Dialogue

 1 Euthyd|          very serious purpose. It may fairly claim to be the oldest
 2 Euthyd|          the combinations of them may properly be included.~To
 3 Euthyd|           that the youth Cleinias may be discouraged at these
 4 Euthyd|       result of the investigation may be summed up as follows:—~
 5 Euthyd|           which is profitable and may be used. What knowledge
 6 Euthyd|          is a good, and yet there may be too much of them in wrong
 7 Euthyd|          tricks of language which may have been practised by the
 8 Euthyd|        two discourses of Socrates may be contrasted in several
 9 Euthyd|       grandson of Alcibiades, who may be compared with Lysis,
10 Euthyd|        are you not too old? there may be reason to fear that.~
11 Euthyd|        which I covet, quite, as I may say, in old age; last year,
12 Euthyd|          only apprehensive that I may bring the two strangers
13 Euthyd|   treatment; the fear of ridicule may make them unwilling to receive
14 Euthyd|           of their wisdom, that I may know beforehand what we
15 Euthyd|   incredulity steals over me.~You may take our word, Socrates,
16 Euthyd|          favour to exhibit. There may be some trouble in giving
17 Euthyd|    naturally afraid that some one may get the start of us, and
18 Euthyd|           wrong direction, and he may be ruined. Your visit, therefore,
19 Euthyd|            this I say because you may not understand what the
20 Euthyd|   required to tell us this, which may be easily answered; for
21 Euthyd|        good-fortune; even a child may know that.~The simple-minded
22 Euthyd|           Yes, in my opinion.~And may a person use them either
23 Euthyd|            Reflect, Socrates; you may have to deny your words.~
24 Euthyd|        evil of evil men. And if I may give you a piece of advice,
25 Euthyd|        person to Dionysodorus; he may put me into the pot, like
26 Euthyd|     myself to the strangers; they may skin me alive, if they please (
27 Euthyd|           Ctesippus; then now you may hear me contradicting Dionysodorus.~
28 Euthyd|           just now proved, as you may remember, that no man could
29 Euthyd|         said Ctesippus; you and I may contradict all the same
30 Euthyd|          he cannot speak falsely, may he not think falsely?~No,
31 Euthyd|           can, in the hope that I may touch their hearts and move
32 Euthyd|         and interested, they also may be serious. You, Cleinias,
33 Euthyd|    knowledge ought we to acquire? May we not answer with absolute
34 Euthyd|         be any use in that, if we may argue from the analogy of
35 Euthyd|   instructor.~SOCRATES: Perhaps I may have forgotten, and Ctesippus
36 Euthyd|          my good Crito, that they may have been spoken by some
37 Euthyd|        good government, and which may be described, in the language
38 Euthyd|        supreme power? Perhaps you may not be ready with an answer?~
39 Euthyd|          for which we are seeking—May I assume this to be your
40 Euthyd|           that this word ‘always’ may get us into trouble.~You,
41 Euthyd| impossible.~And now, he said, you may add on whatever you like,
42 Euthyd|    brother Dionysodorus; then you may do it. Tell me now, both
43 Euthyd|       though I am afraid that you may prove me to be one.~Are
44 Euthyd|          possible in himself, and may he not be deemed the happiest
45 Euthyd|           hope that you the enemy may slay.~‘Whom one knows, he
46 Euthyd|   unambiguous, but in combination may imply either that the letters
47 Euthyd|      which propositions and terms may be ambiguous.’~Yes, I do.~
48 Euthyd|            but you, my sweet man, may perhaps imagine that they
49 Euthyd|     nothing—you are doing so.~And may there not be a silence of
50 Euthyd|           desperate twist that he may get away, I said: No, Dionysodorus,
51 Euthyd|        there is a danger that men may undervalue an art which
52 Euthyd|           of others. And though I may appear ridiculous in venturing
53 Euthyd|      advise you, I think that you may as well hear what was said
54 Euthyd|         ambition of theirs— which may be forgiven; for every man
