Does that surprise you, Lysander? asked Cyrus in reply.
 I swear by the Sun-god that I never yet sat down to
 dinner when in sound health, without first working
 hard at some task of war or agriculture, or exerting
 myself somehow. Lysander himself
 declared, I should add, that on hearing this, he
 congratulated him in these words: I think you
 deserve your happiness, Cyrus, for you earn it by
 your virtues.
