 5 Lysis|            exaggerated, sentimental love of Hippothales towards Lysis,
 6 Lysis|          place is assigned by us to love and marriage. The very meaning
 7 Lysis|          friendship, even more than love, liable to be swayed by
 8 Lysis|          and without the thought of love or marriage; whether, again,
 9 Lysis|            this Romance of Heavenly Love requires a strength, a freedom
10 Lysis|             or that you are not, in love; the confession is too late;
11 Lysis|            that you are not only in love, but are already far gone
12 Lysis|            already far gone in your love. Simple and foolish as I
13 Lysis|       manner of singing them to his love; he has a voice which is
14 Lysis|            noble and really perfect love you have found! I wish that
15 Lysis|        lover ought to say about his love, either to the youth himself,
16 Lysis|           said, that you disown the love of the person whom he says
17 Lysis|        person whom he says that you love?~No; but I deny that I make
18 Lysis|        lover, and very devotedly in love, he has nothing particular
19 Lysis|           if you win your beautiful love, your discourses and songs
20 Lysis|            conquered and won such a love; but if he slips away from
21 Lysis|           may become endeared to my love?~That is not easy to determine,
22 Lysis|          but if you will bring your love to me, and will let me talk
23 Lysis|         that your father and mother love you very much.~Certainly,
24 Lysis|           if your father and mother love you, and desire that you
25 Lysis|         others, and will any others love us, in as far as we are
26 Lysis|           can your father or mother love you, nor can anybody love
27 Lysis|           love you, nor can anybody love anybody else, in so far
28 Lysis|            Nothing can exceed their love; and yet they imagine either
29 Lysis|       either side, unless they both love one another?~There would
30 Lysis|           but now, unless they both love, neither is a friend.~That
31 Lysis|         Then nothing which does not love in return is beloved by
32 Lysis|              whom the horses do not love in return; nor lovers of
33 Lysis|    exercises, who have no return of love; no, nor of wisdom, unless
34 Lysis|           shall we say that they do love them, although they are
35 Lysis|        young children, too young to love, or even hating their father
36 Lysis|           loves that which does not love him or which even hates
37 Lysis| philosophers who say that like must love like? they are the people
38 Lysis|            will not.~Neither can he love that which he does not desire?~
39 Lysis|             who is ignorant, has to love and court him who knows.’

41 Lysis|            a thing as friendship or love at all, we must infer that
42 Lysis|          and the healthy man has no love of the physician, because
43 Lysis|          would not still desire and love the good; for, as we were
44 Lysis|             bad. But the bad do not love wisdom any more than the
