Partridge, chapter 3, book 12, provides a very amusing refusal of the role of soldier after lamenting in no Christian, but a very Epicurean, vein that death is the end, altogether.
A view not in the least contested or even deplored by Tom.
Nay, he endorses it, though he deplores Partridge's attitude toward soldiering.
Reading Fielding's masterpiece, Tom Jones.
Fitting that Fielding quotes Horace all over the place.
