[00:01.572]Come, master,
[00:02.794]observe the host of mankind.
[00:06.558]How are they? wretched.
[00:09.674]Why? because they are not free.
[00:13.707]Why? because the giddy multitude are driven
[00:18.411]by the unpredictable "Must" of their pleasures.
[00:24.463]And the sober few are bound
[00:28.322]by the inflexible "Ought"
[00:30.960]of their duty.
[00:33.402]Between which slaveries
[00:36.100]there is nothing to choose.
[00:40.431]Would you be happy?
[00:42.320]then learn to act freely.
[00:46.360]Would you act freely?
[00:48.105]then learn to ignore those twin tyrants
[00:53.226]of appetite and conscience.
[00:58.594]Therefore, I counsel you, master:
[01:02.467]Take Baba the Turk to wife.
[01:08.009]Consider her picture once more,
[01:11.395]and, as you do so,
[01:13.985]reflect upon my words.
