Thousands; Philoxenus, Melesias, Amynias.
Socrates.
But, you wretch! These are not masculine.
Strepsiades.
Are they not males with you?
Socrates.
By no means; for how would you call Amynias, if you met him?
Strepsiades.
How would I call? Thus: Come hither, come hither Amynia!
Socrates.
Do you see? You call Amynias a woman.
Strepsiades.
Is it not then with justice, who does not serve in the army? But why should I learn these things, that we all know?
Socrates.
It is no use, by Jupiter! Having reclined yourself down here-
Strepsiades.
What must I do?
Socrates.
Think out some of your own affairs.
Strepsiades.
Not here, pray, I beseech you; but, if I must, suffer me to excogitate these very things on the ground.
Socrates.
There is no other way.
Exit Socrates.
Strepsiades.
Unfortunate man that I am! What a penalty shall I this day pay to the bugs!
700
Chorus.
Now meditate and examine closely; and roll yourself about in every way, having wrapped yourself up; and quickly, when you fall into a difficulty, spring to another
mental contrivance. But let delightful sleep be absent from your eyes.
707
Strepsiades.
Attatai! Attatai!
Chorus.
What ails you? Why are you distressed?
Strepsiades.
Wretched man, I am perishing! The Corinthians, coming out from the bed, are biting me, and devouring my sides, and drinking up my life-blood, and tearing away my flesh, and digging through my vitals, and will annihilate me.
Chorus.
Do not now be very grievously distressed.
Strepsiades.
Why, how, when my money is gone, my complexion gone, my life gone, and my slipper gone?
And furthermore in addition to these evils, with singing the night-watches, I am almost gone myself.
Re-enter Socrates.
Socrates.
Ho you! What are you about? Are you not meditating?
Strepsiades.
I? Yea, by Neptune!
Socrates.
And what, pray, have you thought?
Strepsiades.
Whether any bit of me will be left by the bugs.
Socrates.
You will perish most wretchedly.
Strepsiades.
But, my good friend, I have already perished.
Socrates.
You must not give in, but must wrap yourself up; for you have to discover a device for abstracting, and a means of cheating.
Walks up and down while Strepsiades wraps himself up in the blankets.
Strepsiades.
Ah me! Would, pray, some one would throw over me a swindling contrivance from the sheep-skins.
731
Socrates.
Come now; I will first see this fellow, what he is about. Ho you! Are you asleep?
