J.B. to Greek Legislature
+
2
Chosen
Kur Kurios Bentham indeed? — Legislators! To
others as you please: but to me, as you love me, no more Kurios.[+]
It suits not many such eyes see Eyes such as mine shrink from it glare of legitimacy is too so strong so from it[+]
Doulos — Oh yes! when you speak to me add but emsasros to it, or
as you now say pias — this is may strictly true I have already merited; this,
if from you would be my most honorable title. If it be to do so be in the
power of labour to it do so, no hired servant ever
deserved merited it better; as the hands of a made a
unless, by the pleasure of such service attached to it which so intimately combined with it the merit, as in the
case of some certain casuists it would, be distressed by it annihilated.
The pleasure is of the member of these
which, so far from failure are
continually on the increase. How should it fail to be
so? Seventy years ago I devoted myself to the service
of mankind: and now at length — for by you am I
enabled — now at length am I occupied in the nor yet altogether without prospect of success,
performance of this service do I behold myself occupied
in the performance of this vow.
[+] Common as it the word is, there
is a glare of legitimacy
upon it that hurts my eyes.
Give it
to my Imperial correspondent
— give it to
the Autoeratos
the modern Alexander;
from him peradventure you may
have a nod of thanks
for it: but, in this case,
as you will may love your
labour, you must put it should be in thy
superlative stretched
out into sublimated into
Kuriotatos.
