outcry? he said。 I sent away the women mainly in order that they might
not offend in this way; for I have heard that a man should die in
peace。 Be quiet; then; and have patience。
When we heard that; we were ashamed; and refrained our tears; and he
walked about until; as he said; his legs began to fail; and then he
lay on his back; according to the directions; and the man who gave him
the poison now and then looked at his feet and legs; and after a while
he pressed his foot hard and asked him if he could feel; and he
said; no; and then his leg; and so upwards and upwards; and showed
us that he was cold and stiff。 And he felt them himself; and said:
When the poison reaches the heart; that will be the end。 He was
beginning to grow cold about the groin; when he uncovered his face;
for he had covered himself up; and said (they were his last
words)…he said: Crito; I owe a cock to Asclepius; will you remember to
pay the debt? The debt shall be paid; said Crito; is there anything
else? There was no answer to this question; but in a minute or two a
movement was heard; and the attendants uncovered him; his eyes were
set; and Crito closed his eyes and mouth。
Such was the end; Echecrates; of our friend; whom I may truly call
the wisest; and justest; and best of all the men whom I have ever
known。
…THE END…
