Manes os that favourite Officer the whole Nation os the
Chileans, Men, Women, and Children, who were entirely
innocent of his Death; because you had read in Homer, that
Achilles had immolated some Trojan Captives on the Tomb
ofPatroclus. I could mention other Proofs that your Paihons
inhamed you as much as Wine; but these are 1'utRcient.
ALEXANDER.
I can't deny that my Paihons were sometimes sb violent *s
to deprive me for a while the Ute of my Reaion ; eipeci-

you, there was an Excels and Intemperance in your Virtues,
which turned them all into Vices. And one Virtue you want-
