But as many blows as we received before the law was made, we remit: and we concede to them our having been thrashed without return. Observe the cocks and these other animals, how they punish their fathers; and yet, in what do they differ from us, except that they do not write decrees?
Strepsiades.
Why then, since you imitate the cocks in all things, do you not both eat dung and sleep on a perch?
Phidippides.
It is not the same thing, my friend; nor would it appear so to Socrates.
Strepsiades.
Therefore do not beat me; otherwise you will one day blame yourself.
