heaven.

Strep. What shall I experience?

Cho. You shall pass with me the most enviable of mortal
lives the whole time.

Strep. Shall I then ever see this?

Cho. Yea, so that many be always seated at your gates,
wishing to communicate with you and come to a conference
with you, to consult with you as to actions and
affidavits of many talents, as is worthy of your
abilities.

[To Socrates.]

But attempt to teach the old man by degrees whatever you
purpose, and scrutinize his intellect, and make trial of
his mind.

Soc. Come now, tell me your own turn of mind; in order
that, when I know of what sort it is, I may now, after
this, apply to you new engines.

Strep. What? By the gods, do you purpose to besiege me?

Soc. No; I wish to briefly learn from you if you are
possessed of a good memory.
