Clotho

Then there was a Cynic philosopher, who was to have succumbed to a dinner with

v.1.p.234
Dame Hecate, eked out with sacrificial eggs and a raw cuttle-fish; where is he?

Cynic

Here I stand this long time, my good Clotho. Now what had I done to deserve such a weary spell of life? You gave me pretty nearly a spindleful of it. I often tried to cut the thread and away; but somehow it never would give.

Clotho

I left you as a censor and physician of human frailties: pass on, and good luck to you.

Cynic

No, by Zeus! First let us see our captive safe on board. Your judgement might be perverted by his entreaties.
