ME: What about your uncle  do you ever see him? HIM: Yes  he walks past me in the street. ME WHAT ABOUT YOUR UNCLE DO YOU EVER SEE HIM HIM YES HE WALKS PAST ME IN THE STREET
irsty and I drank sometimes. However, I grew a beard, and when that came, I shaved it off. ME: You shouldn't have done that. It's the one thing you need to be a wise man. HIM: That's right. I have a lofty wrinkled forehead, a burning eye, a jutting nose, large cheeks, black bushy eyebrows, a clean-cut mouth, curving lips, a square face. If this vast chin was covered with a long beard, can you imagine how splendid that would look in bronze or marble? ME: Up there beside Caesar, Marcus Aurelius, and Socrates. HIM: No. I'd go better between Diogenes the philosopher and Phryne the prostitute. Like one of them I'm impudent, and I happily hang around the houses of the other. ME: Is your health still good? HIM: Yes, normally it is. But it's not so marvelous today. ME: Why's that? There you are with a belly like Silenus and a face... HIM: A face one might mistake for what's behind the belly. That's because the humour which is making my uncle waste away is apparently making his dear nephew fat.  ATE WHEN I HAD A CHANCE AFTER EATING I WAS THIRSTY AND I DRANK SOMETIMES HOWEVER I GREW A BEARD AND WHEN THAT CAME I SHAVED IT OFF ME YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT IT'S THE ONE THING YOU NEED TO BE A WISE MAN HIM THAT'S RIGHT I HAVE A LOFTY WRINKLED FOREHEAD A BURNING EYE A JUTTY NOSE LARGE CHEEKS BLACK BUSHY EYEBROWS A CLEAN CUT MOUTH CURVING LIPS A SQUARE FACE IF THIS VAST CHIN WAS COVERED WITH A LONG BEARD CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW SPLENDID THAT WOULD LOOK IN BRONZE OR MARBLE ME UP THERE BESIDE CAESAR MARGUS AURALIS AND SOCRATES HIM NO I'D GO BETTER BETWEEN DIAGENEES THE PHILOSOPHER AND FRINEY THE PROSTITUTE LIKE ONE OF THEM I'M IMPUDENT AND I HAPPILY HANG AROUND THE HOUSES OF THE OTHER ME IS YOUR HEALTH SO GOOD HIM YES NORMAL IT IS BUT IT'S NOT SO MARVELLOUS TO DAY ME WHY'S THAT THERE YOU ARE WITH A BELLY LIKE SALINAS AND A FACE HIM A FACE ONE MIGHT MISTAKE FOR WHAT'S BEHIND THE BELLY THAT'S BECAUSE THE HUMOUR WHICH IS MAKING MY UNCLE WASTE THE WAVES APPARENTLY MAKING HIS DEAR NEPHEW FAT
