and saide nothing Melissa his maid told me it was his manner and that ofteÌ„times she was fain to thrust meate into his mouth for that he wold rather starue theÌ„ ceasse studie Well thoght I seeing bookish men are so blockish so great clarkes such simple courtiers I wil neither be partaker of their coÌ„mons nor their commeÌ„dations FroÌ„ thence I came to Plato to Aristotle and to diuerse other none refusing to come sauing an old obscure fellowe who sitting in a tub turned towardes the sunne reade Greek to a yong boy him when I willed to appeare before Alexander he answeared if Alexander wold faine see me let him come to mee if learne of me lette him come to me whasoeuer it be let him come to me why said I he is a king he answered why I am a Philosopher why but he is Alexander I but I am Diogenes I was halfe angry to see one so crooked in his shape to be so crabbed in his sayings So going my way I said thou shalt repent it if thou coÌ„mest not to Alexander nay smiling answered he Alexander may repent it if he come not to Diogenes vertue must be sought not offered and so turning himself to his cel he grunted I know not what like a pig vnder a tub But I must be gone the Philosophers are comming Exit Plato It is a difficult controuersie Aristotle and rather to be wondred at then beleeued how natural causes should worke supernatural effects Arist I doe not so much stand vpon the apparition is seene in the Moone neither the Demonium of Socrates as that I cannot by naturall reason giue any reason of the ebbing and flowing of the Sea which makes me in the depth of my studies to crye out O ens entium miserere mei Plato Cleanthes and you attribute so muche to nature by searching for things which are not to be found that whilest you studie a cause of your owne you omitte the occasion it selfe There is no man so sauage in whom resteth not this diuine particle that there is an omnipotent eternal and deuine mouer which may be called God Cleant. I am of this minde that that first mouer which you tearme God is the instrument of all the mouings which we attribute to nature The earth which is masse swimmeth on the sea seasons deuided in themselues fruits growing in themselues the maiestie of the skie the whole firmament of the world whatsoeuer els appeareth miraculous what man almost of meane capacity but can proue it naturall Anaxar These causes shal be debated at our Philosophers feast in which controuersie I wil take parte with Aristotle that there is Natura naturans yet not God Craterus And I with Plato that there is Deus optimus maximus and not nature Arist Here commeth Alexander Alex. I see Hephestion that these Philosophers are here attending for vs. Heph. They were not Philosophers if they knew not their dueties Alex. But I much maruaile Diogenes shoulde be so dogged Heph. I doe not think but his excuse wil be better then Melippus message Alex. I will go see him Hephestion because I long to see him that would commaund Alexander to come to whom al the world is like to come Aristotle the rest sithence my comming from Thebes to Athens from a place of conquest to a pallace of quiet I haue resolued with my self in my court to haue as many Philisophers as I had in my camp soldiers My court shal be a schole wherein I wil haue vsed as great doctrine in peace as I did in warre discipline Arist We are al here ready to be commaunded glad we are that we are commaunded for that nothing better becommeth kings theÌ„ literature which maketh them come as neere to the Gods in wisdome as they do in dignitie Alex. It is so Aristotle but yet there is among you yea of your bringing vp that sought to destroy Alexander Calistenes Aristotle whose treasons againste his prince shall not bee borne out with the reasons of his Phylosophy Arist If euer mischiefe entred into the heart of Calistenes let Calistenes suffer for it but that Aristotle euer imagined any such thing of Calistenes Aristotle doth denie Alex. Well Aristotle kindred may blind thee and affection mee but in kinges causes I will not stande to schollers arguments This meeting shal be for a coÌ„mandement that you all frequent my courte instructe the young with rules confirme the olde with reasons lette your liues be answerable to your learnings leaste my proceedings by contrary to my promises Hephest You sayde you woulde aske euery one of them a question which yester night none of vs coulde aunswere Alex. I will Plato of all beastes which is the subtillest Plato That which man hetherto neuer knew Alex. Aristotle how should a man be thought a God Arist In doing a thing vnpossible for a man Alex. Crisippus which was first the day or the night Crisp The day by a day Alex. Indeede straunge questions must haue straung answeres Cleanthes what say you is life or death the stronger Clean. Life that suffereth so many troubles Alex. Crates how long should a man liue Crates Till he thinke it better to die then liue Alex. Anaxarchus whether doth the sea or the earth bring forth most creatures Anax. The earth for the sea is but a parte of the earth Alex. Hephestion me thinkes they haue aunswered all well in such questions I meane often to trie them Heph. It is better to haue in your courte a wise man then in your ground a golden mine Therefore would I leaue war to studie wisdom were I Alexander Alex. So would I were I Hephestion But come let vs go and giue release as I promised to our ThebaÌ„ thralles Exeunt Plato Thou art fortunate Aristotle that Alexander is thy scholler Arist And you happy that he is your soueraigne Crisip I could like the man well if he could be conteÌ„ted to be but a man Ari. He seeketh to draw neere to the Gods in knowledge not to be a God Plato Let vs questioÌ„ a litle with Diogenes why he went not with vs to Alexander Diogenes thou didst forget thy dutie that thou wentst not with vs to the king Diog. And you your profession that you went to the king Plato Thou takest as great pride to bee peeuish as others doe glory to bee vertuous Diog. And thou as great honor being a Philosopher to bee thought courtlike as others shame that be courtiers to be accounted Philosophers Arist These austere maners set a side it is wel known that thou didst counterfeate monye Diog. And thou thy maners in that thou didste not counterfeite money Arist Thou hast reason to coÌ„temn the courte being both in body and mynde too crooked for a courtier Diog. As good be crooked and endeuour to make my self straight from the court as to be straight and learne to be crooked at the court Crates Thou thinkest it a grace to be opposite against Alexander Diog.

