Xenophons
treatise
of
householde
.
I
Harde
vpon
a
time
the
wise
Socrates
commune
of
the
ordryng
of
an
house
,
speakynge
to
one
Critobulus
,
after
this
maner
.
Tel
me
Critobulus
,
is
the
ordrynge
of
an
house
the
name
of
a
science
,
lyke
wyse
as
phisike
is
,
and
masons
&
carpenters
crafte
?
So
me
thinketh
,
said
Critobulus
.
Whether
than
may
we
tell
,
what
is
the
duetie
,
and
the
propre
office
,
of
the
ordrynge
of
an
house
/
likewise
as
we
can
tel
of
other
craftes
and
sciences
?
Me
thynketh
,
saide
Critobulus
,
hit
longeth
to
a
good
husbande
,
and
a
good
ordrer
of
an
house
to
guyde
well
and
order
his
owne
house
.
But
yet
,
sayd
So.
If
one
dyd
put
hym
in
trust
;
&
charge
him
to
order
his
house
,
coude
not
he
order
hi●
as
well
as
his
owne
,
if
he
wolde
?
For
he
that
hath
a
carpenters
crafte
well
,
he
can
worke
aswel
for
an
other
,
as
he
can
for
hym selfe
,
&
may
not
a
good
husbande
,
wel
experte
in
the
ordrynge
of
an
house
,
do
lyke
wyse
?
Me
thynketh
yes
,
good
Socrates
.
Than
a
man
,
sayde
Socrates
,
that
is
well
sene
in
that
science
,
though
he
haue
no
substaunce
/
nor
no
goodes
him selfe
,
may
get
his
liuing
,
and
haue
good
wages
/
if
he
wyll
order
an
other
mans
house
/
as
well
as
he
that
buildeth
an
house
.
In
good
fayth
,
sayde
Critobulus
/
he
were
worthy
to
haue
very
good
wages
,
if
he
coude
take
an
other
mans
house
in
hande
/
and
do
euery
thyng
/
that
belongeth
to
hit
;
/
and
make
the
house
better
in
goodes
and
in
substaunce
.
But
what
do
we
meane
by
the
house
/
whether
is
it
nothyng
els
but
the
bare
house
/
or
whether
all
maner
of
thynges
,
that
a
man
hath
out
of
the
house
/
be
belongynge
to
the
house
?
Me
thinketh
,
sayde
Critobulus
,
that
all
though
that
that
a
man
hath
/
be
not
within
the
towne
/
where
he
dwelleth
/
but
in
the
countre
/
or
any
where
els
,
that
al
dothe
belonge
to
the
house
,
what
so
euer
a
man
hath
.
And
is
there
not
some
men
/
that
haue
enmyes
?
Yes
mary
/
and
a
great
meiny
to
.
And
shal
we
say
,
that
their
enmyes
be
theyr
goodes
or
substance
?
By
my
feyth
it
were
a
mery
ieste
,
if
he
that
hath
caused
vs
to
haue
mo
enmyes
than
we
had
/
wolde
haue
a
rewarde
for
it
besyde
,
for
by
cause
we
haue
iuged
a
mans
house
/
and
that
that
a
man
hath
to
be
all
one
,
Ye
but
I
do
not
accompt
that
amonge
a
mans
substance
and
goodes
,
that
is
nought
and
hurtful
vnto
him
,
but
that
that
is
good
and
profitable
.
Than
,
as
farre
as
I
se
,
ye
calle
that
a
mans
goodes
and
substaunce
,
that
is
profitable
vnto
him
?
Ye
mary
do
I
,
and
suche
thinges
as
be
hurtful
,
I
cal
them
domages
and
not
goodes
.
And
what
if
a
man
bye
a
horse
,
that
he
can
not
ryde
/
but
fall
downe
from
his
backe
,
and
so
do
hym selfe
a
displesure
,
is
not
that
hors
his
goodes
?
No
by
my
faye
,
seinge
those
thynges
be
goodes
that
be
good
.
Nor
the
grounde
than
shall
not
be
called
goodes
vnto
a
man
/
the
which
occupieth
it
so
,
that
he
hath
domage
by
hit
.
Nor
the
grounde
shal
not
be
called
goodes
,
if
where
that
a
man
shulde
be
founde
and
norisshed
by
it
/
he
dieth
for
hunger
.
Than
it
fareth
like
wise
by
shepe
.
If
a
man
hath
any
domage
/
by
the
reason
that
he
can
not
guyde
them
,
nor
order
them
as
he
shulde
,
the
shepe
shall
not
be
goodes
vnto
hym
?
Me
thynketh
no.
Than
,
as
farre
as
hit
semeth
by
you
/
ye
call
those
thinges
goodes
,
that
be
profitable
/
and
those
thynges
that
be
hurtefull
be
no
goodes
?
So
me
thynketh
.
Than
one selfe
thynge
shal
be
called
goodes
vnto
him
that
can
vse
it
as
he
shuld
/
〈◊〉
to
hym
that
can
not
/
it
shal
be
no
goodes
:
like
wise
as
recorders
be
goodes
vnto
him
/
that
can
plaie
on
them
somwhat
according
:
but
vnto
hym
that
can
not
,
they
be
no
other
wise
good
than
stones
,
that
be
vnprofitable
,
excepte
a
man
do
selle
them
.
And
so
lyke
wyse
by
the
recorders
/
if
we
sell
them
,
they
be
good
:
but
if
we
kepe
them
,
&
can
not
occupie
them
,
they
be
no
goodes
.
We
must
nedes
to
agree
in
this
tale
,
seinge
we
haue
sayd
afore
,
that
those
thinges
,
that
be
ꝓfitable
be
goodes
.
For
the
recorders
/
as
longe
as
we
kepe
them
vnsolde
/
they
be
no
goodes
/
for
they
do
vs
no
good
:
but
if
they
be
sold
,
they
be
goodes
.
Ye
mary
,
sayd
Socrates
,
if
one
haue
the
witte
to
sel
them
well
.
But
if
one
do
selle
them
,
that
can
not
order
hym selfe
/
euen
whan
they
be
al
redy
solde
,
they
be
no
goodes
/
according
to
your
tale
.
Me
thinketh
ye
say
sir
Socrates
,
that
nor
yet
money
nother
is
goodes
,
except
a
man
can
vse
it
.
So
me
thinketh
/
ye
haue
granted
all
redy
,
that
those
thynges
be
called
goodes
/
that
a
man
getteth
any
profite
by
.
But
if
a
man
dyd
bestowe
his
money
vpon
an
harlotte
,
&
that
by
the
reason
of
dayly
conuersation
with
hir
,
his
body
were
he
weker
,
his
soule
the
worse
disposed
,
and
his
house
the
worse
kepte
and
ordered
,
howe
shulde
money
be
profitable
vnto
him
?
It
can
not
be
in
no
case
/
excepte
parauenture
we
wil
cal
our
goodes
a
poison
,
the
whiche
whan
a
man
dothe
eate
of
it
,
hit
bringeth
him
out
of
his
witte
.
But
as
for
money
/
frende
Critobulus
/
if
a
man
can
not
vse
it
as
he
shulde
,
let
him
cast
it
away
farre
from
him
.
For
hit
is
nother
profitable
vnto
him
,
nor
may
be
called
goodes
.
But
as
for
frendes
,
if
a
man
can
vse
them
,
so
that
he
get
some
profite
of
them
,
what
shal
we
say
that
they
be
?
Goodes
forsoth
,
said
Crito
.
&
moche
more
than
shepe
or
oxen
,
seinge
they
be
a
gret
deale
more
profitable
.
Than
,
accordinge
to
your
tale
,
our
enmis
like
wise
be
goodes
vnto
him
/
that
can
get
profite
of
them
.
So
me
thinketh
.
And
it
is
a
point
than
of
a
good
husbande
and
a
good
ordrer
of
an
house
,
to
haue
away
to
vse
his
enmies
so
,
that
he
may
gette
some
profette
by
them
.
In
any
case
.
For
ye
se
well
inoughe
,
good
Critob
.
howe
many
meane
mennes
houses
/
&
howe
many
lordes
&
kyngis
dominions
haue
ben
increased
and
amplified
by
the
reason
of
warre
.
Forsoth
sir
Socrates
,
me
thynketh
ye
haue
verye
well
spoken
in
this
matter
,
but
what
thinke
you
by
this
,
whan
that
we
se
that
som
men
,
which
haue
sciences
,
good
wages
/
and
good
propreties
,
wherby
they
myght
make
their
houses
the
better
,
if
they
wold
put
them selfe
to
it
:
yet
we
may
wel
se
&
perceiue
they
woll
not
do
it
.
And
therfore
we
se
,
that
the
sciences
and
good
propreties
,
that
they
haue
,
auayle
them
nothynge
:
whether
than
shall
those
sciences
/
that
they
haue
/
be
accompted
for
theyr
goodes
and
substance
/
or
for
somwhat
els
?
Ye
said
Socrates
,
me
thinketh
,
ye
meane
that
by
bonde
men
/
and
by
some
vile
parsons
.
No
by
my
feythe
I
:
but
I
speake
of
some
of
them
,
that
be
honest
mens
sonnes
and
gentilmennes
to
/
the
whiche
I
se
,
that
some
of
them
,
that
be
experte
bothe
in
those
thynges
/
that
longe
to
warre
and
also
to
peace
/
yet
they
woll
not
put
them selfes
to
none
of
them
.
and
me
thinketh
,
they
shuld
be
in
a
better
case
,
if
they
were
bounde
men
.
For
I
suppose
,
that
they
do
not
that
that
they
shulde
,
for
bicause
they
lacke
maisters
to
putte
them
to
hit
.
Howe
can
that
stande
,
saide
Socrates
,
that
they
haue
no
maisters
,
whan
that
they
desiring
to
lyue
in
welthe
and
felicite
,
and
mynded
to
do
that
that
wolde
be
for
their
ꝓfette
:
their
lordes
and
superiours
do
let
them
,
that
they
shall
not
do
it
?
And
what
be
they
,
saide
Critobulus
,
that
be
inuisible
,
and
yet
order
them
thus
?
Nay
they
be
not
all
so
inuisible
,
no
,
Iwis
they
be
clere
inoughe
to
euery
mans
sight
.
And
ye
knowe
well
your selfe
/
they
be
moste
vngratious
and
moste
myscheuous
of
all
,
if
slouthfulnes
,
sluggardise
/
lacke
of
stomacke
and
quickenes
,
lacke
of
takynge
hede
,
and
also
negligence
may
be
taken
for
vngratiousnes
.
And
besyde
these
there
be
other
deceitfull
ladies
,
the
whiche
do
come
in
vnder
the
colour
and
name
of
pleasures
,
playenge
at
dice
and
cardes
,
vnprofitable
triflynge
and
kepynge
company
with
vnthriftes
/
the
whiche
in
proces
of
tyme
do
shewe
playnlye
vnto
theyr
adherentes
,
by
them
deceiued
,
that
amonge
pleasures
there
is
some
wo
and
some
sorowe
myngled
.
These
ladies
kepe
them
so
in
seruage
and
thraldome
,
that
they
can
not
be
suffred
to
do
nothynge
,
that
is
for
theyr
profite
.
Ye
but
there
be
some
other
,
good
Socrates
,
the
whiche
haue
no
suche
,
to
let
them
from
their
busines
/
but
rather
applie
them selfes
well
fauordly
to
their
busines
,
and
seke
,
and
imagin
al
the
wayes
possible
to
gette
them
good
with
al
:
yet
they
do
stroye
them selfes
,
minisshe
their
liuelode
,
&
destroy
their
houses
:
And
as
concernynge
to
fynde
any
remedye
/
they
be
at
their
wittes
endes
.
And
they
also
,
sayde
Socrates
,
be
lyke
wyse
bounde
men
/
as
other
be
,
and
haue
ouer
them
very
sore
and
cruell
felowes
to
theyr
maisters
.
Some
of
them
be
in
the
thraldome
of
glotony
,
some
of
licorousnes
,
some
of
dronkennes
,
some
of
vayne
pride
/
and
costly
vayne
glorye
/
the
whiche
kepe
their
subiectes
so
sore
in
seruitude
and
bondage
,
that
as
longe
as
they
se
them
yonge
and
lustie
,
and
able
to
worke
/
they
make
them
to
brynge
them
all
that
euer
they
can
gette
/
to
bestowe
it
vpon
theyr
lustis
and
pleasures
.
But
whan
they
perceyue
they
be
so
olde
,
that
they
can
not
worke
,
than
they
lette
them
alone
with
a
mischiefe
/
to
lyue
wretchedly
in
theyr
olde
age
,
and
seke
other
,
that
they
may
bringe
in
to
their
seruice
lyke
wyse
.
But
it
beboueth
gentil
Critobulus
/
to
stryue
and
fight
with
them
for
our
owne
libertie
,
none
other
wyse
than
we
wolde
with
them
,
the
whiche
/
with
naked
swordes
and
weapons
in
their
handis
,
go
aboute
to
brynge
vs
in
thraldome
and
seruitude
.
Enmyes
,
if
that
they
be
good
honest
men
/
whan
they
haue
brought
some
men
in
to
theyr
subiection
,
they
cause
many
to
be
moche
better
,
teachynge
them
to
be
reuly
and
temperate
,
that
afore
were
to
high
mynded
and
to
fierce
.
But
as
for
these
ladies
they
neuer
cesse
,
but
be
euermore
punisshyng
/
beatyng
/
and
turmentyng
the
bodies
/
the
soules
,
and
the
houses
of
them
,
that
they
haue
vnder
:
and
that
they
do
as
longe
as
they
be
their
maistresses
.
Than
Critobulus
sayde
vnto
hym
after
this
maner
.
As
for
this
matter
me
thynkethe
I
haue
harde
you
speke
sufficiently
in
it
.
And
whan
I
grope
and
serche
well
my
conscience
,
I
finde
,
that
me
thynkyth
/
I
can
very
well
refrayne
all
maner
of
suche
thynges
.
Wherfore
if
ye
wyl
gyue
me
counseyle
,
howe
doinge
I
may
encreace
&
make
my
house
better
,
I
thinke
/
I
shall
be
nothinge
let
of
them
that
ye
calle
ladies
.
And
therfore
tell
me
with
a
good
wyl
,
if
ye
haue
any
goodnes
in
this
matter
.
Or
els
ye
thynke
parauenture
,
that
we
be
ryche
inoughe
,
and
nede
no
more
goodes
.
By
my
faith
,
saide
Socrates
,
in
dede
,
if
ye
speake
of
me
,
I
nede
no
more
goodes
,
but
I
am
ryche
inoughe
.
But
as
for
you
Critobulus
,
me
thinketh
ye
be
very
poure
.
And
by
the
feyth
I
owe
to
god
/
I
haue
some
tymes
great
pite
of
you
.
Than
Critobulus
laughyng
saide
:
And
I
pray
you
for
goddis
sake
,
if
al
your
goodes
were
solde
,
what
sh●●●e
●e
ye
haue
for
them
?
And
what
shuld
I
●●●ue
for
myne
,
if
I
wolde
selle
them
?
I
thynke
,
sayde
Socrates
,
that
if
I
myght
mete
with
a
good
byer
/
I
shulde
haue
well
for
my
house
,
and
for
all
my
goodes
a.
v.
or
vj.
marke
.
But
as
for
yours
,
I
knowe
very
well
,
that
ye
shulde
haue
an
hundred
tymes
more
.
And
ye
that
knowe
this
,
do
ye
thinke
your selfe
,
that
ye
lacke
no
more
goodes
,
and
haue
pitie
of
me
,
bycause
of
my
pouerte
.
For
that
that
I
haue
is
sufficient
inough
to
fynde
me
that
that
is
necessarie
.
But
for
to
meynteyne
your
state
,
and
the
worshyp
,
that
ye
haue
taken
vpon
you
,
me
semeth
/
that
if
ye
had
foure
tymes
as
moche
more
as
ye
haue
,
it
were
not
inoughe
.
And
howe
so
,
saide
Critobulus
?
Than
said
Socrates
:
Fyrste
of
al
I
se
,
that
ye
muste
nedes
make
many
feastis
and
many
great
bankettes
,

receyue
in

many

and
intreate

honorably
,
kepyng

Furthermore
ye
must
bydde

shall
haue

More
ouer
I
perceiue
/
that
the
cite
of
Athenes
begynneth
to
put

But
if
there
come
in
warre
ones
,
I
am
sure
,
they
wyll
haue
so
moche
money
from
you
,
what
in
taxes
,
what
in
subsidies
,
and
what
in
preastis
,
that
ye
shall
scante
be
able

