Socrates

Soc. And if anyone is found to be a lover of Alcibiades’ body, he has fallen in love, not with Alcibiades, but with something belonging to Alcibiades?

Alcibiades

Alc. That is true.

Socrates

Soc. Your lover is rather he who loves your soul? 20

Alcibiades

Alc. He must be, apparently, by our argument.

Socrates

Soc. And he who loves your body quits you, and is gone, as soon as its bloom is over?

Alcibiades

Alc. Apparently.

Socrates

Soc. Whereas he who loves your soul will not quit you so long as it makes for what is better?

Alcibiades

Alc. So it seems. 25

Socrates

Soc. And I am he who does not quit you, but remains with you when your body’s prime is over, and the rest have departed.

Alcibiades

Alc. Yes, and I am glad of it, Socrates, and hope you will not go.

Socrates

Soc. Then you must endeavor to be as handsome as you can.

Alcibiades

Alc. Well, I shall endeavor.

Socrates

Soc. You see how you stand: Alcibiades, the son of Cleinias, it seems, neither had nor has any lover except one only, and that a cherished one, Socrates, the son of Sophroniscus and Phaenarete. 30

Alcibiades

Alc. True.

Socrates

Soc. And you said that I only just anticipated you in coming to you, for otherwise you would have come to me first for the purpose of inquiring why I am the only one who does not leave you?

Alcibiades

Alc. Yes, that was so.
