Synopsis
Excerpt from A Platonick Discourse Upon Love
1xwrought the art wherewith I should be brought. From then until now I have sent no messenger, but those that have spoken of me have done so either for their own desire of knowledge or be cause they were heated by this fire. I have chosen thee for my third messenger, and this has been done with reason; for as the first was divine in his sweetness, and the second was a most perfect poet, so art thou a philosopher full of wisdom; and because thou art not a slave of Love, but a friend, I command thee not, but I pray thee to renew my memory in the world, and to tell of my nature and secret conditions, upon which the other speakers have not touched.' Having heard this, that noble Squire answered the Lady, and said: 'my Lady, what you pray of me shall be done, but, because the world is full of divers fash ions, tell me the fashion that you would have me adopt in my speech.' And the Lady made reply: 'i will tell thee one condition of mine, which is that I can verily give the desire of speaking, but cannot give the wisdom and the fashion; but hie thee to those Ladies on the mountain, who are the two Philosophies, Moral and Natural, and they will teach thee the fashion of Speaking.