fall not from the armour of Mars to the armes of Venus from the fiery assaults of war to the maideÌ„ly skirmishes of loue from displaying the Eagle in thine ensigne to set downe the sparow I sighe Alexander that where fortune could not conquer folly shuld ouercome But behold al the perfection that may be in Campaspe a hayre curling by nature not arte sweete alluring eies a faire face made in dispite of Venus and a stately porte in disdaine of Iuno a witte apt to conceiue and quick to answere a skin as soft as silk and as smooth as iet a longe white hand a fine litle foote to conclude all partes answerable to the best part what of this Though she haue heauenly giftes vertue and bewtie is she not of earthly mettal flesh and bloud You Alexander that would be a God shew your selfe in this worse then a man so soone to be both ouerseene and ouertaken in a womaÌ„ whose false teares know their true times whose smooth words wound deeper then sharpe swordes There is no surfeit so dangerous as that of honney nor anye poyson so deadly as that of loue in the one phisicke cannot preuaile nor in the other counsell Alex. My case were light Hephestion and not worthy to be called loue if reason were a remedy or sentences could salue that sence caÌ„not conceiue Litle do you know and therefore sleightly do you regarde the dead embers in a priuate persoÌ„ or liue coles in a great prince whose passions and thoughts do as far exceede others in extremitie as their callings doe in Maiestie An Eclipse in the Sunne is more then the falling of a starre none can conceiue the torments of a king vnlesse hee be a king whose desires are not inferior to their dignities And then iudge Hephestion if the agonies of loue be dangerous in a subiect whether they be not more then deadly vnto Alexander whose deep and not to be conceiued sighes cleaue the hart in shiuers whose wouÌ„ded thoughtes can neither be expressed nor endured Cease then Hephestion with arguments to seeke to refel that which with their deitie the Gods cannot resist let this suffice to aunswere thee that it is a king that loueth and Alexander whose affectioÌ„s are not to be measured by reason being immortall nor I feare me to be borne being intollerable Hephe. I must needs yeeld when neither reason nor counsell can be heard Alex. Yeeld Hephestion for Alexander doth loue and therefore must obtaine Heph. Suppose she loues not you affection commeth not by appointmente or birth then as good hated as enforced Alex. I am a king and will commaund Hephe. You may to yeelde to luste by force but to consent to loue by feare you cannot Alex. Why what is that which Alexander may not conquer as he list Hephe. Why that which you say the Gods cannot resiste Loue. Alex. I am a conquerour she a captiue I as fortunate as she faire my greatnes may aunswere her wants and the giftes of my minde the modestie of hers Is it not likely then that she should loue Is it not reasonable Heph. You say that in loue there is no reason therfore there can be no likelyhood Alex. No more Hephestion in this case I wil vse mine owne counsell and in all other thine aduice thou maist be a good soldier but neuer good louer Cal my Page Sirha goe presently to Apelles and will him to come to me without either delay or excuse Page I goe Alex. In the meane season to recreate my spirits being so neare we will goe see Diogenes and see where his tub is Diogenes Diog. Who calleth Alex. Alexander How happened it that you woulde not come out of your tub to my palace Diog. Because it was as far from my tub to your pallace as from your palace to my tub Alex. Why theÌ„ doest thou ow no reuereÌ„ce to kings Diog. No. Alex. Why so Diog. Because they be no Gods Alex. They be Gods of the earth Diog. Yea Gods of earth Alex. Plato is not of thy mind Diog. I am glad of it Alex. Why Diog. Because I would haue none of Diogenes minde but Diogenes Alex. If Alexander haue any thing that may pleasure Diogenes let me know and take it Diog. Then take not from me that you cannot giue me the light of the world Alex. What doest thou want Diog. Nothing that you haue Alex. I haue the world at commaund Diog. And I in contempt Alex. Thou shalt liue no longer than I will Diog. But I will die whether you will or no. Alex. How should one learn to be content Diog. Vnlearn to couet Alex. Hephestion were I not Alexander I wolde wishe to be Diogenes Heph. He is dogged but discrete I cannot tel how sharpe with a kinde of sweetenes ful of wit yet too too wayward Alex. Diogenes wheÌ„ I come this way again I will both see thee and confer with thee Diog. Doe Alex. But here commeth Apelles how now Apelles is Venus face yet finished Apel. Not yet Bewty is not so soone shadowed whose perfection commeth not within the compasse either of cunning or of colour Alex.

Lady I doubt whether there bee any colour so fresh that may shadow a countenance so faire Camp Sir I had thought you had beene commaunded to paint with your hand not to glose with your tongue but as I haue heard it is the hardest thing in painting to set down a hard fauour which maketh you to dispair of my face and then shall you haue as great thanks to spare your labour as to discredit your arte Apel. Mistresse you neither differ from you selfe nor your sex for knowing your owne perfection you seeme to dispraise that which men most coÌ„mend drawing theÌ„ by that meane into an admiration where feeding them selues they fall into an extasie your modestie being the cause of the one and of the other your affections Camp I am too young to vnderstande your speache thogh old enough to withstand your deuise you haue bin so long vsed to colours you caÌ„ do nothing but colour Apel.
