something.

YOUNG SOCRATES: What is it?

STRANGER: A vehicle, which is certainly not the work of the Statesman,

but of the carpenter, potter, and coppersmith.

YOUNG SOCRATES: I understand.

STRANGER: And is there not a fourth class which is again different, and

in which most of the things formerly mentioned are contained,--every

kind of dress, most sorts of arms, walls and enclosures, whether of

earth or stone, and ten thousand other things? all of which being made

for the sake of defence, may be truly called defences, and are for the

most part to be regarded as the work of the builder or of the weaver,

rather than of the Statesman.

YOUNG SOCRATES: Certainly.

STRANGER: Shall we add a fifth class, of ornamentation and drawing, and

of the imitations produced by drawing and music, which are designed for

amusement only, and may be fairly comprehended under one name?

YOUNG SOCRATES: What is it?

STRANGER: Plaything is the name.
