A Poetical Translation Of The Fables of Phaedrus | ||
FABLE X. The Eunuch and Wicked Fellow.
An Eunuch, upon some dispute,Was wrangling with a noisy brute,
Who with bad words and much offence,
Urg'd his privation—“'Tis from thence
“(Says he) that I must leisure find
“The more to cultivate my mind,
“Because my mortal part is maim'd—
“But why is my misfortune blam'd?
“That only is disgrace in grain,
“Which men by their demerit gain.”
