Philosophy bids Boethius declare his griefs. He relates the story of his unjust accusation and ruin. He concludes with a prayer (Song V.) that the moral disorder in human affairs may be set right. In the analysis: on the competition between Dionysus and Apollo; The Ass and The Lyre; Boethius’ similarities to the Book of Job.
