Hence it is that, as a rule, the slave (§ 71, ff.) and socager work least willingly, the day laborer with less industry than the piece-worker, (240) who is at the same time more satisfied with himself, and gives most satisfaction to his master, (241) since he acquires more both for himself and for his master.