beare

.
And
if
ye
seme
to

somewhat
lesse
than
your

is
,
they
woll
punysshe
you
as
sore
,
as
thoughe
they
had
founde
you
robbynge

common
treasorie
.
Besyde
this
,
I
se
that
ye
haue
this
opinion
/
that
ye
be
riche
/
and
that
ye
care
not
to
get
no
more
goodes
/
and
that
ye
gyue
your selfe
to
vayne
and
childisshe
pleasures
,
as
ye
may
wel
do
,
The
which
thinges
do
moue
me
to
haue
compassion
of
you
,
fearyng
lest
ye
fall
in
to
some
mysfortune
,
and
into
great
pouerte
without
any
remedye
.
And
as
for
me
,
if
I
had
nede
/
I
trowe
ye
knowe
verye
well
/
that
there
be
many
that
wold
helpe
me
:
in
so
moche
that
if
they
gaue
me
but
euery
man
a
littell
,
I
shulde
haue
more
than
the
degree
of
my
lyuynge
doth
require
.
But
as
for
your
frendes
,
al
though
they
haue
more
to
kepe
them
in
their
degree
,
than
ye
haue
for
yours
:
yet
they
loke
,
that
ye
shulde
helpe
them
.
Than
sayde
Critobulus
,
I
haue
nothynge
to
say
agaynst
you
in
this
matter
:
But
it
is
time
for
you
to
instructe
me
with
some
good
preceptes
/
to
th
intente
that
I
be
not
so
miserable
in
dede
,
that
ye
may
haue
compassion
on
me
with
a
good
cause
.
Than
sayde
Socrates
:
Do
not
ye
thynke
your selfe
,
that
ye
do
a
very
strange
,
and
a
maruailous
thynge
/
that
but
a
pratye
whyle
ago
,
whan
I
sayde
,
that
I
was
riche
,
ye
lough
at
me
/
as
though
I
knewe
not
what
riches
mened
,
and
neuer
stynted
/
til
ye
had
put
me
to
a
rebuke
,
and
made
me
to
confesse
,
that
I
had
not
the
hundreth
parte
of
that
,
that
ye
haue
,
and
nowe
ye
byd
me
to
instructe
you
/
and
set
my
diligence
/
that
ye
be
not
poure
in
very
dede
.
For
I
se
wel
good
Socrates
,
said
Critobulus
,
that
ye
haue
in
you
the
caste
to
make
a
man
ryche
in
dede
,
that
is
to
make
him
haue
plentie
and
abundance
.
And
I
truste
,
he
that
of
a
litell
thynge
can
make
plentie
and
abundance
,
shal
do
hit
moche
more
lightlier
of
many
great
thynges
.
Be
ye
not
remembred
of
our
communyng
a
pratye
whyle
ago
,
whan
I
coude
in
no
case
contrarie
your
sayinge
:
that
to
him
that
can
not
vse
horses
/
horses
be
no
goodes
vnto
hym
/
nor
lande
/
nor
shepe
/
nor
money
/
nor
nothing
els
,
and
yet
of
suche
thinges
a
man
may
get
great
profite
and
vantage
?
But
as
for
me
,
howe
do
ye
thinke
,
that
I
can
vse
or
order
suche
thinges
,
that
hadde
neuer
none
?
But
me
thought
,
that
all
though
a
man
had
nother
money
,
nor
no
goodis
,
yet
there
was
a
certaine
science
of
gydyng
and
ordryng
of
an
house
.
And
what
letteth
you
,
that
ye
may
not
haue
the
same
science
?
Loke
what
doth
let
a
man
to
playe
vpon
recorders
,
if
nother
he
had
neuer
none
hym selfe
/
nor
borowed
none
of
no
body
:
the
selfe
same
impediment
haue
I
in
the
ordring
of
an
house
.
For
I
nother
neuer
had
instrumentes
/
that
is
goodes
and
money
of
myn
owne
to
lerne
by
hit
,
nor
there
was
neuer
no
bodye
,
that
charged
me
with
his
goodes
,
to
ouer
se
them
,
or
to
order
them
/
excepte
ye
parauenture
be
disposed
so
to
do
.
But
ye
knowe
wel
,
that
they
that
lerne
firste
to
play
vpon
an
harpe
,
they
spille
the
harpe
:
So
if
I
shulde
nowe
lerne
on
your
householde
/
howe
to
kepe
an
house
/
I
am
aferde
/
lest
I
shulde
destroye
your
house
.
Ha
,
ye
go
about
very
busily
and
redily
to
auoyde
,
that
ye
wol
not
helpe
me
to
beare
,
and
susteyne
with
me
parte
of
my
busines
.
By
my
fay
that
do
I
not
:
I
woll
be
glad
with
all
myne
harte
to
shewe
you
al
that
euer
I
can
.
But
I
thinke
this
,
that
if
ye
came
to
my
house
for
some
fyre
,
and
I
had
none
/
if
I
brought
you
to
an
other
place
,
where
ye
myghte
haue
some
,
ye
wolde
not
be
displeased
with
me
.
And
if
ye
came
and
asked
me
water
,
and
I
hadde
none
,
if
I
brought
you
in
to
a
place
,
where
ye
myghte
drawe
some
,
ye
coude
not
blame
me
.
And
if
ye
wolde
,
that
I
shulde
teache
you
musicke
/
if
I
dyd
shewe
you
other
men
more
experte
in
it
than
I
am
my selfe
,
and
that
wolde
be
gladde
and
fayne
to
teache
you
,
what
coude
ye
blame
me
,
if
I
dyd
so
?
I
coude
not
do
it
with
a
good
cause
.
Therfore
I
wyll
shewe
you
,
that
these
thynges
,
which
ye
desire
so
instantly
of
me
,
that
there
be
other
men
more
counnyng
,
and
more
experte
in
them
than
I
am
.
And
this
I
grant
you
,
that
I
haue
hadde
a
greatte
mynde
to
knowe
,
whiche
were
the
moste
counnynge
/
and
the
mooste
experte
in
all
the
citie
.
For
whan
I
dyd
some
tyme
considre
/
that
in
one
worke
,
one
busines
,
and
one
thynge
doinge
some
waxed
verye
poure
,
and
some
verye
riche
,
I
marueiled
,
and
me
thought
,
it
was
a
thynge
to
be
well
consydered
/
howe
that
shuld
be
.
And
thus
consideryng
,
I
founde
,
that
this
happened
none
other
wyse
/
than
the
thynge
it selfe
and
reason
wolde
.
For
I
sawe
,
that
they
that
behaued
them selfes
rasshely
in
their
busines
/
had
domage
and
losse
by
it
:
and
they
,
that
with
discretion
,
witte
,
and
good
aduisement
applied
theyr
busynes
/
broughte
theyr
matters
to
passe
more
quickely
,
more
easily
/
and
with
more
auantage
.
Of
the
whiche
I
thynke
that
ye
may
lerne
/
and
so
by
the
grace
of
god
come
to
be
a
very
riche
man
,
with
moche
winning
and
lucre
.
Nowe
by
my
faith
I
wyl
neuer
let
you
be
in
reste
,
vntyll
the
tyme
ye
shewe
afore
these
frendes
of
yours
/
that
ye
speake
of
/
that
that
ye
haue
promysed
me
.
But
what
wolde
ye
saye
,
if
I
dyd
shewe
you
some
men
,
the
whiche
haue
builded
for
verye
moche
money
/
vnprofitable
houses
/
without
any
good
caste
,
or
any
good
commoditie
:
and
other
that
for
lesse
coste
a
great
dele
,
haue
made
houses
/
lackynge
nothyng
that
longeth
to
an
house
/
wyll
ye
not
saye
,
that
I
do
shewe
you
a
poynt
of
a
good
ordrer
of
an
house
?
Yes
veryly
said
Crito
.
What
if
I
shewe
you
nexte
and
according
to
the
same
,
that
some
men
haue
moche
householde
stouffe
/
and
of
all
sortes
,
and
whan
they
haue
nede
of
it
,
they
can
not
vse
it
,
but
it
is
to
seche
,
and
they
can
not
tell
whether
hit
be
luste
or
saue
leyde
vp
?
And
for
this
cause
they
be
wonderslye
greued
in
theyr
myndes
,
and
vexe
&
trouble
their
seruantes
,
and
nothinge
els
.
And
also
other
men
,
the
whiche
haue
no
more
/
but
rather
lesse
/
haue
euery
thyng
redy
at
hande
/
whan
they
haue
nede
of
it
.
What
shulde
be
the
cause
of
it
,
gentil
Socrates
/
but
that
the
tone
doth
cast
asyde
euery
thynge
folisshelye
,
without
any
order
:
and
the
tother
layth
vp
euery
thinge
in
his
place
?
There
ye
saide
well
/
sayde
Socrates
.
And
he
not
only
setteth
euerye
thynge
in
his
place
/
but
also
in
suche
a
place
as
is
mete
and
conuenient
to
set
hit
in
.
Me
semeth
,
sayd
Cri.
that
ye
say
,
that
this
also
is
a
poynt
of
a
good
order
of
an
house
.
And
what
if
I
shewe
you
,
that
in
one
place
al
the
bounde
men
&
seruantes
be
tyed
faste
,
&
yet
they
runne
awaye
often
tymes
:
and
in
an
other
place
they
be
losed
/
wyllyng
to
abyde
&
labour
with
al
theyr
hartes
,
wyll
ye
not
thynke
this
a
good
poynt
of
a
house
keper
,
worthy
to
be
loked
vpon
?
Yes
mary
,
said
Critobulus
,
&
very
worthy
to
be
loked
vpon
.
And
what
if
I
shewe
you
housbande
men
/
of
the
whiche
some
complayne
and
saye
,
that
they
dye
for
hunger
,
for
all
theyr
husbandry
,
and
some
that
haue
plentie
/
of
al
maner
of
thynges
necessary
,
by
the
reason
of
their
husbandry
.
Ye
mary
,
sayd
Critobulus
,
parauenture
they
bestowe
their
money
and
theyr
goodes
/
not
where
they
shulde
/
but
in
suche
thynges
as
be
hurtefull
bothe
to
them
and
to
theyr
houses
.
In
dede
there
be
some
suche
/
sayde
Socrates
/
but
I
do
not
speke
of
them
,
but
of
those
,
the
which
cal
them selfe
husbande
men
,
and
yet
they
can
scant
get
their
meate
&
their
drinke
.
And
what
shulde
be
the
cause
of
this
gentyl
So
?
I
wyll
bringe
you
vnto
them
,
sayde
So.
and
whan
ye
se
them
,
than
shal
ye
lerne
.
Mary
that
wyll
I
,
if
that
I
can
.
Ye
but
first
ye
muste
proue
your selfe
,
if
ye
shall
be
able
to
knowe
it
,
whan
ye
se
them
.
It
cometh
in
to
my
mynde
nowe
,
that
ye
wolde
rise
very
yerly
,
and
go
a
great
waye
,
to
se
enterludes
played
,
&
that
ye
wolde
intreate
me
nedes
to
go
with
you
,
but
ye
neuer
had
me
to
suche
a
sighte
.
Than
ye
thinke
,
myne
owne
Socrates
,
that
I
am
worthye
to
be
laughed
to
scorne
of
you
.
Ye
but
of
your selfe
moche
more
.
But
what
if
I
do
shewe
you
some
men
/
the
whiche
by
the
reason
of
kepyng
of
horses
,
haue
bene
brought
to
exstreme
pouerte
,
and
other
/
the
whiche
by
the
reason
of
hit
,
haue
made
them selfes
ryche
men
/
and
haue
gotten
so
great
substance
,
that
they
liue
lyke
lordes
?
I
haue
sene
them
,
and
I
knowe
them
bothe
,
but
I
haue
neuer
the
more
vantage
for
that
.
The
cause
of
it
is
,
that
ye
beholde
them
lyke
wyse
/
as
ye
loke
vpon
the
plaiers
of
enterludes
,
not
to
th
intent
that
ye
may
be
a
poete
,
but
for
a
pastime
&
a
recreation
.
And
parauenture
ye
do
well
in
that
,
for
ye
be
not
mynded
to
be
a
poete
,
but
where
ye
be
compelled
to
kepe
and
fynde
horses
,
wyll
ye
not
iuge
your selfe
a
foole
,
if
ye
go
not
aboute
to
studie
a
remedie
,
that
ye
be
not
ignoraunte
in
that
behalfe
,
seinge
that
the
selfe
same
thynges
be
good
to
the
vse
,
and
profitable
to
be
solde
.
Your
mynde
is
that
I
shulde
breke
horses
?
No
by
my
faith
it
,
no
more
than
if
ye
wolde
haue
a
good
laborer
,
I
wolde
gyue
you
counsell
to
bringe
hym
vp
of
a
childe
.
But
there
be
ages
bothe
of
horses
and
of
men
,
the
whiche
be
immediately
profitable
/
and
do
daily
so
growe
,
that
they
do
more
good
one
daye
than
an
other
.
Furthermore
I
can
shewe
you
some
men
,
the
which
haue
so
vsed
and
ordred
their
wyues
/
that
they
comforte
them
and
helpe
them
towarde
the
incresing
of
their
house
:
and
some
that
haue
suche
wyues
,
the
which
destroy
vtterly
the
house
,
and
so
the
moste
parte
of
men
haue
.
But
who
is
to
be
blamed
for
this
/
the
husbande
or
the
wyfe
/
good
Socrates
?
A
shepe
/
if
hit
do
not
well
,
for
the
moste
parte
we
do
blame
the
sheperde
.
And
a
horse
moste
comonly
/
if
he
be
skyttisshe
,
and
do
some
displesure
,
we
blame
the
breker
.
And
a
wyfe
lyke
wyse
,
if
her
husbande
teache
hir
well
,
if
she
do
not
folowe
it
,
she
is
parauenture
to
blame
.
But
if
he
do
not
teache
her
,
if
she
be
rude
/
vnwomanly
/
and
witles
/
is
not
he
to
be
blamed
?
Yes
by
my
faith
,
sayde
Cri.
And
seinge
that
we
be
frendes
,
&
may
speke
plainly
betwene
our selfes
,
Is
there
euer
any
other
wyse
man
,
that
ye
truste
&
charge
so
moche
in
your
busynes
,
as
ye
do
your
wyfe
?
No
forsoth
,
sayd
he
.
And
is
there
any
,
that
ye
commune
lesse
with
,
than
ye
do
with
her
?
No
by
my
faith
,
and
if
there
be
any
,
they
be
very
fewe
.
Ye
maried
her
verye
yonge
/
whan
she
had
nother
sene
nor
harde
moche
of
the
worlde
.
Wherfore
hit
were
more
to
be
maruailed
at
it
,
if
she
knew
and
dyd
as
she
shulde
/
than
if
she
dyd
amisse
.
Crito
.
They
,
the
whiche
ye
say
,
haue
good
wyues
,
haue
they
taughte
them
so
in
dede
?
Socra
.
It
is
a
thynge
not
to
stande
longe
vpon
.
For
I
wyll
brynge
you
my

Aspasia
/
the
whiche
shall
shewe
you
all
this
better

I

But
me
thynkethe
that
a
wyfe
,
beinge
a
good
companion
/
and
a
good
felowe
to
her
husbande
in
a
house
,
is
very
necessary
/
and
within
a
littel
as
moche
worthe
as
the
husbande
.
For
commonlye
goodes
and
substance
do
come
in
to
the
house
by
the
labour
and
payne
of
the
man
,
but
the
woman
is
she
for
the
moste
parte
,
that
kepeth
and
bestoweth
it
,
where
nede
is
.
And
if
these
two
thinges
stande
well

