Why, because thee dost call me churlish. Therefore now, if thee doesn’t be off this instant, and tell me quickly what thee want’st, adzookers, woman, I’ll be, here this very instant, trampling thee beneath my feet like a sow her piglings.
ASTAPHIUM
This is indeed right country,
and no mistake; ’tis an abominable and truly a monkey race.
STRATILAX
(holding up his fist.)
Dost thee throw the country in my teeth, when thee hast found a man who’s ashamed of what’s foul?
Hast thee come hither to tempt me with thy decked out bones[*]? Was it for that, shameless slut, thee dyed thy mantle of its smoke-dried colour, or art thee so fine because that thee’s been a stealing?
Come thee towards me then.
ASTAPHIUM
Now you charm me.
STRATILAX
How much I wish I could charm thee.
ASTAPHIUM
You tell a lie.[*]
STRATILAX
Tell me—[*]
