Socrates offers a prayer upon departing the tree and place that he and Phaedrus have been speaking at...
SOCRATES: Should we not offer up a prayer first of all to the local deities?
PHAEDRUS: By all means.
SOCRATES: Beloved Pan, and all ye other gods who haunt this place, give me beauty in the inward soul; and may the outward and inward man be at one. May I reckon the wise to be the wealthy, and may I have such a quantity of gold as a temperate man can bear and carry.
--Anything more?
The prayer, I think, is enough for me.
PHAEDRUS: Ask the same for me, for friends should have all things in
common.
SOCRATES: Let us go.