/
and
be
wel
ordeined
,
the
houses
do
increace
,
if
not

More
ouer

thinketh
,
that
I
can
shewe
you
in

that
do

,
accordynge
as
they

if

it
nedeth
.
But
what
nede
you
to
reherse
them
all
good
Socrates
/
sayde
Critobulus
?
For
hit
is
nother
possible
for
a
man
to
haue
worke
men
of
all
faculties
/
suche
as
shulde
be

nor
hym selfe
to

in
all

But
as
for
suche
sciences
/
as
be
mooste
honorable
,
and
maye
become
me
well
to
occupie
them
/
them
I
wolde
ye
dyd

and
also
those

,
the
which
applie

And
ye
of
your

helpe
to

,
and
further
me
in

as
moche
as
ye
can

Ye
speke
very
well
frende
Critobulus
,
sayde
Socrates
.
For
suche
craftes
,
as
be
called
handye
craftes
,
they
be
very
abiecte
and
vile
/
and
littell
regarded
and
estemed
in
cities

common

:
For
they
do
destroye
the

of

that
do
occupie

/
whan
they
make
them
to
sytte
euermore

to
be

vppe
alwaye
in

and
some
make

And
whan

/
the
stomacke

muste
nedes
to

And
agayne
,
they
haue

leysure
to
sette

and
diligence
to
do
theyr

any

nor

Wherfore
suche

seme
to
be

a

to
theyr
frendes
at
a

,
nor
no
good

to

And
for
a
suertie
in
some
cities
and
common
welthes
,
and
specially
suche
as
be
daylye
in
warre
/
hit
is
not
lawfull
to
neuer

to

no

.
And
what
faculties
wyll
ye
counsayle
me
to
vse
gentyll
Socrates
?
So.
Let
not
vs
thynke
scorne
,
nor
be
ashamed
to
folowe
the
kynge
of
the
Persis
.
For
they
saye
,
that
he
/
supposynge
the
science
of
warre
/
and
also
of
husbandrye
to
be
mooste
honorable
/
and
also
necessarye
amonge
other
faculties
,
dothe
regarde
and
exercise
them
wondersly
.
And
whan
Critobulus
harde
that
/
he
sayde
:
Do
ye
thynke
,
that
the
kynge
of
Persia
carethe
any
thynge
for
husbandrye
?
If
we
consydre
hit
after
this
maner
,
sayde
Socrates
,
we
shall
parauenture
come
to
knowlege
,
whether
he
dothe
or
not
.
For
euery
man
graunteth
,
that
he
settethe
sore
his
studie
vpon
suche
thinges
,
as
longe
to
warre
.
For
it
is
apointed
to
euery
lieutenant
&
lorde
of
the
countres
vnderneth
hym
,
howe
many
men
of
armes
,
morispikes
,
bylles
,
archers
,
and
crosbowes
they
shall
haue
redy
in
theyr
wages
,
either
to
kepe
his
subiectes
from
rebellion
for
feare
,
or
to
kepe
the
countre
,
if
enmyes
do
inuade
it
.
Beside
these
he
layth
garisons
in
all
the
towres
and
castels
,
and
there
is
a
capitayne
apoynted
to
paye
them
truely
theyr
wages
,
and
to
se
that
there
be
no
faute
in
hit
.
And
the
kynge
causeth
euery
twelue
monthe
the
musters
to
be
made
of
al
them
that
be
in
his
wages
,
and
be
apoynted
to
be
redye
in
harneis
at
any
tyme
/
and
so
bryngeth
them
all
together
,
those
reserued
that
be
in
garisons
,
in
to
a
place
,
that
they
call
the
place
of
congregation
.
And
suche
as
be
nighe
his
manour
and
his
dwellyng
place
,
he
ouerloketh
them
hym selfe
.
But
they
that
dwelle
in
farre
countrees
,
he
sendethe
thyther
some
,
that
he
trusteth
beste
to
haue
the
ouer
syghte
of
them
.
And
those
heedes
,
rulers
,
and
capitaines
,
whether
they
haue
many
or
fewe
vnder
them
,
if
they
brynge
forthe
theyr
full
nombre
/
that
is
apoynted
vnto
them
/
well
harneised
and
well
horsed
,
and
wel
furnisshed
of
al
maner
of
thinges
,
he
gyueth
very
great
prayse
and
honour
to
the
lieutenantes
and
to
the
lordes
,
and
gyuethe
them
many
great
gyftes
and
rewardes
,
so
that
they
be
riche
for
euer
.
But
whan
he
fyndeth
/
that
his
lordes
,
his
lieutenauntes
,
and
deputies
haue
no
regarde
to
the
capitaynes
of
his
soudiours
,
but
catche
and
polle
,
and
care
but
onely
for
their
owne
vantage
,
he
punissheth
them
sore
,
he
putteth
them
out
of
their
officis
,
and
setteth
other
in
their
stede
.
In
doinge
those
thinges
,
there
is
no
man
that
doubteth
/
but
that
he
applieth
his
mynde
and
his
studie
very
sore
to
warre
.
But
beside
this
/
al
the
countrey
/
that
is
therby
/
where
he
dwelleth
/
he
rydeth
aboute
hym selfe
/
takynge
hede
and
markynge
howe
hit
is
tylled
and
laboured
.
But
whan
a
countrey
is
so
farre
of
,
that
he
can
not
come
to
se
it
hym selfe
/
he
sendeth
them
,
that
he
trustethe
beste
,
to
ouer
se
it
.
And
whan
he
fyndeth
,
that
his
lieutenantes
and
deputies
do
kepe
the
countrey
wel
inhabited
/
the
grounde
wel
plowed
and
laboured
,
full
of
suche
trees
as
the
countre
wyll
beare
,
he
promoteth
them
to
the
rule
of
more
countres
,
he
gyueth
them
great
presentes
,
and
dothe
them
great
honour
.
But
whan
he
findeth
the
countre
deserte
and
vnhabited
,
the
grounde
vntilled
and
vnlaboured
,
by
cause
of
their
negligence
/
wronges
doinge
,
extorsions
,
&
cruelties
,
he
punissheth
them
,
he
putteth
them
out
of
theyr
offices
/
and
setteth
other
in
theyr
rowmes
.
In
doinge
these
thinges
,
do
ye
thynke
,
that
he
setteth
lesse
his
mynde
to
haue
his
countre
wel
replenysshed
of
dwellers
,
and
well
tylled
and
laboured
/
than
that
the
soudiours
shuld
defende
hit
well
?
Moreouer
of
the
lieutenantes
and
deputies
/
that
he
hath
,
One
man
hath
not
the
charge
of
two
thynges
at
ones
.
For
some
of
them
be
apoynted
to
haue
the
ouersyghte
of
the
husbande
men
and
labourers
/
and
to gether
the
tithes
and
tributes
of
them
.
And
there
be
other
,
that
haue
the
ouersighte
of
the
soudiours
/
and
of
the
garisons
.
And
if
the
lieutenant
of
the
garison
do
not
his
duetie
in
kepynge
and
defendynge
the
countree
,
he
that
is
the
lieutenaunt
of
the
housbande
men
and
labourers
/
accuseth
the
tother
lieutenaunt
,
that
they
can
not
plie
theyr
worke
for
lacke
of
good
defence
.
But
if
the
lieutenaunt
of
the
garyson
dothe
his
deutye
/
and
kepethe
the
countre
in
peace
,
so
that
they
may
worke
at
theyr
pleasure
/
and
the
lieutenant
of
the
husbande
men
dothe
not
se
to
the
countrey
/
that
hit
be
well
inhabited
/
and
that
the
housbande
men
applie
theyr
worke
as
they
shulde
,
than
the
lieutenant
of
the
garyson
accuseth
him
agayne
.
For
whan
the
housbande
men
do
not
labour
well
,
the
soudiours
can
scante
gette
vitayles
/
nor
the
kyng
can
haue
his
tribute
.
And
in
some
countres
of
Persia
a
great
lorde
,
that
they
call
Satrapa
,
occupiethe
the
rowme
of
bothe
lieutenantes
.
Than
spake
Critobulus
,
and
sayde
:
If
the
kynge
dothe
,
as
ye
say
/
he
taketh
as
moche
hede
to
husbandrye
,
as
he
doth
to
warre
.
So.
More
ouer
in
what
so
euer
countre
he
liethe
/
and
where
so
euer
he
makethe
his
abydynge
,
he
settethe
his
mynde
to
haue
goodlye
fayre
gardeynes
/
that
they
calle
in
theyr
tonge
Paradise
,
fulle
of
all
maner
of
thynges
,
that
the
erthe
bryngeth
forthe
.
And
there
he
bydethe
for
the
moste
parte
/
as
longe
as
the
tyme
of
the
yere
dothe
not
lette
hym
.
Than
by
my
faythe
,
sayde
Critobulus
,
seinge
that
he
bydeth
there
hym selfe
,
he
must
nedes
do
his
diligence
,
that
these
gardeynes
maye
be
as
fayre
and
as
goodly
as
can
be
/
well
replenisshed
with
trees
/
and
all
maner
of
thynges
/
that
the
erthe
can
brynge
forthe
.
And
also
some
say
,
good
Critobulus
,
sayde
Socrates
,
that
whan
the
kynge
gyueth
any
rewardes
,
that
he
calleth
them
fyrste
,
that
haue
behaued
them selfes
manly
in
the
warres
,
bicause
it
were
to
none
effecte
to
tylle
and
labour
the
grounde
,
excepte
there
were
some
,
that
shuld
defende
it
.
And
nexte
to
them
he
callethe
those
/
that
haue
prouided
/
that
the
countre
shulde
not
be
ydell
,
but
well
occupied
and
laboured
/
saying
,
that
the
valiant
men
of
warre
coude
not
lyue
,
if
the
good
labourers
were
not
.
And
they
say
,
that
Cyrus
,
the
whiche
hath
ben
a
very
famous
,
and
an
excellent
kynge
,
saide
vpon
a
tyme
vnto
them
,
that
he
called
vnto
hym
to
gyue
them
rewardes
,
that
he
hym selfe
was
well
worthy
to
haue
the
rewardes
of
them
bothe
.
For
he
saide
,
that
he
was
verye
good
bothe
to
se
the
countrey
wel
laboured
,
and
also
to
kepe
&
defende
it
.
Forsothe
,
saide
Critobulus
,
if
Cirus
dyd
say
so
,
he
dyd
shewe
plainly
,
that
he
had
as
greatte
pleasure
/
that
the
countre
shulde
be
wel
occupied
,
as
to
haue
good
men
of
warre
.
So.
By
my
faithe
,
if
Cirus
had
lyued
,
he
wold
haue
proued
a
very
noble
prince
:
and
of
that
he
shewed
many
great
and
euident
tokens
at
diuers
tymes
,
and
amonge
the
tother
/
whan
he
came
forthe
agaynste
his
brother
to
trie
by
batayle
,
who
shulde
be
kynge
.
For
they
say
/
that
from
Cirus
no
man
fled
to
the
kyng
/
but
many
thousandes
lefte
the
kynge
to
come
and
serue
Cirus
.
And
me
thynketh
this
is
a
great
argument
of
a
princis
vertue
/
whan
men
do
obey
hym
with
their
owne
good
wyll
,
and
be
glad
to
abyde
with
hym
in
tyme
of
ieopardie
.
For
Cirus
frendes
stode
fightynge
aboute
hym
whiles
he
was
yet
alyue
,
and
whan
he
was
slayne
/
they
fightyng
moste
valiantly
were
slayne
all
beside
hym
,
excepte
Arieus
,
the
whiche
was
set
in
the
lefte
wynge
.
This
gentyll
Cirus
,
whan
Lysander
came
to
hym
,
to
brynge
hym
presentes
from
the
cities
of
Grece
confederated
vnto
him
,
they
say
,
as
Lysander
shewed
hym selfe
to
a
frende
of
his
in
the
towne
of
Megara
/
that
he
receiued
him
with
moche
humanite
,
&
amonge
other
thynges
he
shewed
hym
a
gardeyne
,
that
was
called
the
Paradis
of
Sardis
.
But
whan
Lysander
beganne
to
maruayle
at
it
,
by
cause
the
trees
were
so
faire
and
so
egally
sette
/
and
the
orders
of
the
trees
lay
streyghte
one
agaynst
an
other
,
and
made
goodly
angles
&
corners
well
ꝓporcioned
/
and
many
swete
and
pleasant
sauours
came
to
theyr
noses
,
whan
they
were
walkynge
,
he
wondrynge
therupon
sayde
thus
:
Forsothe
Cirus
the
great
beautifulnes
of
these
thinges
is
a
greatte
maruayle
to
me
,
but
I
wonder
moche
more
of
him
,
that
hath
measured
and
sette
them
thus
in
order
.
Than
Cirus
,
whan
he
herde
this
dyd
reioyce
and
saye
:
All
these
that
ye
se
I
haue
measured
them
,
and
sette
them
in
order
,
and
I
can
shewe
you
some
trees
,
that
I
haue
set
with
myne
owne
handes
.
And
Lysander
whan
he
had
loked
vpon
hym
,
and
beholden
his
goodly
apparell
,
and
felte
the
good
fauour
that
came
from
it
/
and
the
estimable
fayrenes
of
his
golden
chaynes
/
his
rynges
,
and
his
precious
stones
,
sayde
:
What
saye
ye
Cirus
,
haue
ye
sette
any
of
these
with
your
owne
handes
?
Than
Cirus
answered
.
Do
ye
maruayle
of
this
Lysander
?
By
the
faythe
that
I
owe
to
god
,
whan
I
am
well
at
ease
/
I
neuer
go
to
dyner
vnto
the
time
I
haue
done
somwhat
,
outher
in
feates
of
armes
,
or
in
some
poynte
of
husbandrye
tyl
I
swete
.
Than
,
whan
Lysander
herde
this
,
he
toke
hym
by
the
hande
and
sayde
:
Me
thynkethe
Cirus
,
ye
be
fortunate
not
without
a
cause
.
For
ye
be
fortunate
beinge
a
good
man
.
And
this
I
reherse
vnto
you
myne
owne
Critobulus
,
sayd
Socrates
,
for
this
cause
,
that
ye
maye
se
/
that
they
that
be
ryche
and
fortunate
,
can
not
well
kepe

