    Socrates

    Well now, that kind of thing, Callicles, did we say just now, is flattery ?

    Callicles

    Certainly.

    Socrates

    Pray then, if we strip any kind of poetry of its melody, its rhythm and its meter, we get mere speeches as the residue, do we not?

    Callicles

    That must be so.

    Socrates

    Callicles

    Yes.

    Socrates

    Hence poetry is a kind of public speaking.
