Menippus

Well, you scum of your respective nations, let there be no misunderstanding: I am going on just the same. Wherever

v.1.p.110
you are, there shall I be also; worrying, jeering, singing you down.

Croesus

Presumption!

Menippus

Not a bit of it. Yours was the presumption, when you expected men to fall down before you, when you trampled on mens liberty, and forgot there was such a thing as death. Now comes the weeping and gnashing of teeth: for all is lost!

Croesus

Lost! Ah God! My treasure-heapp——

Midas

My gold——

Sardanapalus

My little comforts——

Menippus

Thats right: stick to it! You do the whining, and I'll chime in with a string of cnotHi-saurons, best of accompaniments,