frome

.
For

and

that

in

For

seinge
it

And
what

wyll
make
a

more
apte
to

,
to

and
also
to

,

What

What

Where
shall

Wher
shall
a

haue

?
And
where
is
more

in

Where
may
a

make
better

and
more
triumphant
bankettes
?
And
if
they
/
that
haue
bene
brought
vppe
in
husbandrye
,
by
some
sodayne
chance
of
enmyes
,
they
that
be
lordes
of
the
countre
can
not
tyll
the
grounde
,
they
may
go
in
to
their
enmies
countres
/
seinge
they
haue
ben
well
and
hardly
broughte
vp
,
and
gette
there
as
moche
,
if
god
be
not
agaynst
them
,
as
wyll
suffice
them
to
lyue
with
.
And
hit
is
often
tymes
more
sure
to
seke
for
his
lyuynge
,
in
tyme
of
warre
/
with
weapons
of
warre
/
than
with
instrumentes
of
husbandry
.
Husbandry
also
teacheth
men
to
helpe
one
an
other
.
If
we
wyl
go
to
warre
,
we
must
haue
men
,
nor
the
grounde
can
not
be
laboured
without
men
.
And
therfore
he
that
wyll
be
a
good
husbande
man
/
he
must
get
hym
good
lustye
worke
men
,
and
wyllynge
to
do
after
hym
/
and
obeye
hym
.
And
the
selfe
same
thyng
he
must
go
about
to
bringe
to
passe
,
that
leadeth
an
armie
to
fyghte
agaynst
his
enmies
,
gyuyng
great
rewardes
vnto
them
,
that
behaue
them selfes
like
good
valiant
men
,
and
punisshe
them
that
be
stoburne
/
and
wyll
not
be
ordred
.
And
he
that
is
a
good
husbande
,
must
as
often
times
cal
vpon
his
labourers
,
and
comfort
them
,
as
the
capitayne
doth
his
soudiours
.
And
bounde
men
haue
as
great
nede
to
be
comforted
,
and
meynteyned
with
good
hope
,
as
other
fre
men
/
yea
and
rather
more
,
to
th
ende
they
runne
not
away
,
but
be
gladde
to
byde
stylle
.
And
surely
he
sayde
verye
well
,
that
called
husbandrye
the
mother
and
the
nource
of
all
other
sciences
.
For
if
husbandrye
dothe
stande
well
,
all
other
sciences
&
faculties
do
the
better
.
But
if
the
grounde
be
barayne
/
and
can
beare
no
frute
,
al
other
sciences
be
all
moste
spilled
both
by
see
and
by
lande
.
Whan
Critobulus
hadde
harde
this
/
he
spake
after
this
maner
.
Me
thinketh
,
good
Socrates
,
ye
speke
very
wel
in
this
matter
.
But
ye
knowe
very
wel
,
that
the
most
parte
of
suche
thinges
/
as
longe
to
husbandrye
/
a
man
can
not
caste
them
afore
hande
.
For
often
tymes
hayle
stones
,
drought
,
or
continuall
rayne
,
myste
,
or
vermyne
,
that
eate
vp
the
sede
that
is
in
the
grounde
/
do
put
vs
beside
our
intent
and
purpose
,
if
it
were
neuer
so
good
.
And
shepe
lyke
wyse
/
if
they
be
in
neuer
so
good
pasture
/
there
comethe
a
sickenes
,
that
destroyeth
them
al.
Socrates
,
whan
he
harde
that
/
said
agayne
.
I
thought
that
ye
knewe
well
,
that
god
is
aboue
all
/
as
well
in
husbandry
as
he
is
in
warre
.
We
se
that
they
that
wyll
make
warre
,
that
afore
they
begynne
,
they
make
their
vowes
,
prayers
/
and
sacrifices
,
desyryng
to
knowe
,
what
is
best
to
do
/
and
what
is
not
best
.
And
thynke
ye
,
that
in
those
thynges
,
that
longe
to
husbandry
/
we
shulde
haue
lesse
recourse
to
god
?
Be
ye
sure
of
this
,
that
good
and
honest
men
do
worshyp
almighty
god
with
oblations
/
and
prayers
,
for
all
theyr
frutes
,
theyr
oxen
,
theyr
shepe
,
and
theyr
horses
,
and
generally
for
al
that
they
haue
.
Me
thynketh
good
Socrates
,
said
Critobulus
,
that
ye
speke
very
well
in
this
matter
,
whan
ye
byd
to
begyn
euery
thinge
with
the
trust
of
the
helpe
/
and
of
the
grace
of
god
/
seinge
that
god
is
aboue
al
thinges
/
as
well
in
warre
as
in
peace
.
And
therfore
we
wyll
endeuour
vs
to
do
so
.
But
seinge
your
purpose
was
to
speake
here
of
the
ordryng
of
an
house
/
the
whiche
ye
haue
lefte
,
and
be
entred
in
to
an
other
tale
,
endeuour
your selfe
to
shewe
vs
a
littell
more
,
what
foloweth
nexte
to
that
that
ye
lefte
.
For
nowe
that
I
haue
harde
you
saye
that
that
ye
haue
spoken
,
me
semeth
I
se
moche
better
than
afore
/
what
a
man
must
do
for
to
lyue
.
Wherfore
Socrates
sayde
:
But
wyll
ye
,
that
we
reherse
all
that
we
haue
spoken
afore
,
and
agreed
in
,
to
th
intent
that
we
may
,
if
we
can
,
go
forth
in
this
matter
/
bringyng
suche
thing
as
we
shal
like
wise
agree
vpon
?
Me
thynketh
that
lyke
wyse
/
as
hit
wolde
be
a
great
pleasure
,
whan
two
men
haue
lente
money
one
to
an
other
,
to
agree
vpon
the
rekeninge
:
So
nowe
in
our
communication
/
vttrynge
our
myndes
one
to
an
other
,
if
we
myght
gree
in
one
tale
.
Well
than
,
sayd
Socrates
,
we
agreed
vpon
this
,
that
the
ordrynge
of
an
house
is
the
name
of
a
science
,
and
that
semeth
to
be
the
science
,
to
order
and
increace
the
house
.
And
we
toke
the
house
for
all
a
mans
possessions
and
goodes
.
And
we
sayde
,
that
was
truely
the
possession
and
goodes
of
a
man
,
the
whiche
was
profitable
vnto
hym
for
his
lyuynge
/
and
we
founde
al
that
profitable
/
that
a
man
coude
vse
and
order
.
And
therfore
we
thoughte
impossible
for
a
man
to
lerne
all
maner
of
sciences
.
And
as
for
all
the
handye
craftes
,
we
thoughte
beste
to
expelle
them
from
vs
/
lyke
wyse
as
many
cities
and
common
welthes
dyd
.
For
they
seme
bothe
to
distroye
a
mannes
body
,
and
to
breke
a
mannes
harte
and
stomacke
.
And
herof
/
we
sayde
,
that
this
myghte
be
an
euident
token
.
For
if
the
enmyes
dyd
inuade
the
countres
,
and
one
dyd
sette
the
husbande
men
and
the
artificers
a
syde
diuided
in
two
partes
,
and
asked
them
,
whether
they
had
leuer
to
come
forthe
and
pitche
the
felde
to
fighte
with
their
enmyes
,
or
els
to
gyue
vp
the
feldes
/
and
kepe
and
defende
the
cities
:
They
that
haue
bene
vsed
in
the
feldes
and
husbandrye
wolde
be
gladde
to
fighte
,
to
delyuer
the
countre
.
But
on
the
tother
side
,
the
artificers
wolde
do
that
that
they
haue
bene
broughte
vp
in
,
that
is
to
sytte
stylle
/
neuer
labourynge
,
nor
neuer
puttynge
them selfes
in
preace
,
nor
in
ieopardie
.
More
ouer
we
commended
housbandrye
for
a
good
exercise
and
a
good
occupation
for
a
good
and
an
honest
man
/
by
the
whiche
men
may
haue
al
that
is
necessarie
for
them
.
For
it
is
an
occupation
very
sone
lerned
,
and
very
pleasant
to
be
occupied
in
it
:
the
whiche
also
maketh
a
mannes
bodye
myghty
,
stronge
/
well
complexioned
/
and
well
fauoured
/
his
stomacke
and
his
spirite
to
be
alwaye
lustye
and
redye
to
do
for
his
frendes
/
and
for
his
countre
.
More
ouer
,
we
iugged
that
hit
gaue
men
harte
and
courage
to
be
valiant
and
hardy
/
seinge
the
frutes
,
Than
sayde
Critobulus
,
I
am
after
my
mynde
sufficiently
perswaded
/
that
a
man
may
haue
a
very
good
,
an
honest
,
and
a
pleasant
lyuynge
in
occupienge
husbandry
.
But
where
ye
sayd
,
that
ye
knewe
the
cause
,
that
some
dyd
so
vse
and
occupie
husbandrye
/
that
they
had
by
hit
plentie
of
all
maner
of
thinges
,
that
they
neded
:
and
some
agayne
,
that
so
ordred
them selfes
in
hit
,
that
hit
auayled
them
nothynge
,
these
two
thynges
wolde
I
gladly
here
of
you
,
to
th
entent
we
may
do
that
that
is
good
,
and
eschewe
that
that
is
contrarye
.
But
what
if
I
do
tel
you
swete
Critobulus
,
sayde
Socrates
,
euen
from
the
begynnyng
,
what
communication
I
had
ones
with
a
man
,
the
whiche
might
be
called
truely
/
&
in
dede
a
good
honest
man
?
That
wolde
I
here
verye
fayne
sayde
Critobulus
.
For
I
my selfe
do
greatly
desyre
/
that
I
may
be
worthy
of
that
goodly
name
.
Than
wyll
I
tell
you
/
howe
I
came
fyrste
to
the
consideration
of
this
.
For
as
touchynge
good
carpenters
,
good
ioyners
,
good
peynters
,
good
ymagers
,
me
thought
,
that
I
myghte
in
a
littel
tyme
se
and
beholde
their
warkes
moste
allowed
and
best
accepted
/
that
made
them
to
be
so
called
.
But
to
th
ende
I
might
se
and
beholde
,
howe
they
that
hadde
that
goodly
and
honorable
name
of
a
good
and
an
honest
man
,
dyd
behaue
them selfes
to
be
worthy
of
it
,
my
mynde
dyd
coueyte
greatly
to
talke
with
one
of
them
.
And
firste
of
all
for
bicause
Good
and
Honest
,
wente
to gether
,
whan
so
euer
I
sawe
any
goodly
man
,
I
drewe
to
hym
/
and
wente
aboute
to
knowe
of
hym
,
if
I
myghte
se
Good
and
Honest
,
in
a
goodly
man
.
But
it
wold
nat
be
.
For
me
thoughte
that
I
founde
/
that
there
were
many
with
goodlye
bodies
and
fayre
visages
/
that
hadde
but
yuell
disposed
and
vngratious
soules
.
Than
me
thought
it
best
to
enquere
no
further
of
goodly
bodies
/
but
to
get
me
to
one
of
them
/
that
were
called
good
and
honest
men
.
And
for
bicause
I
harde
,
that
Ischomachus
was
generally
,
bothe
of
men
,
women
,
citezins
and
straungers
,
called
and
taken
for
a
good
honeste
man
,
me
thoughte
I
coude
do
no
better
,
than
to
proue
howe
I
myghte
commune
with
hym
.
And
vpon
a
tyme
,
whan
I
sawe
hym
sittyng
in
a
porche
of
a
churche
,
for
bicause
me
thought
he
was
at
leyser
,
I
came
to
hym
,
and
set
me
downe
by
hym
,
and
saide
:
What
is
the
cause
good
Ischomachus
,
that
ye
,
whiche
be
wonte
to
be
euer
more
occupied
,
syt
here
nowe
after
this
maner
,
for
I
haue
sene
you
for
the
most
parte
euermore
doinge
some
what
,
&
lightly
neuer
ydell
,
excepte
hit
were
very
littell
?
Nor
ye
shulde
not
nowe
haue
seene
me
good
Socrates
,
said
he
,
sytting
after
this
maner
,
if
I
had
not
apoynted
with
certaine
straungers
to
tarye
here
for
them
.
And
if
ye
were
not
here
,
where
wolde
ye
haue
bene
,
or
howe
wolde
ye
haue
ben
occupied
,
sayde
I
to
hym
?
For
I
wolde
knowe
of
you
very
fayne
,
what
thyng
ye
do
,
that
maketh
you
to
be
called
a
good
and
an
honest
man
?
The
good
complection
of
your
body
sheweth
well
ynough
,
that
ye
byde
not
alway
slougginge
at
home
.
And
than
Ischomachus
,
laughynge
at
that
that
I
sayde
,
what
do
ye
,
that
makethe
you
to
be
called
a
good
and
an
honeste
man
,
and
reioysynge
in
his
harte
/
as
me
thoughte
by
hym
/
sayde
?
I
can
not
telle
if
any
man
callethe
me
so
/
whan
you
and
he
talke
of
me
,
but
whan
I
muste
paye
money
/
or
for
taxes
,
preastis
/
or
subsidies
,
they
calle
me
playnelye
by
my
name
Ischomachus
.
And
in
dede
good
Socrates
,
I
do
nat
alwaye
byde
at
home
,
for
my
wyfe
can
order
well
inoughe
suche
thynges
as
I
haue
there
.
Yea
but
this
wolde
I
knowe
of
you
very
fayne
,
Dyd
ye
your selfe
brynge
your
wyfe
to
this
;
or
els
had
her
father
and
her
mother
brought
her
vppe
,
sufficiently
to
order
an
house
afore
she
came
to
you
?
Ischo
.
Howe
coude
she
haue
bene
so
,
whan
she
was
but
fyftene
yere
olde
,
whan
I
maryed
her
?
and
afore
she
had
ben
so
negligently
brought
vppe
/
that
she
had
but
very
littell
seene
,
very
littell
harde
,
and
very
littell
spoken
of
the
worlde
.
And
I
trowe
ye
wolde
not
thynke
it
sufficient
in
her
,
if
she
coude
do
nothynge
but
spynne
and
carde
/
and
sette
the
hande
maydens
to
worke
.
As
for
suche
thynges
as
concerne
the
lower
partes
of
the
bely
,
good
Socrates
,
sayde
he
,
she
had
bene
very
well
broughte
vp
,
the
whiche
is
no
smalle
poynte
of
good
bryngynge
vppe
,
bothe
in
a
man
and
in
a
woman
.
And
dyd
ye
teache
your
wyfe
all
the
remenant
,
saide
I
,
so
that
she
is
able
to
take
hede
to
all
maner
of
thynges
?
Yes
,
sayde
he
,
but
not
afore
I
had
made
my
prayers
to
all
myghty
god
,
desirynge
hym
,
that
he
wolde
gyue
me
the
grace
,
to
teache
her
so
,
and
her
to
lerne
that
of
me
,
that
shulde
be
good
&
profitable
to
vs
bothe
.
And
dyd
your
wyfe
make
the
selfe
same
prayer
with
you
,
sayde
I
?
Yes
mary
,
saide
Ischomachus
,
and
it
semed
in
a
maner
,
that
god
dyd
promise
euidently
,
and
she
like
wise
shewed
with
clere
and
manifeste
tokens
,
that
she
wolde
very
well
regarde
and
take
hede
to
that
that
she
shulde
be
taught
.
For
goddis
sake
good
Ischomachus
,
sayde
I
,
what
dyd
ye
begynne
to
teache
hir
firste
:
for
I
had
leauer
here
you
tell
me
suche
a
thynge
/
than
if
ye
shulde
discriue
me
a
iustynge
or
a
turnament
,
though
it
had
bene
neuer
so
triumphant
?
Mary
I
wyl
tell
you
Socrates
,
saide
he
.
Whan
we
were
ones
so
wel
acqueinted
,
&
so
familiar
/
that
we
talked
to gether
,
I
examined
her
after
this
maner
.
Tell
me
good
bedfelowe
,
