     Critobulus   replied�此     �Why�察  �these     are   the  very   lessons    of  instruction�察�

Socrates�察�for which I have been long athirst�察�and the more particularly if 

this same love's lore will enable me to capture those who are good of soul 

and those who are beautiful of person。 

     Soc。 Nay�察�now I warn you�察�Critobulus�察�it is not within the province of 

my science to make the beautiful endure him who would lay hands upon 

them。 And that is why men fled from Scylla�察�I am persuaded�察�because she 

laid   hands   upon   them�察  �but   the   Sirens   were   differentthey   laid   hands   on 

nobody�察  �but   sat   afar   off   and   chanted   their   spells   in   the   ears   of   all�察  �and 

therefore�察�it is said�察�all men endured to listen�察�and were charmed。 

     Cri。   I   promise   I   will   not   lay   violent   hands   on   any�察  �therefore�察  �if   you 

have any good device for winning friends�察�instruct your pupil。 

     Soc。 And if there is to be no laying on of the hands�察�there must be no 

application either of the lips�察�is it agreed�拭�

     Cri。 No�察�nor application of the lips to any onenot beautiful。 

     Soc。   See   now�   �you   cannot   open   your   mouth   without   some   luckless 

utterence。   Beauty  suffers   no such   liberty�察 �however   eagerly  the   ugly   may 

invite   it�察  �making   believe   some   quality   of   soul   must   rank   them   with   the 

beautiful。

beautiful�察�and for the   good a rain of kisses。; So now teach   us the art   of 

catching friends。 

     Soc。 Well then�察�when you wish to win some one's affection�察�you will 

allow me to lodge  information against you to  the effect that you   admire 

him and desire to be his friend�拭�

     Cri。 Lodge the indictment�察�with all my heart。 I never heard of any one 

who hated his admirers。 

     Soc。 And if I add to the indictment the further charge that through your 

admiration you   are  kindly  disposed  towards him�察  �you   will   not   feel   I  am 

taking away your character�拭�

     Cri。   Why�察  �no�察  �for   myself   I   know   a   kindly   feeling   springs   up   in   my 

heart towards any one whom I conceive to be kindly disposed to me。 

     Soc。 All this I shall feel empowered to say about you to those whose 

friendship      you   seek�察  �and   I  can  promise     further   help�察  �only   there   is  a 

comprehensive ;if;   to be   considered�此  �if you   will   further authorise   me   to 

say that you are devoted to your friends�察�that nothing gives you so much 

joy as a good friend�察�that you pride yourself no less on the fine deeds of 

those you love than on your own�察�and on their good things equally with 

your own�察�that you never weary of plotting and planning to procure them a 

rich   harvest   of   the   same�察  �and   lastly�察  �that   you   have   discovered   a   man's 

virtue is to excel his friends in kindness and his foes in hostility。 If I am 

authorised   thus   to   report   of   you�察  �I   think   you   will   find   me   a   serviceable 

fellow´hunter in the quest of friends�察�which is the conquest of the good。 

     Cri。 Why this appeal to me��as if you had not free permission to say 

exactly what you like about me。 

     Soc。 No�察�that I deny�察�on the authority of Aspasia。��25�А�I have it from her 

own   lips。   ;Good   matchmakers�察─  �she   said   tome�察   �were   clever   hands   at 

cementing       alliances   between     people�察   �provided    the   good    qualities   they 

vouched for were truthfully reported�察�but when it came to their telling lies�察�

for her part she could not compliment them。��26�А�Their poor deluded dupes 

ended by hating each other and the go´betweens as well。; Now I myself 

am so fully persuaded of the truth of this that I feel it is not in my power to 

say aught in your praise which I cannot say with truth。

you falsely or by persuading you to try to be a good man�拭�Or if it is not 

plain to you thus�察�look at the matter by the light of some examples。 I wish
