For my part, Simonides, said Hiero in answer to this, I cannot say how a
						despot could have any sensations apart from those you have mentioned. So
						far, therefore, I fail to see that the despot’s life differs in any respect
						from the citizen’s. In this respect it does differ, said Simonides: the pleasures it
						experiences by means of these various organs are infinitely greater in
						number, and the pains it undergoes are far fewer. 
					 
					 It is not so, Simonides, retorted Hiero; I assure you far fewer pleasures
						fall to despots than to citizens of modest means, and many more and much
						greater pains. 
					 
					 Incredible! exclaimed Simonides.
