'What is he to do then ?' He will praise and blame hunting, having in view the discipline and exercise of youth.
And the young man will listen obediently and will regard his praises and censures; neither pleasure nor pain should hinder him.

The legislator will express himself in the form of a pious wish for the welfare of the young:--O my friends, he will say, may you never be induced to hunt for fish in the waters, either by day or night; or for men, whether by sea or land.

Never let the wish to steal enter into your minds; neither be ye fowlers, which is not an occupation for gentlemen.

As to land animals, the legislator will discourage hunting by night, and also the use of nets and snares by day; for these are indolent and unmanly methods.

The only mode of hunting which he can praise is with horses and dogs, running, shooting, striking at close quarters.
