needed   to   bag   a   hare�殖�8�А  �The   creatures   range   for   their   food   at   night�察�

therefore   the   hunter   must   provide   himself   with   night   dogs。   At   peep   of 

dawn they are off as fast as they can run。 He must therefore have another 

pack of dogs to scent out and discover which way they betake them from 

their grazing ground to their forms�撮�9�А�and as they are so fleet of foot that 

they run and are out of sight in no time�察�he must once again be provided 

with other fleet´footed dogs to follow their tracks and overtake them�撮�10�А�

and as some of them will give even these the slip�察�he must�察�last of all�察�set 

up nets on the paths at the points of escape�察�so that they may fall into the 

meshes and be caught。

     Theod。 And   by   what   like   contrivance   would   you   have   me   catch   my 

lovers�拭�

     Soc。 Well now� �what if in place of a dog you can get a man who will 

hunt   up   your   wealthy   lover   of   beauty   and   discover   his   lair�察  �and   having 

found him�察�will plot and plan to throw him into your meshes�拭�

looks to please and with what words to cheer�察�how�察�too�察�with smiles you 

are    to  welcome     true   devotion�察   �but   to  exclude    all  wantons     from   your 

presence。��13�А�It tells you�察�you are to visit your beloved in sickness with 

solicitude�察�and when he has wrought some noble deed you are greatly to 

rejoice with him�察  �and to one who   passionately cares   for you�察 �you are   to 

make surrender of yourself with heart and soul。 The secret of true love I 

am sure   you   know�此�not to   love softly  merely�察 �but devotedly。��14�А�And   of 

this too I am sure�此�you can convince your lovers of your fondness for them 

not by lip phrases�察�but by acts of love。

     ��14�А�Or�察 �that it should be simply soft�察�but full of tender goodwill。; 

     Theod。 No�察�upon my word�察�I have none of these devices。 

     Soc。    And    yet  it  makes   all  the  difference    whether     you   approach     a 

human being in the natural and true way�察�since it is not by force certainly 

that you can either catch or keep a friend。 Kindness and pleasure are the 

only means to capture this fearful wild´fowl man and keep him constant。 

     Theod。 You are right。 

     Soc。 In the first place you must make such demands only of your well´ 

wisher as he can grant without repentance�察�and in the next place you must 

make requital�察�dispensing your favours with a like economy。 Thus you will 

best   make   friends   whose   love   shall   last   the   longest   and   their   generosity 

know no stint。��15�А�And for your favours you will best win your friends if 

you suit your largess to their penury�察�for�察�mark you�察�the sweetest viands 

presented to a man before he wants them are apt to prove insipid�察�or�察�to 

one already sated�察�even nauseous�察�but create hunger�察�and even coarser stuff 

seems honey´sweet。

handed friendship。; 

     Theod。 How then shall I create this hunger in the heart of my friends�拭�

     Soc。 In the first place you must not offer or make suggestion of your 

dainties to jaded appetites until satiety has ceased and starvation cries for 

alms。 Even then shall you make but a faint suggestion to their want�察�with 

modest converselike one who would fain bestow a kindness 。 。 。 and lo� �

the vision fades and she is goneuntil   the very pinch of hunger�察�for  the 

same   gifts   have   then   a   value   unknown   before   the   moment   of   supreme 

desire。 

     Then Theodote�此�Oh why�察�Socrates�察�why are you not by my side ��like 

the huntsman's assistant�� to help me catch my friends and lovers�拭�

     Soc。 That will I be in good sooth if only you can woo and win me。

     Soc。 Seek and you will find means�察�if you truly need me。 

     Theod。 Come then in hither and visit me often。 

    And Socrates�察�poking sly fun at his own lack of business occupation�察�

answered�此  �Nay�察�Theodote�察 �leisure   is   not   a   commodity  in   which   I   largely 

deal。 I have a hundred affairs of my own too�察�private or public�察�to occupy 

me�察�and then there are my lady´loves�察�my dear friends�察�who will not suffer 

me day or night to leave them�察�for ever studying to learn love´charms and 

incantations at my lips。 

     Theod。 Why�察�are you really versed in those things�察�Socrates�拭�

     Soc。 Of course�察�or else how is it�察�do you suppose�察�that Apollodorus��16�А�

here   and Antisthenes   never   leave   me�察  �or   why   have   Cebes   and   Simmias
