LIFE AND WORKS OF GOETHE
"Κωμωδοδιδασκαλίαν εἲναι χαλεπώτατον ἔργον ἁρπάτων,
Πολλῶν γὰρ δὴ πειρασάντων αὑτὴν ὀλίγοις χαρίσασθαι."[1]
Which I will venture to turn thus:
"Miss Comedy is a sad flirt,—you may guess
From the number who court her, the few she doth bless."
- ↑ Aristophanes, "Equites," v. 516.
