By my troth, I really do believe they are without any ill design.
PHILOXENUS
This happens to us deservedly, for having come here.
1st BACCHIS
Well, let them be driven in-doors to fold[*].
2nd BACCHIS
I don’t know what occasion there is for that, as they have neither milk nor wool. Let them stand as they are.
Of whatever value they have been, they are now out of date; all their fruit has fallen off them by this. Don’t you see, how, straying unattended, they are ranging about at liberty? Why, I fancy that they must be dumb with age; they don’t bleat even, though they are absent from the rest of the flock.
They seem both silly and worthless.
1st BACCHIS
Let’s return in-doors, sister.
NICOBULUS
Stay where you are, both of you; these sheep want you.
2nd BACCHIS
Why, surely this is a prodigy; sheep are addressing us with a human voice.
PHILOXENUS
These sheep will return you the heavy and great injury which they owe to you.
1st BACCHIS
If you owe me aught, I forgive it you; keep it to yourself; I’ll never demand it of you. But what is the reason that you are threatening mischief to us?
PHILOXENUS
Because they say that our two lambs are shut up here.