did
ye
euer
cast
in
your
minde
,
for
what
cause
I
haue
taken
you
,
and
your
father
and
your
mother
deliuered
you
vnto
me
?
I
trowe
ye
knowe
well
inoughe
,
that
I
toke
you
not
for
nede
,
that
I
had
of
a
bedfelowe
to
lye
with
me
,
for
I
myghte
haue
had
inowe
at
my
commandment
.
But
whan
I
had
considered
in
my
mynde
,
and
your
father
and
your
mother
lyke
wyse
,
that
hit
were
well
done
,
to
fynde
out
a
good
one
to
be
parte
taker
both
of
our
house
,
and
of
our
children
/
I
chose
you
afore
all
other
,
and
your
father
and
mother
like
wise
chose
me
.
Wherfore
if
here
after
god
gyue
vs
the
grace
/
that
we
may
haue
children
to gether
,
we
shall
take
counsayle
/
howe
to
brynge
them
vp
and
instructe
them
in
vertue
.
For
it
shall
be
for
bothe
our
profettes
to
haue
them
,
bothe
to
defende
vs
/
and
to
helpe
and
nourisshe
vs
in
our
olde
age
.
Now
the
house
that
we
haue
is
common
to
vs
bothe
.
For
all
that
euer
I
haue
,
I
haue
shewed
you
and
delyuered
it
vnto
you
to
kepe
for
both
our
behoues
:
and
ye
lyke
wyse
haue
done
the
same
.
And
ye
may
not
caste
in
your
mynde
,
whiche
of
vs
bothe
broughte
more
.
Than
my
wyfe
,
good
Socrates
,
answered
here
vnto
after
this
maner
.
Wherin
can
I
helpe
you
,
saide
she
?
or
wherin
maye
my
littell
power
do
you
any
good
?
For
truly
my
mother
tolde
me
,
that
all
to gether
laye
in
your
handes
,
and
that
hit
belonged
vnto
me
/
to
be
sobre
and
lyue
in
chastite
.
Mary
so
it
is
good
wyfe
,
sayde
I
,
and
so
my
father
tolde
me
to
.
But
hit
is
the
poynt
of
a
sobre
husbande
/
and
of
a
sobre
wyfe
/
to
do
so
,
that
that
,
the
whiche
they
haue
,
may
be
well
ordred
and
guyded
/
&
to
encreace
and
get
more
to
it
,
by
some
good
&
rightful
way
.
And
what
do
ye
se
in
me
,
sayde
my
wyfe
,
that
I
may
encreace
our
house
,
if
I
do
applie
it
?
Mary
,
sayd
I
,
if
ye
endeuoir
your selfe
to
do
those
thinges
to
the
beste
of
your
power
/
the
whiche
bothe
god
wylleth
,
that
ye
shulde
do
,
&
the
lawe
exhorteth
you
to
it
.
And
what
thynges
be
those
,
sayde
she
?
Verily
,
saide
I
,
no
smalle
thynges
,
excepte
ye
thynke
,
that
that
Bee
dothe
but
a
littell
good
,
the
whiche
remaineth
styl
in
the
hyue
,
to
ouer
se
the
warkes
,
whan
the
other
go
abrode
to gether
floures
.
And
forsothe
me
thynketh
/
that
god
almyghty
hath
sette
to gether
for
many
good
causes
and
consyderations
,
that
goodlye
couple
/
that
is
the
husbande
and
the
wyfe
,
to
th
entente
that
they
shulde
be
moste
profitable
one
to
an
other
in
that
good
felawshyp
.
And
where
that
bothe
those
thynges
,
that
muste
be
done
abrode
,
And
he
also
perceyuynge
,
that
if
any
man
dothe
hym
wronge
,
the
whiche
laboureth
and
worketh
without
,
he
must
defende
hym selfe
,
he
distributed
to
the
man
a
great
deale
more
boldnes
.
And
for
bicause
it
behoueth
,
that
bothe
they
do
gyue
and
receyue
,
he
hath
gyuen
them
indifferently
remembrance
and
diligence
,
in
so
moche
/
that
it
is
harde
to
discerne
,
whether
kinde
hath
more
of
them
/
either
the
man
or
the
woman
.
He
hath
also
graunted
them
indifferently
to
refraine
them selfes
from
suche
thinges
,
as
is
conuenient
they
do
.
And
hath
gyuen
them
power
and
auctorite
,
that
loke
in
what
thynge
the
either
of
them
dothe
the
better
/
he
bringeth
the
more
away
with
hym
.
But
bicause
the
natures
and
the
dispositions
of
them
bothe
be
not
egallye
so
perfecte
in
all
these
thinges
,
they
haue
so
moche
the
more
nede
the
tone
of
the
tother
.
And
this
couple
is
so
moche
the
more
profitable
the
tone
to
the
tother
,
bicause
that
that
the
tone
lacketh
the
tother
hath
.
wherfore
good
wyfe
,
seinge
we
se
that
,
whiche
god
hath
ordeined
for
vs
bothe
,
we
muste
enforce
/
and
endeuour
our selfes
to
do
bothe
our
partis
in
the
beste
wyse
.
The
lawe
semeth
to
comforte
vs
and
exhorte
vs
to
it
,
the
whiche
coupleth
man
&
wyfe
to gether
.
And
lyke
wyse
as
god
makethe
them
come
to gether
to
gette
children
,
So
the
lawe
wyll
haue
them
liue
to gether
partakers
one
of
an
others
goodes
in
good
felawshyp
.
Lyke
wyse
the
lawe
sheweth
,
and
god
commandeth
,
that
it
is
beste
for
eche
of
them
to
do
theyr
parte
.
For
it
is
more
honestie
for
a
woman
to
kepe
her
house
,
than
to
walke
aboute
.
And
it
is
more
shame
for
a
man
to
byde
slouggynge
at
home
/
than
to
applie
his
mynde
to
suche
thynges
as
muste
be
done
abrode
.
But
if
any
man
dothe
contrarye
to
that
that
he
is
naturally
borne
to
/
parauenture
god
wyll
remembre
,
that
he
breaketh
his
statutis
and
decrees
/
and
wyll
punisshe
hym
/
outher
for
bicause
he
is
negligent
in
that
that
he
shulde
do
/
or
elles
bycause
he
takethe
vpon
hym
that
that
belongeth
to
the
wyfe
.
Me
thynketh
also
/
that
the
maistres
bee
/
that
kepeth
the
hyue
,
dothe
lyke
wyse
that
that
god
hath
ordeyned
her
vnto
.
And
what
dothe
the
maistres
bee
,
sayde
she
,
And
me
thoughte
,
sayde
Ischomachus
,
that
hit
was
an
answere
of
a
good
and
an
honeste
wyfe
.
And
by
the
reason
of
this
good
prouision
of
this
maistres
bee
,
sayde
I
,
all
the
tother
beare
so
good
loue
and
affection
vnto
her
,
that
whan
so
euer
she
goth
out
of
the
hyue
/
there
wyll
none
tarye
behynde
,
but
all
wayte
vpon
her
.
Than
my
wyfe
answered
me
.
I
do
great
lye
maruayle
/
whether
suche
thynges
,
as
ye
saye
the
maistres
bee
dothe
,
do
not
belonge
moche
more
to
you
than
to
me
.
For
my
kepyng
and
departing
within
,
were
but
a
littell
worthe
,
excepte
ye
dyd
your
diligence
,
that
somwhat
myght
be
brought
in
.
And
my
bryngynge
in
,
sayde
I
,
shulde
auayle
but
a
littell
,
excepte
there
were
one
/
that
kepte
&
saued
that
,
that
I
brought
in
.
Do
ye
not
se
,
sayde
I
,
howe
euery
man
hath
great
pite
of
them
,
the
which
,
they
say
,
that
their
punisshement
is
to
poure
water
in
to
tubbes
full
of
hooles
,
tyll
they
be
full
.
And
they
pite
them
for
nothinge
els
,
but
by
cause
they
seme
to
labour
in
vayne
.
By
my
fayth
,
said
my
wyfe
,
they
be
very
miserable
in
dede
,
the
which
do
so
.
There
be
other
thynges
,
that
belonge
to
you
to
take
hede
of
,
the
whiche
muste
nedes
be
very
pleasant
vnto
you
/
as
whan
ye
haue
taken
one
in
to
your
seruice
,
that
can
nother
spynne
nor
carde
/
if
ye
teache
her
to
do
it
,
hit
shall
be
twyse
so
moche
more
worthe
vnto
you
.
And
if
ye
haue
a
maide
,
the
whiche
is
outher
negligent
,
or
is
not
trewe
of
her
handes
,
or
that
can
not
wayte
,
if
ye
make
her
diligent
,
trustye
,
and
a
good
seruant
,
all
shall
be
to
your
great
profette
.
And
agayne
,
whan
ye
se
your
seruantes
good
and
sobre
felowes
,
and
profitable
for
our
house
/
ye
muste
do
them
good
/
and
shewe
them
some
gentilnes
.
But
if
there
be
any
of
them
knauisshe
or
frowarde
,
ye
muste
punisshe
them
.
And
this
agayne
shulde
be
moste
pleasant
of
all
,
if
ye
coude
make
your selfe
better
than
I
,
and
make
me
as
it
were
your
seruant
.
And
ye
nede
not
fere
leste
in
proces
of
tyme
,
whan
ye
come
to
age
,
ye
be
lesse
set
by
:
but
be
ye
sure
of
this
,
if
ye
be
diligent
,
louynge
,
and
tendable
to
me
,
our
children
,
and
housholde
,
the
elder
that
ye
waxe
/
the
more
honorable
and
better
estemed
shal
ye
be
.
For
it
is
not
the
beautifulnes
,
and
goodlye
shappe
,
but
the
very
vertue
and
goodnes
that
men
regarde
,
and
fauour
.
I
remembre
good
Socrates
,
that
my
firste
communication
with
her
,
was
after
this
maner
.
And
dyd
ye
perceiue
,
good
Ischomachus
,
saide
I
,
that
by
the
reason
of
this
,
she
was
any
thynge
moued
to
be
more
diligent
?
Yes
verily
,
saide
Ischomachus
,
And
I
sawe
her
vpon
a
time
sore
an
angerd
with
her selfe
,
and
greatly
a
shamed
/
that
whan
I
asked
her
a
thynge
,
that
I
hadde
broughte
home
,
she
coude
not
fette
hit
me
.
And
whan
I
sawe
that
hit
greued
her
very
sore
/
I
said
vnto
her
.
Take
neuer
the
more
thoughte
for
the
matter
,
if
ye
can
not
gyue
me
that
that
I
aske
you
.
For
it
is
a
token
of
pouerte
in
very
dede
,
whan
a
man
lacketh
a
thynge
/
that
he
can
not
haue
.
But
this
nede
may
be
suffered
a
great
deale
better
/
whan
a
man
sekethe
a
thynge
and
can
not
fynde
it
/
than
if
at
the
begynnynge
he
dothe
not
seke
for
it
/
knowyng
that
he
hath
it
not
.
But
as
for
this
ye
be
not
to
be
blamed
,
saide
I
,
but
I
my selfe
/
seinge
I
haue
not
apoynted
you
a
place
,
where
to
leye
euery
thynge
that
ye
myghte
knowe
,
where
ye
shulde
set
hit
,
and
where
to
fette
hit
agayne
.
In
playes
and
enterludes
,
where
a
great
company
of
men
is
assembled
to
playe
their
partes
,
if
they
shulde
rasshely
do
and
saye
/
what
so
euer
felle
in
to
theyr
braynes
,
hit
wolde
be
but
a
trouble
and
a
busynes
/
and
no
pleasure
to
beholde
them
.
But
whan
they
do
and
speake
euerye
thynge
in
order
/
the
audience
hath
a
verye
greatte
pleasure
bothe
to
beholde
them
,
ye
and
also
to
here
them
.
And
like
wise
an
armie
of
men
swete
wife
,
said
I
,
that
is
out
of
order
,
and
sette
out
of
good
arraye
/
is
a
very
great
confusion
,
in
daunger
to
be
lightlye
ouer
come
of
theyr
enmies
,
and
a
verye
pitous
and
miserable
sighte
to
their
frendes
,
as
whan
there
is
together
in
a
plumpe
,
asses
,
fotemen
,
cartes
/
baggage
/
and
men
of
armes
.
And
howe
shulde
they
go
forwarde
,
whan
they
do
let
one
an
other
?
He
that
gothe
letteth
hym
that
runnethe
,
he
that
rounneth
distourbeth
hym
,
that
standeth
styll
,
the
carte
letteth
the
man
of
armes
,
the
asse
the
carte
/
the
baggage
the
fote
man
.
And
if
they
shulde
come
to
the
pointe
/
that
they
must
fighte
/
how
coude
they
fight
beinge
in
that
taking
?
For
whan
they
be
faine
,
by
the
reason
of
their
il
order
,
to
flee
their
owne
company
,
that
letteth
them
,
howe
coude
they
,
thus
fleinge
,
ouer
come
them
,
that
set
vpon
them
in
good
order
of
batayle
,
&
wel
weaponed
?
But
the
armie
,
that
is
wel
ordred
and
kept
in
good
array
/
is
a
very
pleasaunt
sighte
to
theyr
frendes
/
and
greuous
to
their
enmies
.
What
frende
is
there
,
but
that
he
wyll
haue
a
very
great
plesure
to
se
the
foote
men
marche
forward
in
good
order
and
arraye
?
What
is
that
man
,
but
he
wyll
maruayle
whan
he
beholdeth
a
greatte
nombre
of
men
of
armes
rydynge
in
good
arraye
and
order
?
And
what
enmie
wyll
not
be
aferde
,
whan
he
seeth
morispikes
,
bylles
/
men
of
armes
/
crosse
bowes
,
and
also
archers
,
the
whiche
folowe
their
capitaynes
in
good
arraye
and
order
of
bataile
?
And
also
whan
they
marche
forwarde
in
good
array
,
if
they
be
neuer
so
many
thousandes
,
yet
they
walke
as
pesibly
as
though
there
were
but
one
man
alone
.
And
what
maketh
a
galey
/
wel
furnisshed
with
men
,
feareful
to
the
enmies
,
and
pleasaunt
to
beholde
vnto
frendes
,
but
that
hit
goth
so
swyftly
?
And
what
maketh
them
that
be
in
it
/
that
they
do
not
trouble
one
an
other
/
but
that
they
do
sytte
in
order
/
keke
&
make
signes
in
order
,
lye
downe
in
order
,
ryse
in
order
,
drawe
the
oores
in
order
?
And
as
for
confusion
&
misorder
/
me
thynketh
hit
is
lyke
/
as
if
a
man
of
the
countree
shuld
put
together
on
a
heape
,
otes
,
wheate
,
barlye
,
and
pease
/
and
whan
he
had
nede
to
occupie
any
of
them
,
he
shulde
be
fayne
to
trie
hit
out
,
and
put
hit
by
hit selfe
agayne
.
Wherfore
swete
wyfe
/
ye
shall
lyghtlye
eschewe
suche
confusion
,
if
ye
putte
to
your
good
wyl
to
set
in
good
order
that
that
we
haue
,
and
take
to
you
that
that
ye
haue
nede
of
/
and
spare
not
:
and
gyue
to
me
that
that
I
call
for
gratiously
.
And
let
vs
seke
out
and
prepare
a
hansome
place
to
sette
euery
thynge
in
/
accordynge
as
euery
thinge
requireth
.
And
whan
we
haue
sette
it
there
/
let
vs
shewe
hit
the
seruante
,
that
she
maye
fetche
hit
,
and
laye
hit
vppe
there
agayne
.
And
thus
we
shall
knowe
/
what
we
haue
saued
,
&
what
we
haue
loste
.
For
the
place
hit
selfe
shall
lacke
that
that
it
shulde
haue
.
And
the
sight
wyl
serche
out
that
that
hath
nede
of
helpe
/
and
make
vs
to
knowe
anone
where
liethe
euery
thynge
,
so
that
we
shall
not
be
to

