your love Sir said I I am not unthankfull and vvould you bring this man to me I should acknowledge my selfe farther ingag'd so parting from him I went home where meeting vvith my Aegyptian slave I soundly bepummelled him on the face with my fist and with threatning language compelled him to confesse all that Charmides had told mee vvhich vvhen I had extorted I cast him into gaole By this time was Chaereas returned with Gorgias his servant to whom I willingly disbursed the money as a revvard due to them for their good tidings but said I heare my opinion concerning this your medicine a potion you know vvas the cause of her sicknesse wherefore in my judgement it vvere not fit that her bodie should be weakned by any more physicke but goe to mingle your ingredients here that wee may see what they are which if you doe you shall have halfe your pay beforehand You do well quoth the servant to feare the worst yet such things as I shal give her I would have you know are common and such as we usually eate for the same quantity which I shall give her I will first take my selfe so immediately hee named every ingredient and sent for them by a messenger which vvhen they were brought hee pounded and mingled before us and dividing them into two parts the one hee said hee would first take himselfe the other hee vvould give the maide which as soone as she had taken she should rest well all that night and in the morning not onely be freed from sleepe but also from her disease which he straightway did and went to sleepe having first had halfe his money which I promised him he should have before the cure and the other halfe after and left prescription how Leucippe should take the rest The evening drawing on for that was the time prescribed when Leucippe should drink her potion taking the cup in my hand thus I said O medicine which sprangest from the goddesse Tellus and wast bestowed on mankinde by Aesculapius may thy vertue bee greater than the large promises of this Physician be propitious and expell from her stomacke this salvage and barbarous poison that I may againe enjoy my Leucippe Having with these words compacted as it were with the physicke for her recovery and kissing the cup againe and againe I administred it which she had no sooner received but as the Physician had before told us shee fell asleepe then taking my place by her I askt her these questions as if she had beene awake Wilt thou againe recover thy lost senses wilt thou any more acknowledge me shall I hear the melodious harmony of thy voice tell me prophesie in thy dreame for so thou didst yesterday when thou exclaimd'st against Gorgias tell me I say for now thou canst best seeing thy dreames savour of wisedome thy words and actions of folly and madnesse While I thus spake the long-lookt for day appeared and Leucippe awakened and called me by name whereat I starting from my seat ranne nearer to her and askt her how she did but she not knowing it seemes what had past stood a great while wondering how shee came bound by this perceiving her to bee fully recovered I speedily loosed her bonds and related to her the whole story of her madnesse which when she heard she blusht thinking her selfe still to be mad but I cheering her up bid her be of good comfort and discharged the expense of her sicknesse for those moneyes which wee had tooke with us to fray the charges of our journey Satyrus had kept safe in the midst of our shipwracke nor did Menelaus or I after that take any thing from the theeves The shepheards whom you heard even now had got the victory were not long after by fresh supply of souldiers sent from the chiefe Citie utterly overthrowne and their Cities ransackt whereby wee being freed from the feare of robbing set forward once more for Alexandria taking Chereas along with us whom for his extraordinary love wee kindly intreated admitted into our familiarity he was by profession a fisherman of the Iland Phares who in the sea fight against the shepheards for his skill in Navigation served as a souldier and that ended was dismist So as before I told you the coasts being clear and the feare of robbing which for a long time had staved us off from our intended voyage being past we stroke saile Then the noise of the Mariners the singing of the passengers the pleasantnesse of the river whose streams more smooth than the Marble seeming as it were keepe holyday gave us no small delight at that time desiring to know the sweetnesse of the river Nilus I dranke some of the water not mixing any wine with it least it should be an hindrance to mee in descrying the nature or discerning the taste so I fil'd a Christall glasse with the water which seem'd to mee more cleare than the glasse to the taste it was cold yet sweet and pleasant withall so that the Aegyptians having store of this water feele no want of wine nor doe they drinke it in cups as we doe but in the hollow of their hands for the mariners lying along fill their hands with it and cast it into their mouth which they were so expert at that they spild not a drop One thing I saw about the river worth the taking notice of a creature farre fiercer than the horse of Nilus the name of it is a Crocodile in shape it resembles both a fish and a foure-footed beast he is of a great length but his breadth is no way proportionable to it his skinne is rough with scales his backe of a darke colour like a rocke his breast white his foure legges bend outward as the legges of a land Tortoise his taile is thicke and long not much unlike the rest of his body which being part of his backe bone as it were is hard set with a row of teeth on the top like a saw this in taking his prey he useth as a whip or scourge striking such beasts as hee would devoure and at one blow making many wounds his necke is immediately joyned to his shoulders that you can perceive no space betwixt them Nature having conceal'd it the rest of his body is of a horrible shape especially when he opens his jawes for you would thinke him then all mouth and when he gapes not he lookes as if he were all head when he feeds he moves only the upper jaw which is observable in no other creature his teeth are many set like the teeth of a comb which they that have numbred have found to be so many as there be daies in the yeare how vast and strong hee is if you saw him on the land for he is of those kinde of beasts which we cal Amphibia you would think almost incredible The end of the fourth Booke THE FIFTH BOOKE The Argument Chereas being admitted to the familiarity of Clitophon sets Pirats to steal away
