Socrates looked at him and said: I return your good wishes, and will do
as you bid. Then, turning to us, he said, How charming the man is: since
I have been in prison he has always been coming to see me, and at times
he would talk to me, and was as good as could be to me, and now see how
generously he sorrows for me. But we must do as he says, Crito; let the
cup be brought, if the poison is prepared: if not, let the attendant
prepare some.
Yet, said Crito, the sun is still upon the hilltops, and many a one has
taken the draught late, and after the announcement has been made to him,
he has eaten and drunk, and indulged in sensual delights; do not hasten
then, there is still time.
Socrates said: Yes, Crito, and they of whom you speak are right in doing
thus, for they think that they will gain by the delay; but I am right in
not doing thus, for I do not think that I should gain anything by
drinking the poison a little later; I should be sparing and saving a
life which is already gone: I could only laugh at myself for this.
Please then to do as I say, and not to refuse me.
