Note 252 — Chapter XI

Ad Att., lib.ii., 5: Αἰδέομαι Τρῶας καὶ Τρωάδας ἑλκεσιπέπλους.—Il., vi., 442. "I fear what Mrs. Grundy would say of me," is Mr. Tyrrell's homely version. Cicero's mind soared, I think, higher when he brought the words of Hector to his service than does the ordinary reference to our old familiar critic.
