I can produce the books, if you should deny it; but I am not now reproving you for referring all things to the standard of pleasure: that is another question.

Oh, wretched I, to whom this mischance is happened! nay, happy I, to whom this thing being happened, I can continue without grief; neither wounded by that which is present, nor in fear of that which is to come.
