  and built upon reason and logic.

• ويمر في أغراضه لولا أن العقل حجوز،

  And he pursues his desires, were it not that reason restrains him.

  العَقْلَ — the reason. This noun is in the accusative because the emphasis particle 'that' before it forces that ending on its subject. The 'the' makes it the known faculty of reason, set up as the restraining force in the counterfactual, so its case is dictated by the particle, not its role as a plain subject.

• فأنماث بالجسد عقله كإيماث الرميس،

  عَقْلُهُ — his intellect. Placed after its verb, this noun is the real subject of the dissolving and stands in the plain subject ending, with 'his' fused to its end pointing back to the boaster. So it reads 'his intellect', named after the verb in normal Arabic order.
