There I grew up to manhood.

I learned their language and manners and customs, and when I returned home I found myself an alien here: I do not love darkness or death, I do not hate riches, and the result is that I am what I am.

If I were like the rest of my countrymen, my lot would make me miserable; but as it is I prefer it to any other, and consider myself not the lowest but the greatest in the land.

My daughter is like me, and instead of being ashamed of her station she is proud of it, and would not give it up even to become a pauper.

I will see you again.
