I’m vexed that I haven’t a stone, to knock out the brains of that whip-scoundrel, who’s driving me to madness by his taunts.TYNDARUS Don’t you hear that he’s looking for a stone?ARISTOPHONTES I wish to speak with you alone, separately, Hegio.HEGIO Speak from where you are, if you want anything; though at a distance, I shall hear you.TYNDARUS Yes, for, by my faith, if you approach nearer, he’ll be taking your nose off with his teeth.ARISTOPHONTES By heavens, Hegio, don’t you believe that I am mad, or that I ever was so, or that I have the malady which that fellow avers. But if you fear anything from me, order me to be bound; I wish it, so long as that fellow is bound as well.
