RV 191 (Chap. 24.) a one will neither exert his Desires, nor Aversions, nor Pursuits, conformably to Nature: he will neither intend, nor assent, nor deny, nor suspend, his Judgment, conformably to Nature: but will wander up and down, intirely deaf and blind, supposing himself to be somebody ; while he is in reality, nobody. Is there any thing new, in all this? Is not this Ignorance the Cause of all the Errors that have happened, from the very Original of Mankind? Why did Agamemnon and Achilles differ? Was it not for want of knowing what is advantageous, what disadvantageous? Doth not one of them say, It is advantageous to restore Chryseis to her Father; the other, That it is not? Doth not one say, That he ought to take away the Prize of the other; the other, that he ought not? Did they not, by these means, forget who they were, and for what Purpose they had come there? Why, what did you come for, Man: to gain a Mistress, or to fight?"To fight."With whom? With the Trojans, or Greeks?"With the Trojans."Leaving Hector, then, do you draw your Sword upon your own King? And do you, good Sir, forgetting the Duties of a King,

go to squabbling, about a Girl, with the bravest of your Allies; whom you ought, by every Method, to conciliate and preserve? And will you be inferior to a subtle Priest, who pays his Court, with the utmost Care, to you fine Gladiators?You see the Effects, which Ignorance of what is advantageous, produces."But I am rich [you may say], as well as other People."What, richer than Agamemnon?"But I am handsome too."
