Hermes

What are you all whining about, you fools? You philosopher, late of the beard,—youre as bad as any of them.

A Philosopher

Ah, Hermes: I had thought that the soul was immortal.

Menippus

He lies: that is not the cause of his distress.

Hermes

What is it, then?

Menippus

He knows that he will never have a good dinner again; never sneak about at night with his cloak over his head, going the round of the brothels; never spend his mornings in fooling boys out of their money, under the pretext of teaching them wisdom.

A Philosopher

And pray are you content to be dead?

Menippus

It may be presumed so, as I sought death of my own