,
whan
we
haue
nede
of
hit
.
I
remembre
good
Socrates
,
that
vpon
a
tyme
I
wente
a
bourde
a
shyppe
of
Phenicia
,
where
I
behelde
the
goodlyest
order
and
the
mooste
perfecte
that
euer
I
sawe
.
We
haue
sufficiently
spoken
howe
profitable
it
is
to
sette
all
the
implimentes
of
the
house
in
good
order
,
and
to
sette
euery
thing
in
suche
a
redines
/
in
places
mete
therfore
,
that
hit
may
be
easye
to
fynde
and
come
by
whan
nede
requireth
.
But
howe
goodly
a
thynge
is
it
to
se
sewtis
of
all
a
mannes
apparel
,
lienge
by
it selfe
,
keuerlettes
,
&
counterpoyntes
by
them selfes
,
shetes
,
towels
,
and
al
naprye
ware
by
them selfes
/
pottes
,
pannes
,
caudrous
,
and
other
garnitures
of
the
ketchyn
by
them selfe
,
al
that
longeth
to
the
table
by
it selfe
/
and
so
lyke
wyse
of
all
other
thinges
,
that
longe
to
an
house
,
wher
at
he
that
is
vnwyse
,
and
knoweth
not
good
order
wyll
laugh
.
And
whether
it
be
so
or
not
my
swete
wife
,
we
may
lightly
proue
without
great
cost
/
and
with
small
labour
.
And
ye
muste
not
trouble
your selfe
/
as
though
it
were
an
harde
thyng
to
fynde
one
,
that
coude
lerne
the
places
/
and
remembre
where
to
sette
euery
thing
.
For
we
knowe
well
,
that
in
the
citie
there
is
a
thousande
tymes
more
wave
than
we
haue
:
but
ye●
what
so
euer
seruant
ye
wyll
commande
to
go
and
bye
you
somwhat
/
in
the
market
/
he
wyll
not
stande
styl
,
as
though
he
coude
not
tel
what
to
do
,
but
by
the
reason
that
he
remembreth
,
where
he
hath
sene
of
it
/
he
goth
thither
streighte
waye
,
and
fetcheth
hit
.
And
surely
ther
is
none
other
cause
of
this
/
said
I
/
but
that
there
is
a
place
determined
,
where
one
shall
haue
hit
.
But
if
one
seketh
a
man
/
the
whiche
seketh
hym
to
/
may
fortune
he
wyll
often
tymes
be
soner
werye
than
he
can
fynde
hym
.
And
of
this
lyke
wyse
there
is
none
other
cause
,
but
that
ther
is
no
place
appointed
,
where
the
tone
shulde
tary
for
the
tother
.
As
for
settyng
in
order
of
the
householde
stouffe
/
and
of
the
vse
of
hit
,
I
remembre
I
spake
vnto
her
after
this
maner
.
And
howe
thoughte
ye
by
your
wyfe
good
Ischomachus
,
sayde
I
?
Whether
dyd
she
obeye
you
in
that
thynge
/
that
ye
taught
her
so
busily
?
Isch
.
What
shuld
I
say
/
but
that
she
promised
to
applie
her
mynde
vnto
it
.
And
me
thought
verily
by
her
countinaunce
/
she
was
very
gladde
/
that
where
afore
she
was
in
a
great
doubte
and
perplexitie
/
she
had
founde
a
good
way
in
it
,
and
besoughte
me
,
that
I
wolde
make
an
order
of
euery
thing
,
as
I
had
saide
vnto
her
as
soone
as
was
possible
.
And
what
order
did
you
shewe
hir
good
Ischomachus
said
I
?
Ischo
.
What
order
shuld
I
shewe
her
but
this
?
Fyrste
me
thought
best
to
shewe
her
,
what
a
house
properly
was
ordeyned
fore
.
For
hit
is
not
ordeyned
to
be
gorgiouslye
peynted
with
diuers
faire
pictures
,
but
it
is
builded
for
this
purpose
&
consideration
,
that
it
shulde
be
a
ꝓfitable
vessel
for
those
thinges
,
that
shuld
be
in
it
.
Wherfore
in
a
maner
it
byddeth
the
dwellers
,
to
lay
vp
euery
thyng
,
where
it
is
most
mete
to
put
it
.
The
inner
priuey
chambre
,
bicause
it
standeth
strongest
of
all
/
loketh
for
to
haue
the
iewels
,
plate
,
and
all
suche
thynges
as
be
moste
precious
.
The
drye
places
loke
for
the
wheate
,
The
colde
for
the
wyne
.
And
bryght
places
do
desyre
suche
workes
and
thynges
,
as
require
lightsomnes
.
More
ouer
,
I
shewed
her
howe
parlers
&
dynyng
places
,
wel
trymmed
&
dressed
,
for
men
to
eate
&
drynke
in
,
in
sommer
shuld
be
colde
,
&
in
winter
hotte
.
And
I
shewed
her
howe
al
the
situation
of
the
house
was
very
moche
southward
,
wherby
it
may
be
clerely
vnderstande
,
that
in
winter
the
sonne
lighteth
welfauourdly
vpon
it
,
and
in
somer
there
is
goodly
shadowe
in
it
.
Further
,
I
shewed
her
the
nourcerie
&
the
womens
lodgynge
,
diuided
from
the
mens
lodgynge
,
left
there
came
out
any
thyng
amisse
,
&
our
seruantes
shulde
get
them
children
without
our
consentement
.
For
they
that
be
good
/
if
they
haue
children
throughe
our
permission
,
they
woll
loue
vs
the
better
.
And
they
that
be
noughte
,
if
they
come
ones
to
couple
with
a
woman
,
they
wil
finde
the
more
wayes
/
&
the
better
shyfte
to
fulfyl
their
vngratiousnes
.
And
after
we
had
spoken
thus
,
saide
he
,
we
wente
and
deuided
the
household
stouffe
,
by
sewtes
and
sortes
after
this
maner
.
First
we
dyd
put
to gether
all
maner
of
thynges
longynge
to
sacrifices
.
Nexte
to
that
the
good
wyues
apparell
,
both
for
holy
dayes
and
workynge
dayes
,
and
afterwarde
the
good
mannes
apparayle
bothe
for
the
holy
dayes
,
&
also
for
warre
,
Clothes
for
mens
chambres
,
and
for
the
nourcerie
,
mennes
showes
,
and
womens
showes
,
Than
we
appoynted
out
the
instrumentes
,
that
belonge
to
spinning
&
cardyng
,
and
suche
as
perteine
to
the
bake
house
,
to
the
kechin
,
to
the
bathe
,
&
to
the
boulting
house
.
We
dyd
seperate
a sonder
those
thinges
,
that
shuld
be
occupied
alwaye
,
from
those
,
that
be
occupied
but
at
diner
&
souper
.
And
we
dyd
seperate
that
that
we
shulde
spende
in
a
monthes
space
/
and
that
that
was
appoynted
to
serue
vs
a
twelue
monthe
.
For
so
it
is
the
better
knowen
,
in
what
maner
it
is
brought
to
an
ende
.
And
after
we
had
seperated
all
the
householde
stouffe
in
sewtis
and
sortis
/
we
dyd
set
euery
thynge
in
a
place
conuenient
.
Afterwarde
all
the
instrumentes
that
our
seruantes
must
occupie
dayly
,
as
for
the
bake
house
,
for
the
ketchyn
/
for
spynnynge
and
cardyng
,
and
other
lyke
,
we
dyd
shewe
them
the
place
,
wher
they
shuld
put
them
agayne
,
and
than
deliuered
them
/
&
bade
them
kepe
them
safe
.
And
as
for
suche
thynges
,
as
shulde
be
occupied
but
seldome
,
or
vpon
holy
dayes
,
or
whan
there
came
any
straungers
vnto
vs
,
or
at
certayne
other
tymes
,
in
certayne
busynesse
,
we
deliuered
them
vnto
a
woman
,
that
we
made
the
keper
of
our
store
house
/
and
shewed
her
the
place
/
where
they
shulde
be
sette
.
And
whan
we
had
made
a
rekenynge
vnto
her
of
all
,
and
also
written
euery
thynge
,
we
bade
her
,
that
she
shulde
deliuer
them
forth
as
tyme
and
nede
required
,
and
that
she
shulde
remembre
well
to
whom
she
deliuered
any
thynge
,
And
whan
she
receyued
it
agayne
/
that
she
shulde
lay
it
vppe
/
where
she
had
hit
before
.
And
to
be
keper
of
our
store
house
,
we
appoynted
her
,
that
semed
vnto
vs
moste
sobre
and
temperate
in
eatynge
,
drinkyng
/
and
slepyng
,
and
that
she
coude
very
wel
refrayne
the
company
of
men
:
and
that
semed
also
to
haue
a
very
good
remembrance
/
and
that
wold
beware
to
be
founde
in
a
faute
throughe
her
negligence
/
lest
she
shulde
displease
vs
with
hit
/
and
seke
the
meane
to
do
that
that
shulde
please
vs
/
that
she
myghte
be
praysed
and
rewarded
for
hit
.
More
ouer
we
taughte
her
to
haue
a
good
wyll
towarde
vs
,
and
to
loue
vs
,
For
bicause
that
whan
there
was
any
thynge
happened
,
that
made
vs
ioyfull
and
gladde
,
we
made
her
partaker
of
hit
/
and
if
we
were
sorowfull
and
heuy
for
any
matter
/
we
called
her
,
and
shewed
her
the
same
.
Furthermore
we
taught
her
to
sette
her
good
wyll
and
her
good
mynde
to
encrease
our
house
,
teachyng
her
the
way
and
the
maner
howe
.
And
if
any
thynge
fortuned
well
to
vs
/
we
gaue
her
parte
of
it
.
Also
we
taughte
her
to
be
iuste
and
trewe
in
her
busynes
,
and
to
esteme
and
set
more
by
them
,
that
were
good
and
rightfull
,
than
by
them
that
were
false
and
vntrewe
:
And
we
shewed
her
howe
they
lyued
in
more
welthe
&
more
libertie
,
than
they
that
were
false
and
vntrustye
.
And
so
thus
we
dyd
sette
her
in
the
rowme
.
And
at
the
laste
good
Socrates
,
sayde
he
,
I
sayde
vnto
my
wyfe
/
that
all
this
shulde
auayle
nothynge
/
except
she
toke
diligent
hede
/
that
euery
thing
might
remaine
styl
in
good
order
.
I
taught
her
also
howe
in
common
welthes
,
&
in
good
cites
/
that
were
wel
ruled
&
ordred
,
it
was
not
inough
for
the
citezins
and
dwellers
,
to
haue
good
laws
made
vnto
them
,
except
that
they
beside
chose
men
to
haue
the
ouersighte
of
the
same
lawes
,
the
whose
duetie
shuld
be
to
se
,
that
they
,
the
which
do
wel
,
and
according
to
the
lawe
,
may
be
preysed
,
&
he
that
doth
the
contrary
,
to
be
punisshed
.
And
so
I
bad
my
wife
,
that
she
shuld
thinke
her selfe
to
be
,
as
if
it
were
the
ouerseer
of
the
lawes
within
our
house
:
and
that
she
shulde
,
whan
she
thought
best
,
And
whan
I
harde
,
sayde
Socrates
,
that
his
wife
gaue
him
suche
an
answere
,
I
said
:
By
my
faythe
Ischomachus
,
ye
tell
me
of
a
iolye
and
a
manlye
stomacke
of
a
woman
.
Ye
,
sayde
he
,
ye
shall
here
me
telle
you
other
thynges
yet
,
that
wyl
well
shewe
her
good
lustye
harte
,
that
whan
she
had
harde
but
ones
speake
of
it
,
streighte
way
she
dyd
after
me
in
it
.
So.
I
pray
you
tel
me
that
,
for
surelye
I
haue
more
pleasure
a
greatte
deale
,
to
lerne
the
vertue
of
a
woman
aliue
,
than
if
Zensis
the
excellent
peynter
shulde
shewe
me
the
picture
&
portrature
of
a
faire
woman
.
Than
sayde
Ischomachus
,
whan
I
had
sene
her
vpon
a
tyme
/
that
she
hadde
peynted
her
face
with
a
certayne
oyntment
,
that
she
myghte
seme
whitter
than
she
was
,
and
with
an
other
oyntment
,
that
she
myght
seme
redder
than
she
was
in
very
dede
,
and
that
she
had
a
peyre
of
highe
showes
on
her
feete
,
to
make
her
seme
taller
woman
than
she
was
,
I
sayd
vnto
her
:
Tell
me
,
good
wyfe
,
whether
wolde
ye
iuge
me
worthyer
to
be
beloued
,
if
our
goodes
and
substaunce
nowe
beinge
common
one
to
an
other
,
if
I
shulde
shewe
you
that
that
I
haue
in
verye
dede
,
and
make
nother
more
of
hit
,
nor
no
lesse
than
it
is
in
very
dede
/
and
kept
nothing
priuey
from
you
:
or
if
I
wente
aboute
to
deceyue
you
,
sayinge
I
hadde
more
than
I
haue
,
and
shewyng
you
false
money
,
cheines
of
brasse
in
stede
of
golde
,
countrefete
precious
stones
,
redde
in
the
stede
of
scarlette
/
false
purpull
in
the
stede
of
pure
and
good
?
Than
she
answered
streighte
waye
.
God
forbid
ye
shuld
be
suche
one
:
For
if
ye
were
suche
one
,
I
coude
not
fynde
in
myn
harte
to
loue
you
.
I
wyl
tel
you
wyfe
,
We
be
come
to gether
to
th
intent
to
haue
pleasure
of
the
body
one
of
an
other
,
at
the
lest
men
say
so
:
Whether
than
,
seinge
I
muste
gyue
you
my
body
to
vse
with
you
,
were
I
better
to
be
beloued
after
your
iugement
,
if
I
studied
and
wente
aboute
to
make
my
bodye
seme
the
lustier
,
the
stronger
,
the
better
coloured
/
the
better
complectioned
/
and
shulde
noynte
my
face
with
certayne
oyntmentes
,
and
so
shewe
me
vnto
you
,
and
lie
with
you
/
and
gyue
you
these
oyntementes
to
se
and
to
handle
in
the
stede
of
my
colour
and
of
myne
owne
face
?
Forsoth
,
sayd
she
,
I
shulde
neuer
haue
more
pleasure
in
handlynge
any
oyntement
in
the
stede
of
your
face
/
nor
delite
more
in
thynge
counterfeted
,
than
in
your
very
eies
&
your
naturall
face
.
Thynke
lyke
wyse
by
me
good
wyfe
,
saide
Ischomachus
,
that
I
haue
no
more
pleasure
in
oyntmentes
,
than
I
haue
in
your
owne
natural
body
and
face
.
And
like
wise
as
god
hath
made
horses
to
haue
pleasure
with
maares
,
bulles
with
kyne
,
rammes
with
ewes
,
so
lyke
wyse
men
do
thinke
that
body
most
plesant
,
that
is
pure
.
And
as
for
suche
wyles
and
deceites
/
they
may
parauenture
begyle
strangers
,
so
that
they
shal
neuer
be
spied
,
but
they
that
be
daily
conuersant
to gether
,
they
shal
lightly
perceiue
,
if
the
tone
go
aboute
to
deceiue
the
tother
.
For
they
wyll
be
spied
,
either
whan
they
rise
out
of
their
bed
,
before
they
make
them
redye
,
or
whan
they
sweate
,
or
whan
they
wepe
,
or
whan
they
wasshe
and
bathe
them
.
So.
And
I
prey
you
,
said
I
,
what
an
answere
made
she
to
it
.
Isch
.
What
,
said
I
?
by
my
faith
she
wente
neuer
sens
about
no
suche
maters
,
but
shewed
her selfe
alway
pure
with
as
good
comelines
as
myght
be
.
And
she
asked
me
,
whether
I
coude
giue
hir
any
counsayle
howe
she
shulde
be
fayrer
in
dede
,
&
not
only
appere
so
.
And
than
I
gaue
her
counseyle
,
that
she
shuld
not
sit
styl
like
a
slaue
or
a
bounde
woman
,
but
go
about
the
house
like
a
maistres
,
&
se
howe
the
workes
of
the
house
wente
forwarde
:
some
tymes
to
the
weauing
women
,
both
to
teche
them
that
she
can
do
better
than
they
,
&
also
to
marke
who
dothe
better
or
worse
.
some
tymes
to
loke
vpon
her
that
baketh
the
bread
.
some
times
to
loke
vpon
her
,
that
kepeth
the
store
house
,
to
se
her
set
vp
and
met
that
that
she
weaueth
.
some
times
to
bestyr
her selfe
loking
if
eueri
thing
be
set
vp
in
his
place
.
For
I
rekened
,
that
this
shulde
be
bothe
a
waye
to
take
hede
to
the
house
,
&
also
shuld
serue
for
a
good
walke
.
Also
I
sayde
it
were
a
good
exercise
to
washe
,
to
boulte
,
to
bake
,
to
shake
keuerlettes
,
hangynges
,
tappessary
ware
,
&
to
set
them
vp
againe
in
their
places
.
For
I
said
,
if
she
did
somwhat
to
exercise
her selfe
/
she
shulde
haue
the
more
luste
to
her
meate
,
she
shuld
be
the
more
helthie
,
&
gette
better
fauoured
colour
in
very
dede
.
And
also
the
sight
of
the
maistres
being
more
clenlier
&
far
better
apparailed
,
&
settinge
her
hande
to
worke
,
&
in
a
maner
striuing
with
her
seruantes
who
shalle
do
moste
,
is
a
great
conforte
vnto
them
,
that
be
vnder
her
,
specially
whan
it
lieth
in
