," surprises any one, he may take my word for it that with the
daily or hourly occurrence of perils which must betide him, his
wonderment will diminish; as also with the clearer recognition of the
fact that in time of war the antagonists are full of designs against
each other, but the precise issue of these plots and counterplots is
rarely known. To what counsellor, then, can a man apply for advice in
his extremity save only to the gods, who know all things and forewarn
whomsoever they will by victims or by omens, by voice or vision? Is it
not rational to suppose that they will prefer to help in their need,
not those who only seek them in time of momentary stress and trouble,
but those rather who in the halcyon days of their prosperity make a
practice of rendering to Heaven the service of heart and soul?
