Hermes

And who is the stunning gentleman in the purple and the diadem?

v.1.p.120
Lampichus

I am Lampichus, tyrant of Gela.

Hermes

And what is all this splendour doing here, Lampichus?

Lampichus

How! would you have a tyrant come hither stripped?

Hermes

A tyrant! That would be too much to expect. But with a shade we must insist. Off with these things.

Lampichus

There, then:-away goes my wealth.

Hermes

Pomp must go too, and pride; we shall be overfreighted else.

Lampichus

At least let me keep my diadem and robes.

Hermes

No, no; off they come!

Lampichus

Well? That is all, as you see for yourself.

Hermes

There is something more yet: cruelty, folly, insolence, hatred.

Lampichus

There then: I am bare.
