who feign anger,
sulk in mock sleep,
and give ear
to the other’s halting sighs,
who’s the winner?”

“I have heard, in such a way as to believe it, of your recently saying that both the Army and the Government needed a Dictator. Of course it was not for this, but in spite of it, that I have given you the command. Only those generals who gain success, can set up dictators.”
