It is worth while, however, to observe and
consider how Philip stands today. His present prospects are not so bright or
satisfactory as they seem and as a superficial observer might pronounce them;
nor would he ever have provoked this war had he thought that he would be bound
to fight himself. He hoped that on his first entry he would carry all before
him, and he finds himself completely mistaken. This unforeseen result confounds
and discourages him; and besides there is the question of Thessaly.
