Minding to haue aid omething vnto thee (O Socrates) I am impeached with bahfull hame: For o farre am I now from the horror and dread of death, that I continually couet the time thereof: So hath thy heauenly and comfortable peeches pierced and recieued my faint heart. And nowe loath I this life, and corne the delights thereof, as that hall from henceforth pae into a better abode. And now by my elfe alone will I recount thee thy notable ayings, but I pray thee (O Socrates) after noone reort to me againe.

I will doo as you ay, and now will I returne to walk in my chool Lynoargus from whence I was hither called.
