[Article on a wise ruler; Alexander taken as example:] Alexander knew not what it was even to amuse in trifles; his hours were dedicated to wise and manly exercises, except his love of music, in which it is said he excelled. But he soon discarded the instrument of harmony on a reproof from his tutor, that Princes should not divert their time with performances suited only to their slaves for their amusement. . . |
