He that hath this disease, first as thoughe he had on hym some tickelyng ytche, all to beskratcheth his bodie with suche pleasure, as is also mingled with some smart, And within a litle while aftre, when the lyce beginne to craule, and the bodie beginneth to mattre, enraged with the bittrenes and grief of the disease, he teareth and mangleth his whole bodie with his nailes, putting furth in the mean while many a greuous grone.

He has not now to do with a Lyce, a Canidia, a Cassius Severus, or a Menas; but is to correct the vices and the follies of his time, and to give the rules of a happy and virtuous life. In a word, that former sort of satire which is known in England by the name of lampoon is a dangerous sort of weapon, and for the most part unlawful.

The gods have heard my prayers, O Lyce; Lyce, the gods have heard my prayers, you are become an old woman, and yet you would fain seem a beauty; and you wanton and drink in an audacious manner; and when drunk, solicit tardy Cupid, with a quivering voice. He basks in the charming cheeks of the blooming Chia, who is a proficient on the lyre.

To Cynara the Fates accord but a few years; a wanton Lyce laughs, cheats her adorers, and outlives the crow. There is an unintended moral here " Demetrios said, "Yet you do not forget." "I know nothing as to this Perion you tell me of. I only know the Perion I loved has not forgotten," answered Melicent. And Demetrios, evincing a twinge like that of gout, demanded her reasons.

But if Lyce, as is her custom, wished, by so saying, to cheat you into believing that she loved you, and thereby to wheedle you out of a new shawl, she would still speak by the spirit of truth?" A. "I suppose so." S. "But if, again, she said the same thing to Phaethon, she would still speak by the spirit of truth?" "By no means, Socrates," said I, laughing.

O Lyce, had you drunk from the remote Tanais, in a state of marriage with tome barbarian, yet you might be sorry to expose me, prostrate before your obdurate doors, to the north winds that have made those places their abode. And how Jupiter glazes the settled snow with his bright influence? Lay aside disdain, offensive to Venus, lest your rope should run backward, while the wheel is revolving.

S. "Be silent, fair boy; you are out of court as an interested party. Alcibiades shall answer. If Lyce, being really mad with love, like Sappho, were to believe Phaethon to be fairer than you, and say so, she would still speak by the spirit of truth?" A. "I suppose so." S. "Do not frown; your beauty is in no question. Only she would then be saying what is not true?"

Of the too emphaticSyrenahe says: “Her judgment just, her sentence is too strong; Because she’s right, she’s ever in the wrong.” Of the diplomaticJulia:” “For her own breakfast she’ll project a scheme, Nor take her tea without a stratagem.” OfLyce,” the old painted coquette: “In vain the cock has summoned sprites away; She walks at noon and blasts the bloom of day.”

A. "I assert that whosoever says honestly what he believes, does so by the spirit of truth." S. "Then if Lyce, patting those soft cheeks of yours, were to say: 'Alcibiades, thou art the fairest youth in Athens, she would speak by the spirit of truth?" A. "They say so." S. "And they say rightly.
