CLXXXIV

On all occasions these thoughts should be at hand:—

Lead me, O God, and Thou, O Destiny,

Be what it may the goal appointed me,

Bravely I’ll follow; nay, and if I would not,

I’d prove a coward, yet must follow still!

Again:

Who to Necessity doth bow aright,

Is learn’d in wisdom and the things of God.Once more:

Crito, if this be God’s will, so let it be. As for me, Anytus and Meletus can indeed put me to death, but injure me, never!