them
,
either
to
do
her
pleaser
in
doing
of
their
worke
with
a
good
wil
,
or
to
be
compelled
to
do
it
aginst
thier
willes
.
But
they
that
alwaye
do
stande
stylle
lyke
quenes
in
theyr
maiestie
/
they
wyll
be
onely
iuged
of
those
women
that
be
triumphantly
arrayde
,
the
whiche
do
deceyue
them
.
And
nowe
,
sayde
he
,
good
Socrates
be
ye
sure
,
she
liueth
euen
as
I
haue
taughte
her
,
and
as
I
tell
you
.
So.
Than
saide
I.
Good
Ischomachus
,
me
thinketh
ye
haue
sufficiently
spoken
touchynge
the
behauour
of
your
wyfe
,
and
of
you
,
to
the
great
prayse
of
you
bothe
:
but
nowe
I
pray
you
,
tell
me
your
owne
dedes
,
that
bothe
ye
may
reioyce
in
tellynge
suche
thynges
/
the
whiche
do
gette
you
so
good
a
name
.
And
whan
I
haue
harde
and
lerned
the
workes
and
dedes
of
a
good
honest
man
,
I
may
gyue
you
suche
thankis
as
ye
deserue
,
and
accordynge
to
my
power
.
By
my
faythe
,
sayde
Ischomachus
,
I
wyll
be
glad
to
tell
you
all
,
what
so
euer
I
do
,
to
th
intent
ye
may
correcte
me
,
if
ye
thynke
I
do
not
wel
in
some
thynge
.
Socra
.
Ye
but
tell
me
,
howe
coude
I
correcte
you
,
seinge
that
ye
be
come
to
this
poynte
to
be
a
good
honeste
man
,
specially
whan
I
am
the
man
,
that
is
taken
for
a
trifler
,
that
occupieth
him selfe
in
nothynge
,
but
in
measurynge
of
the
aier
:
And
that
that
is
a
very
sore
rebuke
/
and
a
token
of
most
great
foly
,
I
am
called
a
poure
man
.
And
I
assure
you
,
After
that
I
had
wel
perceyued
/
that
except
a
man
knoweth
what
is
to
be
done
,
and
wyll
set
and
applie
his
mynde
and
diligence
to
performe
the
same
,
god
granteth
no
man
to
do
well
.
And
vnto
them
,
that
be
bothe
wyse
and
diligent
,
god
sendeth
welthe
and
good
fortune
.
Wherfore
firste
of
all
I
beganne
to
honour
and
worshyp
god
/
and
to
calle
vpon
hym
with
my
prayers
/
that
he
wold
vouchesafe
to
sende
me
the
grace
,
that
I
might
haue
my
helthe
,
strength
of
body
/
honour
in
my
citie
,
good
wyl
of
my
frendes
,
to
returne
home
againe
safe
from
warfare
/
with
the
encreace
of
my
riches
and
goodes
.
Socra
.
And
whan
I
harde
that
/
I
sayde
:
And
care
ye
so
moche
to
waxe
riche
,
seinge
that
whan
ye
be
riche
,
ye
haue
the
more
trouble
,
in
studienge
howe
to
order
and
kepe
your
goodes
?
Yes
mary
,
saide
Ischomachus
,
I
haue
no
smalle
care
of
that
that
ye
aske
me
.
For
me
thynketh
it
is
great
pleasure
bothe
to
worshyp
god
honorably
,
and
to
helpe
my
frendes
/
if
they
be
in
nede
,
and
to
se
that
the
citie
be
not
depriued
of
the
ornamentes
of
riches
,
as
moche
as
lieth
in
me
.
Socra
.
By
my
fayth
that
that
ye
say
good
Ischomachus
,
is
good
and
also
very
honorable
/
&
longynge
to
a
man
of
great
power
&
substance
.
Ischo
.
It
must
nedes
be
thus
.
For
there
be
some
men
,
the
whiche
can
not
lyue
,
but
they
muste
be
holpen
of
other
men
.
And
there
be
many
agayne
/
that
reken
hit
sufficient
,
if
they
can
gette
that
/
that
is
necessarie
for
them
.
But
those
that
wyll
not
onely
order
and
gyde
theyr
houses
/
but
also
haue
so
great
abundance
,
that
they
do
bothe
honour
to
the
citie
/
and
also
helpe
and
ease
theyr
frendes
:
why
shuld
not
they
be
called
and
taken
for
men
of
profounde
wisedome
,
of
great
power
,
and
of
stoute
stomacke
?
Socra
.
Surely
there
be
many
of
vs
,
sayde
I
,
that
may
wel
praise
suche
maner
of
men
.
But
for
goddis
sake
telle
me
euen
from
the
place
,
where
ye
beganne
,
howe
ye
go
aboute
to
mainteine
your
helth
,
and
also
the
strength
of
your
body
/
howe
it
may
be
laufull
to
retourne
honorably
home
agayne
safe
fro
the
warre
.
For
as
touching
the
encreasinge
of
goodes
,
we
shal
here
of
it
afterwarde
sufficiently
.
But
me
thinketh
,
saide
Ischo
,
that
these
thinges
be
linked
to gether
,
&
come
one
after
an
other
.
For
when
a
man
hath
meate
&
drinke
sufficiently
,
if
he
do
labour
wel
,
he
shal
haue
his
helth
the
better
and
the
longer
.
And
he
that
is
well
exercised
in
warre
,
he
shall
returne
home
safe
agayne
/
and
with
more
honour
.
And
he
that
is
diligent
,
and
doth
not
coker
hym selfe
,
nor
gyue
him selfe
to
slouthe
and
idelnes
/
he
is
the
more
likely
to
encreace
his
house
.
So.
Forsothe
good
Ischomachus
,
I
graunte
you
all
this
euen
hitherto
,
where
ye
say
,
that
he
that
laboureth
,
taketh
peyne
,
vseth
diligence
,
and
exerciseth
him selfe
,
cometh
the
rather
to
goodes
.
But
what
labour
ye
vse
to
meinteine
a
good
complection
,
and
to
get
you
strength
,
and
howe
also
ye
exercise
your selfe
for
the
warre
/
and
howe
ye
studie
to
get
so
moche
substance
and
goodes
/
that
ye
maye
bothe
helpe
your
frendes
/
and
make
the
citie
more
honorable
and
stronger
by
it
,
that
wolde
I
very
fayne
here
.
Verily
good
Socrates
saide
Ischomachus
,
I
ryse
in
the
mornynge
out
of
my
bedde
so
yerly
,
that
if
I
wol
speke
with
any
man
,
I
shall
be
sure
to
fynde
hym
yet
within
.
And
if
I
haue
any
thynge
ado
in
the
citie
,
I
go
aboute
it
,
and
take
hit
for
a
walke
.
And
if
I
haue
no
matter
of
great
importance
to
do
within
the
citie
,
my
page
bryngethe
my
horse
afore
in
to
the
feldes
,
and
so
I
take
the
way
to
my
grounde
for
a
walke
,
better
parauenture
than
if
I
dyd
walke
in
the
galeries
and
walkynge
places
of
the
cite
.
And
whan
I
come
to
my
ground
,
if
my
tenantes
be
eyther
settynge
of
trees
,
or
tyllynge
or
renewynge
the
grounde
/
or
sowyng
,
or
carienge
in
the
frute
,
I
beholde
howe
euery
thynge
is
done
,
and
caste
in
my
mynde
,
howe
I
myghte
do
hit
better
.
And
afterwarde
for
the
moste
parte
,
I
get
me
a
horsebacke
and
ryde
as
nere
as
I
can
,
as
though
I
were
in
warre
constrayned
to
do
the
same
,
wherfore
I
do
nat
spare
nother
croked
wayes
,
nor
no
shrowde
goinges
vp
,
no
ditches
/
waters
/
hedges
/
nor
trenches
/
takynge
hede
for
all
that
as
nere
as
can
be
possible
,
that
in
this
doinge
,
I
do
not
maime
my
horse
.
And
whan
I
haue
thus
done
,
the
page
leadeth
the
horse
trottynge
home
againe
,
and
carieth
home
with
hym
in
to
the
citie
,
out
of
the
countre
that
that
we
haue
nede
of
.
And
so
than
I
get
me
home
again
,
some
tymes
walking
,
and
some
tymes
runnynge
.
Than
I
wasshe
my
handes
,
and
so
go
to
diner
good
Socrates
,
the
whiche
is
ordeyned
betwene
bothe
,
so
that
I
abyde
al
the
day
nother
voyde
nor
yet
to
full
.
So.
By
my
trouth
good
Ischomachus
,
ye
do
these
thynges
wonders
pleasantly
.
For
in
dede
to
vse
&
occupie
at
ones
al
maner
of
thinges
,
that
be
ordeined
for
helthe
,
for
strength
,
for
exercise
of
warre
/
for
study
and
conueiance
howe
to
get
goodes
/
and
all
in
one
tyme
,
me
thinketh
a
maruailous
thynge
.
For
ye
do
shewe
euident
tokens
,
that
ye
applie
your
minde
wel
&
truly
to
al
this
.
For
we
se
you
commonly
,
thanked
be
god
/
for
the
most
parte
helthful
,
stronge
and
lusty
.
More
ouer
we
know
,
that
ye
be
called
one
of
the
best
horse
men
,
and
one
of
the
richest
men
of
the
citie
.
Ischo
.
And
though
I
thus
do
,
as
ye
haue
hard
,
yet
can
not
I
eschewe
detraction
:
ye
thoughte
parauenture
that
I
wolde
haue
sayde
,
I
am
therfore
called
a
good
honeste
man
.
So.
And
forsothe
so
I
was
aboute
to
say
good
Ischomachus
,
But
this
I
thought
first
to
enquere
of
you
,
whether
ye
do
studie
and
set
your
mynde
,
howe
to
answere
these
detractours
/
and
speake
in
a
cause
,
whether
it
be
your
owne
or
an
other
mans
,
or
to
iuge
it
,
if
nede
be
.
Ischo
.
Thinke
yon
that
I
do
not
sufficiently
my
parte
in
this
matter
/
if
I
thinke
by
my
good
dedes
to
defend
my selfe
,
and
do
no
wronge
/
and
as
moche
as
I
may
helpe
and
do
pleasure
to
many
men
?
And
more
ouer
,
thinke
ye
that
it
is
not
well
done
to
accuse
suche
men
,
that
do
wronge
both
to
priuate
men
,
and
also
to
the
citie
/
and
that
wyll
do
no
man
good
?
So.
But
yet
if
ye
set
your
mynde
to
suche
thynges
/
I
praye
you
shewe
it
me
?
Ischo
.
Forsoth
I
neuer
stint
,
but
am
alway
exercising
my selfe
in
retoricke
&
eloquence
.
For
whan
I
here
one
of
my
seruantes
compleyne
on
an
other
/
or
answere
in
his
owne
cause
,
I
seke
to
knowe
the
trouthe
.
Agayne
/
I
either
blame
some
man
to
my
frendes
,
or
els
praise
him
,
or
els
I
go
aboute
to
brynge
at
one
some
men
of
min
acqueintance
,
that
be
at
variance
,
endeuorynge
my selfe
to
shewe
them
/
howe
hit
is
more
for
their
profette
to
be
frendes
/
than
yl
wyllers
and
enmies
.
And
before
the
high
rulers
I
vse
both
to
commende
and
defende
hym
,
that
is
oppressed
by
wronge
and
iniurie
/
and
before
the
lordes
of
the
cost
seile
I
accuse
hym
,
that
I
se
promoted
vnworthily
,
&
I
preise
that
that
is
done
by
counsaile
&
deliberation
,
&
the
contrary
I
discommende
.
But
I
am
nowe
broughte
to
this
point
,
that
either
it
behoueth
me
to
suffre
or
to
punishe
.
So.
Of
whom
I
prey
the
Isch
.
For
that
do
not
I
yet
knowe
.
Some
thynke
lyke
wyse
good
Socrates
,
by
all
other
thynges
,
that
the
maisters
eie
moste
speciallye
maketh
them
to
be
in
farre
better
plite
.
So.
But
whan
ye
haue
tolde
and
shewed
hym
very
well
&
with
great
instance
/
that
he
must
take
hede
to
suche
thinges
as
ye
wyll
haue
hym
,
and
that
he
is
verye
diligent
/
is
he
than
mete
to
be
your
baillye
or
stewarde
,
or
els
muste
he
lerne
somwhat
besyde
to
make
hym
fitte
for
that
purpose
?
Ischo
.
No
iwis
man
.
For
it
behoueth
him
yet
to
lerne
,
what
he
must
do
,
and
whan
,
and
howe
he
shall
order
euery
thyng
.
For
els
what
auaileth
a
baylye
or
a
stewarde
more
without
this
/
than
a
phisition
/
the
whiche
nighte
and
daye
/
yarly
and
laie
taketh
hede
to
a
sicke
man
/
and
yet
he
woteth
not
what
is
profitable
for
the
same
pacient
.
So
And
whan
he
knoweth
what
is
to
be
done
/
shall
he
nede
any
thinge
els
,
or
shall
he
than
be
a
perfecte
bailye
or
stewarde
?
Ischo
.
Me
thinketh
/
that
he
shulde
lerne
also
to
rule
the
worke
men
.
So.
And
do
ye
teache
your
bailie
or
stewarde
to
be
able
to
rule
?
I
go
about
it
at
lefte
,
sayd
Ischomachus
.
So.
And
I
praye
you
for
goddes
sake
,
howe
do
ye
teche
men
to
haue
the
science
to
rule
and
commande
?
Isch
.
Very
easily
good
Socrates
/
in
so
moche
,
that
I
thynke
ye
shall
laugh
at
it
/
whan
ye
here
it
.
So.
Forsoth
good
Ischomachus
,
sayde
I
,
it
is
no
matter
to
laugh
at
/
but
he
deserueth
&
ought
rather
to
be
hyghly
landed
,
that
hath
the
wyt
to
teache
that
.
For
he
that
can
teache
men
how
to
rule
,
he
can
also
make
them
maisters
,
&
he
that
can
make
them
masters
,
can
make
them
princelyke
&
able
to
be
kinges
.
Ischo
.
Suerly
all
maner
of
bestes
good
Socrates
do
lerne
to
obey
by
the
reason
of
these
two
thinges
,
that
is
to
say
,
whan
they
do
stryue
,
&
wyll
not
be
obedient
,
they
be
punished
:
and
whan
they
do
quickely
that
that
a
man
byddeth
them
/
they
be
cherished
and
well
intreated
.
Coltis
and
yong
horses
lerne
to
obey
their
brekers
and
tamers
:
For
whan
they
do
obey
them
,
they
haue
somwhat
done
to
them
for
it
/
that
is
to
theyr
pleasure
&
ease
:
But
whan
they
wyl
not
obey
,
they
beate
and
handell
them
very
sore
and
roughly
for
it
,
vntyll
the
time
they
serue
the
breker
at
his
wyll
.
And
yonge
spaynels
lyke
wise
,
the
which
be
worse
than
men
a
great
dele
/
for
lacke
of
reson
,
and
for
lacke
of
speache
,
yet
they
lerne
to
ren
about
/
to
fetche
or
cary
/
to
go
in
to
the
water
after
the
same
maner
.
For
whan
they
obey
,
they
haue
somwhat
gyuen
them
,
that
they
haue
nede
of
,
and
whan
they
wil
not
nor
care
not
for
it
,
they
be
punisshed
.
But
as
for
men
they
may
be
well
parswaded
and
brought
to
obedience
,
if
a
man
will
shewe
them
,
howe
it
shal
be
for
theyr
profitte
,
if
they
do
obey
.
Neuerthelesse
vnto
bonde
men
and
vile
persones
that
way
that
is
vsed
and
occupyed
towarde
beastis
,
wyll
verye
well
induce
them
for
to
lerne
to
obeye
.
For
if
ye
do
somewhat
for
theyr
bealye
and
make
them
fare
well
,
ye
shall
gette
verye
moche
done
of
them
.
But
ioly
stomackes
and
noble
natures
be
most
moued
and
styrred
with
prayse
.
For
there
be
some
natures
,
that
do
desyre
as
moche
laude
and
preyse
,
as
other
do
meate
and
drynke
.
And
whan
I
haue
taught
him
,
that
I
will
make
my
baillie
or
my
steward
/
suche
thynges
,
the
whiche
whan
I
do
them
my selfe
/
me
thynketh
I
shall
make
men
more
obedient
vnto
me
,
I
do
ioyne
this
vnto
hit
besyde
.
For
as
touchynge
hoosen
and
showes
,
and
other
rayment
,
the
whiche
I
muste
gyue
my
laborers
,
I
make
them
not
a
like
.
For
ther
be
some
better
and
some
worse
:
to
th
entent
that
the
beste
workmen
may
haue
the
preeminence
to
haue
the
better
,
&
the
worst
may
be
gyuen
to
the
worst
.
For
me
thynketh
it
greueth
good
seruantes
hartes
very
sore
/
whan
they
se
that
the
worke
that
they
haue
done
,
and
howe
those
haue
euen
as
moche
as
they
,
that
wyll
nother
labour
nor
take
peyne
,
whan
it
behoueth
to
do
it
.
Wherfore
nother
I
my selfe
wyll
not
suffre
,
that
they
that
be
worste
/
and
they
that
be
beste
shulde
be
serued
all
a
lyke
.
And
whan
I
se
that
my
bayllies
and
deputies
dothe
gyue
the
moste
and
the
beste
to
them
that
do
beste
,
I
do
preyse
hym
for
it
.
But
and
I
se
him
preferre
any
man
afore
other
bicause
of
his
flaterynge
,
or
for
some
other
pynishe
cause
,
I
do
not
suffre
it
so
to
passe
,
but
I
blame
and
rebuke
him
greately
therfore
,
and
I
go
aboute
to
teache
him
also
,
that
that
,
whiche
he
doth
,
is
not
for
his
profitte
nother
.
So.
And
whan
he
is
sufficient
