v.3.p.6
could recover his property, if he would call upon Demonax and give particulars of the weight, material, and workmanship. A handsome young exquisite came, professing to have lost it. The philosopher soon saw that it was a got-up story; Ah, my boy,’ he said, you will do very well, if you lose your other charms as little as you have lost this one.’
