Xénophon (b.c

1. 25. so7t vengeur, allusion to Xenophon's Memorahilia, a defence of Socrates.

1. 26. tradui for traduis, on account of the rhyme : see Le vieux célibataire, p. 96, 1. 371. Note, however, that tradui is really the better spelling cf the two, being derived from the L. traduco. The first person singular never had a final s in Latin, consequently a7no, credo, video, venio became respectively in old Yïsxiz\ifaime,jecroi,jevoi,jevien; in like manner traduco formedyV tradui.