thus
to
rule
and
gyde
,
good
Ischomachus
,
so
that
he
can
make
them
to
obeie
him
,
do
ye
thynke
that
baillye
perfecte
on
euery
syde
,
or
hath
he
nede
of
ony
other
thynge
els
?
Yes
mary
/
sayde
Ischomachus
,
for
it
behoueth
him
to
kepe
his
handes
clene
from
his
maysters
goodes
/
and
beware
that
he
steale
nothinge
therof
.
For
if
he
/
that
hath
the
frutes
in
his
handes
wolde
be
so
bolde
to
conuey
so
moche
out
of
the
waye
,
that
that
,
whiche
remayned
were
not
sufficient
to
maynteyne
the
worke
and
fynde
the
labourers
,
what
profytte
shulde
we
haue
by
his
baylishyp
,
and
by
his
diligence
?
So.
And
do
you
in
dede
take
vpon
you
to
teache
them
that
iustice
and
rightfulnes
?
Yes
mary
,
sayde
Ischomachus
,
but
I
fynde
that
euery
man
dothe
not
obeye
and
folowe
this
teachinge
and
instrucion
of
myn
.
Neuertheles
I
take
here
a
pece
of
Dracons
lawes
,
and
here
a
pece
af
Solons
,
and
so
endeuour
my selfe
to
bringe
my
seruantes
to
folowe
iustice
.
For
me
thinketh
that
these
men
haue
made
many
lawes
to
teche
men
iustice
.
For
they
haue
wrytten
,
that
he
muste
be
punysshed
that
steleth
,
and
he
that
robbeth
muste
be
put
in
prison
and
put
to
dethe
.
wherfore
it
may
be
clere
sene
,
that
they
haue
wrytten
those
thynges
to
the
intent
that
they
,
the
whiche
do
get
any
goodes
foule
and
shamefully
,
contrary
to
reason
and
equite
,
shulde
haue
no
vantage
nor
no
profyt
by
hit
.
And
whan
I
haue
this
do
/
I
brynge
in
besyde
some
lawes
of
the
kynge
of
Perse
,
to
make
my
seruauntes
to
deale
ryghtfully
in
that
that
they
be
put
to
.
For
as
touchynge
Dracons
and
Solons
lawes
,
they
do
no
more
but
punysshe
them
that
do
amysse
:
Ischo
.
Nowe
than
fyrst
of
al
ye
shall
here
howe
gentyll
a
science
it
is
.
For
seynge
it
is
moste
profitable
and
pleasant
to
occupye
/
moste
goodlyest
,
best
beloued
of
god
and
of
men
,
and
besyde
that
,
moste
easye
to
lerne
,
howe
shulde
it
nat
be
a
gentyll
science
?
For
we
call
all
these
beast
is
gentyll
/
the
whiche
be
goodly
,
great
,
and
profitable
,
and
be
nat
fierce
but
tame
amonge
men
.
So.
But
me
thynketh
good
Ischomacus
/
that
I
haue
very
well
perceyued
,
that
where
ye
sayde
,
howe
a
man
muste
teache
a
stewarde
and
a
deputie
,
and
that
ye
taught
hym
to
owe
you
good
loue
and
good
wylle
,
and
lyke
wyse
/
that
ye
wente
about
to
make
hym
diligent
,
able
to
rule
,
and
also
ryghtfull
:
but
where
ye
sayde
,
that
he
,
whiche
wyll
be
diligent
in
dede
in
husbandry
,
must
lerne
what
is
to
be
done
,
howe
,
and
in
what
season
,
me
thynketh
we
haue
ouer
passed
hit
somewhat
to
quickely
and
to
negligently
.
Lykewyse
as
if
ye
sayde
/
that
he
,
the
whiche
wyll
write
that
that
a
man
speaketh
,
and
rede
that
that
is
wrytten
,
muste
knowe
his
letters
.
For
he
that
dyd
here
this
,
hath
harde
nothyng
els
,
but
that
he
must
lerne
to
knowe
his
letters
.
But
whan
he
perceyueth
,
that
he
is
neuer
the
nerer
to
knowe
what
letters
do
meane
.
And
nowe
lyke
wyse
I
beleue
very
well
,
that
he
,
the
whiche
wyl
vse
diligence
in
husbandry
/
must
lerne
to
know
wel
husbandry
,
but
though
I
beleue
and
knowe
that
well
,
yet
am
I
neuer
the
wyser
howe
to
occupye
husbandry
.
And
if
I
were
euen
now
determined
to
falle
to
husbandry
,
I
wold
thynke
I
were
lyke
a
phisition
/
the
whiche
gothe
about
and
loketh
vpon
/
seke
men
,
yet
can
he
not
tell
what
is
good
for
them
.
And
therfore
to
th
ende
I
be
not
suche
one
,
teache
me
the
very
poynt
and
caste
of
husbandry
.
For
sothe
good
Socrates
,
sayde
he
,
it
is
not
by
this
as
by
other
craftes
and
sciences
/
that
he
which
lerneth
them
must
be
a
longe
tyme
about
them
/
and
bestowe
moche
peyne
and
labour
in
them
/
er
he
can
do
any
thynge
to
get
his
lyuyng
by
.
Husbandry
is
nothyng
so
harde
to
lerne
:
for
ye
shall
lerne
it
euen
anone
lokyng
vpon
the
labourers
,
and
partly
by
herynge
speke
of
hit
/
so
that
if
ye
wyl
ye
may
teache
hit
vnto
other
.
And
trewely
other
artificers
and
craftes
men
do
hyde
and
kepe
priuey
to
them selfe
the
best
poyntes
of
theyr
sciences
,
the
good
husbande
men
,
he
that
setteth
trees
beste
/
he
wyll
haue
very
great
pleasure
,
if
any
man
beholde
hym
,
and
he
that
soweth
after
the
same
maner
.
And
if
ye
aske
hym
of
any
thynge
that
is
well
wrought
,
I
am
sure
he
wyll
neuer
kepe
from
you
/
howe
he
dyd
it
.
And
so
good
Socrates
,
husbandry
techeth
them
that
be
conuersant
in
it
to
be
of
gentyl
maners
and
disposition
.
Soc.
Forsoth
this
is
a
good
begynnynge
,
and
nowe
I
haue
harde
you
tell
this
moche
,
it
is
vnpossible
to
stoppe
me
from
inquerynge
of
you
further
therof
.
And
therfore
seynge
ye
saye
it
is
a
thynge
so
easy
to
lerne
,
do
the
rather
shewe
hit
me
.
For
it
is
no
shame
to
you
to
teache
that
that
is
easye
:
but
it
is
rather
a
great
shame
to
me
/
if
I
can
it
not
,
specially
whan
it
is
so
profitable
.
And
therfore
I
wyll
shewe
vnto
you
first
of
all
sayde
Ischo
.
that
that
whiche
is
the
diffusest
poynte
of
all
husbandry
,
as
they
say
whiche
dispute
of
it
moste
exactly
in
wordes
,
and
in
dede
occupie
it
neuer
a
whit
,
is
nothynge
harde
at
all
.
For
they
say
,
So.
Ye
mary
/
for
than
it
is
most
lykely
/
that
the
grounde
openneth
and
spredeth
his
owne
strengthe
and
vertue
aboute
,
whan
it
is
falowed
and
tylled
in
that
tyme
.
Ischo
.
Yea
and
beside
that
good
Socrates
the
yonge
wides
turned
vp
so
downe
at
that
tyme
be
as
good
to
the
grounde
as
any
dougynge
:
and
they
be
not
yet
come
to
that
strength
/
that
the
seede
of
them
caste
adowne
can
growe
vp
agayne
.
And
I
trowe
ye
knowe
this
well
inough
,
that
if
the
falowinge
,
and
the
tyllynge
of
the
grounde
shulde
be
good
,
the
grounde
must
be
clene
kepte
and
delyuered
from
wides
,
and
wel
fauourdly
heated
and
warmed
of
the
son
.
So.
Me
thynketh
in
very
dede
it
shulde
be
so
.
Ischo
.
And
do
ye
thike
,
that
that
can
be
better
brought
to
passe
by
any
other
meane
/
thanne
if
the
grounde
be
often
tymes
stirred
in
the
somer
?
So.
I
knowe
very
well
,
that
the
wides
can
neuer
better
wither
away
and
drye
vp
,
nor
the
grounde
be
better
heated
throughe
the
heate
of
the
sonne
/
thanne
if
the
grounde
be
ploughed
and
styrred
in
the
middes
of
sommer
/
and
in
the
myddes
of
the
day
.
And
if
any
man
do
falowe
,
or
dygge
the
grounde
with
his
owne
handes
,
is
it
not
clere
inough
,
that
he
also
muste
seperate
asonder
the
wides
from
the
grounde
,
and
caste
the
wides
abrode
,
that
they
may
dry
vp
,
and
turne
vp
so
downe
and
styrre
the
grounde
/
that
the
soorenes
and
the
rawe
watrisshenes
of
hit
may
be
warmed
and
well
dryed
vp
?
Ischo
.
Than
ye
se
well
good
Socrates
,
howe
we
be
both
in
one
opinion
touchynge
falowinge
and
styrrynge
of
the
grounde
.
So.
So
me
thynketh
.
And
touchynge
sowinge
,
haue
ye
any
other
knowlege
or
opinion
,
but
that
is
the
season
to
sowe
,
the
whiche
bothe
men
of
olde
antiquite
/
approuyng
it
by
experience
/
and
all
they
,
that
be
nowe
,
takynge
hit
of
them
/
do
iudge
it
best
of
al
?
For
whan
the
somer
is
ones
past
,
and
Septembre
cometh
in
,
al
men
that
be
in
the
worlde
do
loke
vpon
almighty
god
,
that
whan
it
shal
be
his
pleasure
to
sende
some
rayne
&
make
the
grounde
wete
and
moysty
,
that
they
may
fal
to
sowinge
euen
as
he
commandeth
it
.
Soc.
And
forsothe
good
Ischomachus
all
the
men
in
the
worlde
haue
determined
by
one
assente
/
that
they
wyl
not
sowe
,
whan
the
grounde
is
drye
.
And
hit
is
clere
to
euery
man
,
that
they
take
great
lossis
and
damages
/
that
wyll
go
aboute
to
sowe
afore
god
byddeth
them
.
Ischo
.
Than
in
these
thynges
al
we
men
do
agre
.
So.
For
in
that
that
god
techeth
,
it
foloweth
/
that
euery
man
agreeth
in
it
:
As
for
a
similitude
,
Euery
man
thynketh
best
to
weare
good
furred
and
wel
lyned
gownes
in
wynter
/
if
he
be
able
,
and
al
so
to
make
good
fyre
,
if
he
haue
wodde
.
Ischo
.
Yea
but
there
be
many
,
the
whyche
do
vary
in
this
touchinge
sowinge
,
whether
it
be
beste
to
sowe
in
the
begynnynge
,
in
the
myddes
,
or
at
the
later
ende
.
Soc.
And
god
dothe
not
sende
euery
yere
of
one
lyke
temperatnes
of
wether
.
For
some
tymes
it
is
best
to
sowe
in
the
begynnynge
,
some
tymes
in
the
myddes
,
some
tymes
at
the
later
ende
.
Ischo
.
But
what
thynke
ye
best
gentyll
Socrates
,
whanne
so
euer
a
man
hath
chosen
his
sowynge
tyme
/
or
euer
more
in
this
tyme
,
or
nowe
in
this
and
nowe
in
that
,
whether
is
it
best
to
sowe
moche
seede
or
litel
?
So.
Me
thynketh
best
of
all
good
Ischomachus
to
distribute
the
seede
,
wel
,
ful
,
and
truly
.
For
I
suppose
it
is
a
great
deale
better
to
take
corne
inough
euer
more
,
than
some
tymes
to
moche
and
sometymes
to
lytel
.
And
in
this
poynt
also
good
Socrates
sayd
he
,
you
beinge
the
lerner
do
agre
with
me
the
techer
,
and
ye
haue
shewed
your
opinion
afore
me
.
So.
But
what
of
that
sayde
I
/
for
in
the
castynge
of
the
seede
there
is
moche
counnynge
?
Ischo
.
In
any
case
good
Socrates
,
lette
vs
loke
vpon
that
.
For
ye
knowe
wel
,
that
it
must
be
cast
with
a
mans
hande
.
So.
Forsothe
I
haue
sen
it
done
so
.
Ischo
.
But
some
can
caste
it
euen
,
and
some
can
not
.
So.
well
than
it
lacketh
nothynge
els
but
to
exercise
the
hande
,
as
harpers
and
luters
do
/
that
hit
maye
folowe
the
mynde
.
Isch
.
It
is
very
wel
sayde
:
But
what
if
the
grounde
be
th
ynner
or
grosser
?
So.
what
meane
you
by
that
?
Do
ye
not
take
the
thinner
for
the
weaker
,
and
the
grosser
for
the
stronger
?
Ischo
.
That
same
meane
I.
So.
And
this
wolde
I
fayne
know
of
you
,
whether
ye
wyl
gyue
as
moche
seede
to
the
tone
as
to
the
tother
,
or
els
whiche
of
them
wyl
ye
gyue
more
vnto
?
Isch
.
In
the
wyne
that
is
stronge
,
me
thynketh
hit
behoueth
to
put
the
more
water
,
and
the
man
that
is
stronger
must
beare
the
greater
burthen
,
if
there
be
any
thinge
to
be
caried
,
and
som
men
are
fedde
and
nourisshed
with
sklender
fare
,
and
the
same
herin
must
be
obserued
.
So.
Thike
you
not
that
the
grounde
wayeth
stronger
,
if
a
man
do
put
more
frute
in
it
,
like
wise
as
moyles
and
horses
do
waxe
stronger
with
cariage
/
that
wolde
I
desire
you
to
teache
me
.
Whan
Ischomchus
herde
that
,
he
sayd
:
what
Socrates
ye
ieste
with
me
.
But
yet
,
sayde
he
,
take
this
for
a
very
suretye
,
that
whaune
a
man
hath
sowen
any
seede
in
the
grounde
,
loke
whan
the
grounde
hath
most
comforte
of
the
ayre
with
wete
and
moystnes
,
if
the
corne
be
grene
newly
risen
out
of
the
erthe
,
if
he
styrre
and
turne
it
in
ageyne
,
it
is
as
if
it
were
a
sustinance
to
the
grounde
,
and
getteth
as
moche
strength
by
it
/
as
if
it
had
ben
donged
.
But
if
ye
suffre
the
grounde
continually
to
brynge
forth
frute
of
the
sede
,
it
is
harde
for
a
weake
grounde
to
brynge
forth
moche
frute
styll
:
lyke
wyse
as
hit
is
hard
for
a
weake
sowe
to
gyue
sucke
and
sustinance
to
many
pigges
,
and
kepe
them
fatte
and
in
good
plite
whan
they
waxe
great
.
So.
Ye
sey
good
Ischomacus
that
ye
muste
sowe
lesse
seede
on
a
weker
grounde
.
Ischo
.
So
I
do
in
dede
good
Socrates
:
and
ye
also
dyd
graunte
hit
vnto
me
a
littel
afore
,
whan
ye
sayd
,
that
ye
thought
that
the
weakest
shuld
be
left
charged
.
So.
But
for
what
reason
good
Ischomachus
,
do
ye
make
dyches
in
the
corne
feldes
?
Ischo
.
Ye
wotte
wel
,
that
in
wynter
are
many
showers
.
So.
what
therof
?
Ischo
.
Mary
therof
chaunce
many
hurtes
:
for
a
great
parte
of
the
felde
is
surrounded
with
water
,
and
the
corne
coueredde
in
mudde
,
and
the
rootes
of
moche
of
the
corne
are
worne
and
wasshed
awaye
with
the
water
,
and
further
often
tymes
by
reason
of
the
greate
abundaunce
of
water
,
there
cometh
moche
wides
and
other
harlotry
,
that
suppresseth
&
distroyeth
the
corne
.
So.
It
is
lyke
inough
,
that
all
this
shulde
be
.
Isc
.
And
thynke
ye
than
,
that
the
corne
beinge
in
that
takinge
/
hath
not
nede
to
be
holpe
?
So.
Yes
mary
.
Isch
.
Than
if
the
corne
be
couered
with
mudde
,
what
shal
we
do
to
helpe
it
?
So.
Mary
ease
the
grounde
and
make
it
lighter
.
Ischo
.
But
what
if
the
root
is
be
waxed
thynne
and
almoste
worne
away
?
So.
Than
ye
must
cast
to
more
erthe
that
it
maye
take
roote
and
growe
agayne
.
Isch
.
But
what
if
the
wides
and
other
harlotry
sucke
vp
the
moysture
from
the
corne
,
lyke
as
the
drone
bees
,
the
whiche
beinge
them selfes
vnprofitable
do
robbe
awaye
&
eate
vp
the
bees
vitayles
,
that
they
had
set
vp
for
to
worke
with
?
So.
Mary
the
wides
and
harlotry
must
be
pluckte
and
cut
away
,
lyke
wise
as
the
drone
bees
are
voyded
our
of
the
hyues
.
Ischo
.
Thynke
yon
than
that
we
do
not
make
the
dyches
and
sloughes
in
the
feldes
for
a
good
cause
?
So.
Forsothe
so
it
is
,
but
I
thinke
nowe
in
my
mynde
good
Ischomacus
,
what
a
thynge
it
is
to
brynge
in
similitudes
&
likenessis
.
For
ye
haue
moued
me
more
a
greate
deale
/
and
made
me
more
displeased
ageynst
these
wides
,
whan
ye
spake
of
the
drone
bees
,
than
whan
ye
spake
of
the
wides
them selfes
.
But
nowe
after
this
sayd
I
,
haruest
season
wyl
come
/
wherfore
I
pray
you
tell
me
if
ye
haue
any
thinge
to
teche
me
in
this
matter
.
Ischo
.
So
I
wyl
,
if
ye
do
not
shewe
your selfe
,
that
ye
knowe
it
as
wel
as
I.
This
ones
ye
knowe
that
the
corne
muste
alway
be
reaped
.
Soc.
What
els
?
Isch
.
Whether
than
must
ye
stande
to
reape
it
with
the
wynde
or
agaynste
the
wynde
?
