Excerpt from The Consolation of Philosophy of Boethius Boethius' complaint (song I). - ch. I Philosophy appears to Boethius, drives away the Muses of Poetry, and herself laments (song II) the dis ordered condition of his mind - ch. II Boethius is speechless with amazement. Philosophy wipes away the tears that have clouded his eyesight. Oh. III Boethius recognizes his mistress Philoso phy. To his wondering inquiries she explains her presence, and recalls to his mind the persecu tions to which Philosophy has oftentimes from of old been subjected by an ignorant world. Oh. IV: Philosophy bids Boethius declare his griefs. He relates the story of his unjust accusa tion and ruin. He concludes with a prayer (song V) that the moral disorder in human afiairs may be set right - oh. V Philosophy admits the justice of Boethius' self-vindication, but grieves rather for the unhappy change in his mind. She will first tranquillize his spirit by soothing reme dies - ch. VI Philosophy tests Boethius' mental state by certain questions, and discovers three chief causes of his soul's sickness (1) He has for gotten his own true nature; (2) he knows not the end towards which the whole universe tends (3) he knows not the means bv which the world is governed.
