Hermes

But when you go on your own feet, how can a blind man like you find the way? Zeus sends you to people who he thinks deserve riches; but how do you distinguish them?

Plutus

Do you suppose I do find them? not much. I should scarcely have passed Aristides by, and gone to Hipponicus, Callias, and any number of other Athenians whose merits could have been valued in copper.

Hermes

Well, but what do you do when he sends you?

Plutus

I just wander up and down till I come across some one; the first comer takes me off home with him, and thankswhom but the God of windfalls, yourself?
