Note 26 — Chapter XV · THE FRAGMENTS OF ÆSCHYLUS, SOPHOCLES, AND EURIPIDES.

Money makes friends for men, and heaps up honors, And sets them on the tyrant's hated throne: Wealth finds no foes, or none but covert foes, Climbs pathless ways, and treads where tracks are beaten; While poor men, what luck gives them, may not use: A misshaped body, an ill-sounding name, Wealth turns by words to beauty, gifts with wisdom; For wealth alone hath privilege of freedom In joy and sickness, and can hide its sorrow.
