I assure you I am full beyond my capacity as it is; if I do not succeed in quickly unloading my stomach of what you have put into it, there is not a doubt I shall go raving mad under the intoxication of your exuberant verbosity.
And even if that is generally admitted, they do not all agree that it was gold; and if it is well known that a gold cup is missing, and you find a gold cup on your first man, even so you are not quit of searching the others; it is not clear that this is the sacred cup; do you suppose there is only one gold cup in the world? Her. No, indeed. Ly.
