CINESIAS ��misunderstanding��
Surely。 there's nothing else。 Come�察�my treasure。
MYRRHINE
I am just unfastening my girdle。 But remember what you promised me
about making peace�察�mind you keep your word。
CINESIAS
Yes�察�yes�察�upon my life I will。
MYRRHINE
Why�察�you have no blanket��
CINESIAS

love��
MYRRHINE ��going out again��
Never fear´directly�察�directly� �I'll be back in no time。
CINESIAS
The woman will kill me with her blankets��
MYRRHINE ��coming back with a blanket��

CINESIAS ��pointing��

MYRRHINE
Wouldn't you like me to scent you��
CINESIAS
No�察�by Apollo�察�no�察�please don't��
MYRRHINE
Yes�察�by Aphrodite�察�but I will�察�whether you like it or not。
��She goes out again。��
CINESIAS
God�察�I wish she'd hurry up and get through with all this��
MYRRHINE ��coming back with a flask of perfume��
Hold out your hand�察�now rub it in。
CINESIAS
Oh� �in Apollo's name�察�I don't much like the smell of it�察�but
perhaps it will improve when it's well rubbed in。 It does not
somehow smack of the marriage bed��
MYRRHINE
Oh dear� �what a scatterbrain I am�察�if I haven't gone and brought
Rhodian perfumes��
CINESIAS
Never mind�察�dearest�察�let it go now。
MYRRHINE
You don't really mean that。
��She goes。��
CINESIAS
Damn the man who invented perfumes��
MYRRHINE ��coming back with another flask��
Here�察�take this bottle。
CINESIAS
I have a better one allready for you�察�darling。 Come�察�you provoking
creature�察�to bed with you�察�and don't bring another thing。
MYRRHINE
Coming�察�coming�察�I'm just slipping off my shoes。 Dear boy�察�will you
vote for peace��
CINESIAS
I'll think about it。 ��MYRRHINE runs away。�� I'm a dead man�察�she
is killing me� �She has gone�察�and left me in torment� 。�in tragic
style�� I must have someone to lay�察�I must� �Ah me� �the loveliest of
women has choused and cheated me。 Poor little lad�察�how am I to give
you what you want so badly�拭�Where is Cynalopex�拭�quick�察�man�察�get him
a nurse�察�do��
LEADER OF CHORUS OF OLD MEN
Poor�察�miserable wretch�察�baulked in your amorousness� �what tortures
are yours� �Ah� �you fill me with pity。 Could any man's back and loins
stand such a strain。 He stands stiff and rigid�察�and there's never a
wench to help him��
CINESIAS
Ye gods in heaven�察�what pains I suffer��
LEADER OF CHORUS OF OLD MEN
Well�察�there it is�察�it's her doing�察�that abandoned hussy��
CINESIAS
No�察�no� �rather say that sweetest�察�dearest darling。
��He departs。��
LEADER OF CHORUS OF OLD MEN
That dearest darling�拭�no�察�no�察�that hussy�察�say I� �Zeus�察�thou god of
the skies�察�canst not let loose a hurricane�察�to sweep them all up
into the air�察�and whirl them round�察�then drop them down crash� �and
impale them on the point of this man's tool��
��A Spartan HERALD enters�察�he shows signs of being in the same
condition as CINESIAS。��
HERALD
Say�察�where shall I find the Senate and the Prytanes�拭�I am bearer
of despatches。
��An Athenian MAGISTRATE enters。��
MAGISTRATE
Are you a man or a Priapus��
HERALD ��with an effort at officiousness��
Don't be stupid� �I am a herald�察�of course�察�I swear I am�察�and I
come from Sparta about making peace。
MAGISTRATE ��pointing��
But look�察�you are hiding a lance under your clothes�察�surely。
HERALD ��embarrassed��
No�察�nothing of the sort。
MAGISTRATE
Then why do you turn away like that�察�and hold your cloak out
from your body�拭�Have you got swellings in the groin from your journey��
HERALD
By the twin brethren� �the man's an old maniac。
MAGISTRATE
But you've got an erection� �You lewd fellow��
HERALD
I tell you no� �but enough of this foolery。
MAGISTRATE ��pointing��
Well�察�what is it you have there then��
HERALD
A Lacedaemonian 'skytale。'
MAGISTRATE
Oh�察�indeed�察�a 'skytale��' is it�拭�Well�察�well�察�speak out frankly�察�I
know all about these matters。 How are things going at Sparta now��
HERALD
Why�察�everything is turned upside down at Sparta�察�and all the
allies have erections。 We simply must have Pellene。
