"Despise pleasures: | |||
Pleasure (says Horace) | |||
bought with pain is | |||
noxious" — silliness of | |||
this remark exposed. | |||
J. F. C. | |||
Sperne voluptates (says Horace): <gap/> <gap/> dolem | |||
voluptues Despise pleasures: pleasure bought with pain is | |||
noxious Silly enough all this: <gap/> <gap/> France but, as paper is of a <gap/>, | |||
sounds, when mix with a small admixture of good sense it is <gap/> <gap/> | |||
<gap/> is by general consent, received as made to pass for an equivalent for | |||
pain <gap/>, since: [as in the small money of France, brass or copper base metal | |||
with a small alloy of silver is received as an equivalent | |||
for silver with a small alloy of the base metal. | |||
If pleasure is a proper object of contempt, what is it | |||
that is the proper object of esteem? pain or apathy? Pleasure | |||
bou paid for by pain is a bad bargain: says the | |||
philosopher with in his fool's cap scratching his head for | |||
jingle: just as if, at a party, a man you know nothing | |||
of were to come to you and say, "Sir, you pay too dear | |||
for your sugar," not knowing what you pay for your sugar, | |||
any more than when you buy it. In the one verse | |||
may be seen the ascetic principle and the greatest happiness | |||
principle breathed out come one with the same breath. "Despise pleasure" | |||
is pure asceticism put pure you may call it whether it | |||
is <gap/> a Frenchman you are speaking to or to an Englishman, pleasure paid | |||
for in pain is noxious, has at bottom a spice, of utilitarianism, though made | |||
by stale water made up into this maukish draught. | |||

Horace no ascetic. | |||
J. F. C. | |||
Not that <gap/> in his own composition Horace had any | |||
