[57]
Neither am I now finding fault with any one of those who keep company with
you, for this also seems to me one element of your general good fortune, that
you have found no base admirer, but select as friends from the young men of your
own age such only as any man would gladly choose. I urge you, however, while
being friendly and agreeable to all of these, to heed those of them who have the
most sense, so that you may seem even more worthy of respect to this particular
group and to the rest of the citizens. Farewell.
