And I have heard Aeschylus saying:--

"He who is happy ought to stay at home;

There should he also stay, who speeds not well."

And Euripides, too, shouting the like on the stage:--

"Happy the man who, prosperous, stays at home."

Menander, too, on comedy, saying:--

"He ought at home to stay, and free remain,

Or be no longer rightly happy."

Again, Theognis having said:--

"The exile has no comrade dear and true,"--

Euripides has written:--

"Far from the poor flies every friend."
