Neptune, trembling for the event of the war, implores Venus, who, as the offspring of his element, naturally venerates him, to procure from Vulcan a deadly sword and a pair of unerring pistols for the Duke. They are accordingly made, and superbly decorated. The sheath of the sword, like the shield of Achilles, is carved, in exquisitely fine miniature, with scenes from the common life of the period; a dance at Almack's a boxing match at the Fives- court, a lord mayor's procession, and a man hanging. All these are fully and elegantly described. The Duke thus armed hastens to Brussels.

总经理：你就是企业形象代言人
作为总经理，应有一个核心思维——点灯心态。即分享一盏智慧的明灯；多点灯，不挖坑；一灯能破千年暗，一智能解万年愚。作为总经理，应有一种水性思维。即低洼意识——低姿态、高境界；为而不争——善利万物而不争；以柔克刚——柔弱胜刚强。作为总经理，应经常看到：探求自己的方向；遇到障碍物时，能发挥百倍力量；以自己的清洁洗净他人的污浊，有容清纳浊的宽大度量。《总经理你就是企业形象代言人》讲述汪洋大海，能蒸发为云，变成雨雪，又或凝结成一面如晶莹明镜的水，不论其变化如何，仍不失其本性。
