hee tooke vp a booke sate downe and saide nothing Melissa his maid told mee it was his maner and that ofteÌ„times she was fain to thrust meate in to his mouth for that he wold rather starue theÌ„ ceasse studie Wel thoght I seeing bookish men are so blockish so great clearkes such simple courtiers I will neither be partaker of their coÌ„mons nor their commeÌ„dations FroÌ„ thence I came to Plato and to Aristotle and to diuerse other none refusing to come sauing an old obscure fellowe who sitting in a tub turned towardes the sonne read Greek to a young boy him when I willed to appeare before Alexander he answered if Alexander would faine see me let him come to me if learne of mee lette him come to me whatsoeuer it be let him come to me why said I he is a king hee 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 sayinges So going my way I said thou shalt repent it if thou coÌ„mest not to Alexander nay smiling answered hee Alexander may repent it if he come not to Diogenes vertue must be sought not offered and so turning himself to his cell 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 naturall causes should worke supernal 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 anye reason of the ebbing and flowing of the Sea which makes mee 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 eternall and diuine mouer which may be called God Cleant. I am of this minde that that firste moouer which you tearme God is the instrument of all the mouinges which we attribute to nature The earth which is masse swimmeth on the sea seasons deuided in themselues fruites growing in themselues the maiestie of the skie the whole firmament of the world and whatsoeuer els appeareth miraculous what man almoste of meane capacitie but can proue it naturall Anaxar These causes shal be debated at our Philosophers feast in which controuersie I will take parte with Aristotle that there is Naturanaturans and 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 Hephest. They were not Philosophers if they knewe not their dueties Alex. But I much meruaile Diogenes shoulde bee so dogged Hephest. I do not think but his excuse wil be better then Melippus message Alex. I wil go see him Hephestion because I long to see him that would commaunde Alexander to come to whom all the world is like to come Aristotle the reste sithence my comming from Thebes to Athens from a place of conqueste to a pallace of quiet I haue resolued with my self in my court to haue as many Philosophers as I had in my camp soldiers My court shal be a schoole wherein I wil haue vsed as great doctrine in peace as I did in warre discipline Arist. We are al here ready to be commanded glad we are that we are commanded for that nothing better becommeth kinges then literature which maketh them come as neere to the Gods in wisdome as they doe 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 hearte 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 frequente my courte instructe the young with rules confirme the olde with reasons lette your liues be answerable to your learninges leaste my proceedinges be contrary to my promises Hophest. You sayde you woulde aske euerye one of them a question which yester night none of vs could 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 bee thought a God Arist. In doing a thing vnpossible for a man Alex. Crisyppus which was first the day or the night Crisip. The day by a day Alex. In deede straunge questions must haue straung answers 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 think 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 answered all well and in such questions I meane often to trye them Hephest. It is better to haue in your court a wise manne then in your ground a golden mine Therefore would I leane war to studie wisdome were I Alexander Alex. So would I were I Hephestion But come let vs go and giue release as I promised to our Theban thralles Exeunt Plato Thou art fortunate Aristotle that Alexander is thy scholler Arist. And all you happy that he is your souereigne Crisip. I could like the man well if he could be conteÌ„ted to be but a man Arist. He seeketh to draw neere to the Gods in knowledge not to be a God Plato Let vs questioÌ„ a litle with Diogines why he went not with vs to Alexander Diogenes thou didst forget thy duetie that thou wentst not with vs to the king Dioge. And you your profession that you went to the king Plato Thou takest as great pride to be peeuish as others do glory to be vertuous Diog. And thou as great honor being a Philosopher to be thought courtlike as others shame that be courtiers to be accounted Philosophers Arist. These austere maners set aside it is wel known that thou didst counterfeit money Diog. And thou thy manners in that thou didst not counterfeit money Arist. Thou hast reason to contemn the court being both in bodye and minde too crooked for a courtier Diog. As good bee crooked and endeuour to make my selfe straight from the court as to bee straighte and learne to be crooked at the court Crates Thou thinkest
