So winsome a creature is it, that to note the whole of the proceedings
from the start--the quest by scent, the find, the pack in pursuit full
cry, the final capture--a man might well forget all other loves.[57]

Here it should be added that the sportsman, who finds himself on
cultivated lands, should rigidly keep his hands off the fruits of the
season, and leave springs and streams alone. To meddle with them is
ugly and base, not to speak of the bad example of lawlessness set to
the beholder. During the close season[58] all hunting gear should be
taken down and put away.

say. See some remarks on S. 34 in "Hellenica Essays," "Xenophon,"
p. 349.
