themselves
and fled, whom the other
pursued, but not far, because it grew towards evening, but returned to

were no less than fourscore islands drowned.

I should now say very much for your most obliging
commands
to
me, to write, and should beg frequent letters from your Ladyship with
all possible importunity, and should by command from my _Lucasia_
excuse her last rudeness (as she calls it) in giving you account of
her honour for you under her own hand, but I must beg your pardon now,
and out-believing all, I can say upon every one of these accounts, for
really, madam, you cannot tell how to imagine any person more to any
one, than I am,
_Madam,
Your Ladyship's
most faithful servant,
and passionate friend_,
ORINDA

Such objects are not "ours," Epictetus reminds us, not only because they are di erent om us, but above all because they belong to Destiny and to God, who are ee to take them back a er they have given them to us (III, 24, 84):
When you become attached to something, do not do so as to an object that cannot be taken away om you, but as ifit were some thing like a pot or a glass cup, so that, if it is broken, when you
remember
what it was, you will not be disturbed .

The speeches that are put into the
heroes’
mouths,
their thoughts and designs--the chief of all this must be invention, and
