for_o since_o she_o have_v so_o late_o see_v his_o princess_n he_o can_v talk_v of_o nothing_o else_o and_o it_o be_v so_o great_a a_o pleasure_n to_o he_o to_o talk_v with_o one_o who_o have_v so_o

after_o he_o have_v present_v anacharsis_n unto_o she_o and_o tell_v she_o of_o silamis_n who_o she_o say_v come_v the_o day_n before_o he_o beseech_v she_o to_o judge_n whether_o solon_n and_o all_o

the_o athenian_n reply_v onesile_n have_v a_o reputation_n of_o such_o excellent_a wit_n as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o whatsoever_o they_o think_v worthy_a of_o remembrance_n certain_o

unto_o he_o what_o i_o then_o say_v unto_o he_o seem_v then_o so_o unreasonable_a that_o there_o must_v needs_o happen_v some_o great_a change_n before_o he_o can_v change_v his_o opinion_n such_o a_o change_n have_v happen_v at_o athens_n reply_v silamis_n that_o you_o need_v not_o wonder_v he_o shall_v change_v his_o opinion_n &_o that_o he_o shall_v see_v that_o you_o know_v better_a than_o he_o do_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o people_n who_o he_o pretend_v to_o govern_v by_o the_o sole_a authority_n of_o his_o law_n truth_n be_v sir_n reply_v anacharsis_n then_o that_o see_v what_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o athenian_n be_v and_o also_o consider_v all_o the_o man_n in_o general_a i_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o a_o man_n so_o wise_a as_o solon_n who_o well_o enough_o know_v the_o impetuosity_n of_o all_o passion_n which_o disorder_n the_o life_n of_o man_n and_o who_o also_o know_v how_o audacious_a and_o stupid_a the_o multitude_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v pretend_v to_o establish_v order_n among_o so_o great_a a_o people_n and_o to_o make_v concord_n and_o virtue_n reign_v among_o they_o only_o by_o his_o law_n so_o that_o when_o he_o allege_v unto_o i_o his_o law_n as_o remedy_n against_o all_o the_o evil_n of_o his_o country_n ah_o solon_n say_v i_o and_o look_v earnest_o upon_o he_o law_n be_v but_o ingenious_a net_n which_o catch_v the_o little_a fly_n and_o let_v the_o great_a one_o escape_v be_v easy_o break_v by_o force_n so_o that_o i_o do_v foresee_v by_o all_o the_o certain_a conjecture_n that_o science_n can_v give_v that_o weak_a one_o only_o observe_v law_n and_o strong_a one_o break_v they_o and_o at_o last_o bring_v they_o unto_o such_o a_o contemptible_a condition_n as_o they_o be_v keep_v by_o none_o unless_o the_o law_n of_o arm_n and_o fear_v compel_v they_o to_o be_v observe_v more_o than_o justice_n can_v i_o wonder_v not_o at_o all_o say_v cyrus_n that_o these_o word_n shall_v be_v remember_v and_o as_o for_o my_o part_n i_o shall_v never_o forget_v they_o doubtless_o say_v the_o princess_n onesile_n they_o be_v most_o worthy_a to_o be_v remember_v and_o the_o more_o reply_v silamis_n because_o the_o event_n do_v show_v that_o anacharsis_n be_v in_o the_o right_n for_o true_o the_o law_n of_o solon_n be_v very_o ill_o observe_v in_o his_o absence_n and_o since_o his_o return_n thing_n be_v grow_v into_o such_o

pardon_v i_o sir_n reply_v silamis_n but_o i_o can_v tell_v whether_o solon_n be_v his_o or_o no_o though_o he_o see_v he_o sometime_o and_o give_v he_o counsel_n this_o seem_v to_o i_o reply_v

however_o though_o those_o who_o be_v most_o zealous_a for_o liberty_n do_v call_v he_o the_o tyrant_n of_o athens_n yet_o i_o must_v needs_o affirm_v he_o to_o be_v a_o man_n of_o as_o much_o merit_n
