Is your void friendship come thus to pass?
Aristippus. I follow the proverb: Amicus usque ad aras.
Carisophus. Where can you say I ever lost mine honesty?
Aristippus. You never lost it, for you never had it, as far as I know.
Carisophus. Say you so, friend Aristippus, whom I trust so well?
Aristippus. Because you trust me, to you the truth I tell.
Carisophus. Will you not stretch one point, to bring me in favour again?
Aristippus. I love no stretching; so I may breed mine own pain.
Carisophus. A friend ought to shun no pain, to stand his friend in stead.
Aristippus. Where true friendship is, it is so in very deed.