MAGISTRATE
What is the reason of it all�拭�Is it the god Pan's doing��
HERALD
No�察�it's all the work of Lampito and the women who are acting at
her instigation�察�they have kicked the men out from between their
thighs。
MAGISTRATE
But what are you doing about it��
HERALD
We are at our wits' end�察�we walk bent double�察�just as if we were
carrying lanterns in a wind。 The jades have sworn we shall not so much
as touch them till we have all agreed to conclude peace。
MAGISTRATE
Ah� �I see now�察�it's a general conspiracy embracing all Greece。
Go back to Sparta and bid them send envoys plenipotentiary to treat
for peace。 I will urge our Senators myself to name plenipotentiaries
from us�察�and to persuade them�察�why�察�I will show them my own tool。
HERALD
What could be better�拭�I fly at your command。
��They go out in opposite directions。��
LEADER OF CHORUS OF OLD MEN
No wild beast is there�察�no flame of fire�察�more fierce and
untamable than woman�察�the leopard is less savage and shameless。
LEADER OF CHORUS OF WOMEN
And yet you dare to make war upon me�察�wretch�察�when you might
have me for your most faithful friend and ally。
LEADER OF CHORUS OF OLD MEN
Never�察�never can my hatred cease towards women。
LEADER OF CHORUS OF WOMEN
Well�察�suit yourself。 Still I cannot bear to leave you all naked as
you are�察�folks would laugh at you。 Come�察�I am going to put this
tunic on you。
LEADER OF CHORUS OF OLD MEN
You are right�察�upon my word� �it was only in my confounded fit of
rage that I took it off。
LEADER OF CHORUS OF WOMEN
Now at any rate you look like a man�察�and they won't make fun of
you。 Ah� �if you had not offended me so badly�察�I would take out that
nasty insect you have in your eye for you。
LEADER OF CHORUS OF OLD MEN
Ah� �so that's what was annoying me so Look�察�here's a ring�察�just
remove the insect�察�and show it to me。 By Zeus� �it has been hurting
my eye for a long time now。
LEADER OF CHORUS OF WOMEN
Well�察�I agree�察�though your manners are not over and above
pleasant。 Oh I what a huge great gnat� �just look� �It's from
Tricorythus�察�for sure。
LEADER OF CHORUS OF OLD MEN
A thousand thanks� �the creature was digging a regular well in my
eye�察�now that it's gone�察�my tears can flow freely。
LEADER OF CHORUS OF WOMEN
I will wipe them for you´bad�察�naughty man though you are。 Now��
just one kiss。
LEADER OF CHORUS OF OLD MEN
A kiss�拭�certainly not
LEADER OF CHORUS OF WOMEN
Just one�察�whether you like it or not。
LEADER OF CHORUS OF OLD MEN
Oh� �those confounded women� �how they do cajole us� �How true the
saying�此 ─�'Tis impossible to live with the baggages�察�impossible to
live without 'em� ─�Come�察�let us agree for the future not to regard
each other any more as enemies�察�and to clinch the bargain�察�let us sing
a choric song。
COMBINED CHORUS OF WOMEN AND OLD MEN ��singing��
We desire�察�Athenians�察�to speak ill of no man�察�but on the
contrary to say much good of everyone�察�and to do the like。 We have had
enough of misfortunes and calamities。 If there is any man or woman who
wants a bit of money´two or three minas or so�察�well�察�our purse is
full。 If only peace is concluded�察�the borrower will not have to pay
back。 Also I'm inviting to supper a few Carystian friends�察�who are
excellently well qualified。 I have still a drop of good soup left�察�and
a young porker I'm going to kill�察�and the flesh will be sweet and
tender。 I shall expect you at my house to´day�察�but first away to the
baths with you�察�you and your children�察�then come all of you�察�ask no
one's leave�察�but walk straight up�察�as if you were at home�察�never fear��
the door will be。。。 shut in your faces��
LEADER OF CHORUS OF OLD MEN
Ah� �here come the envoys from Sparta with their long flowing
beards�察�why�察�you would think they wore pigstyes between their thighs。
��Enter the LACONIAN ENVOYS afflicted like their herald。�� Hail to you��
first of all�察�Laconians�察�then tell us how you fare。
