The Follies of Men

Walter Savage Landor, "Menander and Epicurus, Second Conversation," Imaginary Conversations, Vol. I (London: J.M. Dent & Co., 1891), pp. 272-281 (at 279):
Epicurus. I suspect, my good Menander, that you enjoy the follies of men in our rotten State as flies enjoy fruit in its decay.

Menander. What can we do with such men as those about us better than laugh at them?
