nly not. For besides being happier in that world than in
this, they will be immortal, if what is said is true.

5. Wherefore, O judges, be of good cheer about death, and know this of
a truth--that no evil can happen to a good man, either in life or
after death. He and his are not neglected by the gods; nor has my own
approaching end happened by mere chance. But I see clearly that to die
and be released was better for me; and therefore the oracle gave no
sign. For which reason, also, I am not angry with my accusers or my
condemners; they have done me no harm, although neither of them meant
to do me any good; and for this I may gently blame them.

6. Still I have a favour to ask of them. When my sons are grown up, I
would ask you, O my friends, to punish them and I would have you
trouble them, as I have troubled you, if they seem to care about
riches, or anything, more than about virtue; or if they pretend to be
something when they are really nothing,--then reprove them, as I have
reproved you, for not caring about that for which they ought to care,
and thinking that they are something when they are really nothing. And
if you do this, I and my sons will have received justice at your
hands.

7. The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways--I to die,
and you to live. Which is better God only knows.

--_Benjamin Jowett_

Illustrate from this extract the general principle that
incompleteness is expressed by means of the Rising, and
completeness by means of the Falling Inflection.

Par. 1. FOR NEITHER IN WAR NOR YET AT LAW ... DEATH.
Explain the Inflection placed on this negative
statement. Give a similar example from Par. 2.

I MUST ABIDE BY MY AWARD ... LET THEM ABIDE BY THEIRS.
Explain the opposite Inflections on antithetical words
and phrases. If one part of the antithesis is a
negation, what is the Inflection? (Introduction, pp. 19
and 20.) Give examples from Par. 2.

I AM OLD AND MOVE SLOWLY ... WRONG. Explain the Emphasis
in these sentences. Which one of a pair of contrasted
words is necessarily emphatic? Give examples from this
and the following paragraph, in which both are emphatic,
and explain why. (Introduction, pp. 30-32.)

Par. 4. Explain the Inflection on the questions.
(Introduction, pp. 18 and 19.)

What clauses in this paragraph are really parenthetical
in force? How does the voice subordinate them? Give
similar examples from other parag
