     And   this   has   been   proved   conclusively   by   a   notable   example。   If   we 

look back to the men of old who sat at the feet of Cheironwhose names I 

mentionedwe see that it was by dedicating the years of their youth to the 

chase��23�А�that they learnt all their noble lore�察�and therefrom they attained 

to great renown�察�and are admired even to this day for their virtuevirtue 

who numbers all men as her lovers�察�as is very plain。 Only because of the 

pains it costs to win her the greater number fall away�察�for the achievement 

of her is hid in obscurity�察�while the pains that cleave to her are manifest。 

Perchance�察  �if   only   she   were   endowed   with   a   visible   bodily   frame�察  �men 

would less have neglected her�察�knowing that even as she is visible to them�察�

so they also are not hid from her eyes。 For is it not so that when a man 

moves   in   the   presence   of   him   whom   he   dearly   loves�撮�24�А  �he   rises   to   a 

height   above   himself�察  �being   incapable   of   aught   base   or   foul   in   word   or 

deed   in   sight   of   him�殖�25�А  �But   fondly   dreaming   that   the   eye   of   virtue   is 

closed to them�察�they are guilty of many a base thing and foul before her 

very face�察�who is hidden from their eyes。 Yet she is present everywhere�察�

being      dowered      with    immortality�察     �and    those     who     are   perfect    in 

goodness��26�А�she honours�察�but the wicked she thrusts aside from honour。 

If only  men   could know that   she regards them�察 �how eagerly would they 

rush to the embrace of toilful training and tribulation�撮�27�А�by which alone 

she is hardly taken�察�and so should they gain the mastery over her�察�and she 

should be laid captive at their feet。

that   though   they   profess�察  �the   greater   part   of   them�察  �to   lead   the   young   to
