Note 49 — Chapter II · THE MARRIED WOMAN
George Herbert Ely translation
“I affirm not but I may one day be drawn to such fond opinions, and yield my life and health to the mercy, discretion, and regimen of physicians,” says Montaigne. “I may haply fall into this fond madness; I cannot answer for my future constancy. But even then, if any ask me how I do, I may answer him as did Pericles, ‘You may judge by that.’” (Bk. II. chap, xxxvii.)
