CLOTHO

Where is the philosopher Cyniscus, who was to die from eating the dinner of Hecate and the lustral eggs and a raw squid besides?[*]

CYNISCUS

Ihave been standing at your elbow a long time, kind Clotho. What have I done that you should leave me on earth so long? Why, you nearly ran off your whole spindle for me! In spite of that, I have often tried to cut the thread and come, but somehow or other it could not be broken.

CLOTHO

I left you behind to observe and prescribe for the sins of man. But get aboard, and good luck to you.:

CYNISCUS

No, by Heaven, not till we have put this man in fetters aboard. I am afraid he may come it over you with his entreaties.
