     With regard to methods of procedure in the hunting´field�察�enough has 

been said。��1�А�But there are many benefits which the enthusiastic sportsman 

may expect to derive from this pursuit。��2�А�I speak of the health which will 

thereby accrue to the physical frame�察�the quickening of the eye and ear�察�the 

defiance of old age�察�and last�察�but not least�察�the warlike training which it 

ensures。 To begin with�察�when some day he has to tramp along rough ways 

under arms�察�the heavy infantry soldier will not faint or flaghe will stand 

the toil from being long accustomed to the same experiences in capturing 

wild beasts。 In the next place�察�men so trained will be capable of sleeping 

on hard couches�察�and prove brave guardians of the posts assigned them。 In 

the actual encounter with the enemy�察�they will know at once how to attack 

and to carry out the word of command as it passes along the lines�察�because 

it was just so in the old hunting days that they captured the wild game。 If 

posted     in  the  van   of  battle�察 �they   will  not   desert   their  ranks�察  �because 

endurance is engrained in them。 In the rout of the enemy their footsteps 

will not falter nor fail�此�straight as an arrow they will follow the flying foe�察�

on every kind of ground�察�through long habituation。��3�А�Or if their own army 

encounter      a   reverse   on    wooded     and    precipitous    ground     beset   with 

difficulties�察�these will be the men to save themselves with honour and to 

extricate   their   friends�察  �since   long   acquaintance   with   the   business   of   the 

chase has widened their intelligence。��4�А�

     It was through knowledge that they owed success against their foes to 

such   a   training�察  �that   our   own   forefathers   paid   so   careful   a   heed   to   the 

young。��9�А     �Though      they   had   but   a  scant   supply    of   fruits�察 �it  was   an 

immemorial   custom   ;not   to   hinder��10�А  �the   hunter   from   hunting   any   of 

earth's offspring;�察�and in addition�察 �not to hunt by night��11�А�within many 

furlongs of the city�察─�in order that the adepts in that art might not rob the 

young lads of their game。 They saw plainly that among the many pleasures 

to   which    youth    is  prone�察  �this  one   alone   is  productive     of  the   greatest 

blessings。 In other words�察�it tends to make them sound of soul and upright�察�

being trained in the real world of actual things��12�А。�and�察�as was said before�察�

our   ancestors   could   not   but   perceive   they   owed   their   success   in   war   to 

such instrumentality��13�ВВ察  �and   the   chase   alone deprives   them  of   none   of 

the other fair and noble pursuits that they may choose to cultivate�察�as do 

those other evil pleasures�察�which ought never to be learned。 Of such stuff 

are    good   soldiers    and   good    generals    made。��14�А    �Naturally�察   �those   from 

whose souls and bodies the sweat of toil has washed all base and wanton 

thoughts�察�who have implanted in them a passion for manly virtuethese�察�I 

say�察�are the true nobles。��15�А�Not theirs will it be to allow their city or its 

sacred soil to suffer wrong。
