    Bring the tongue hither。

  TRYGAEUS

    Relieve us of your own。

  HIEROCLES

    The libation。

  TRYGAEUS

    Here� �and this into the bargain。 ��He strikes him。��

  HIEROCLES

    You will not give me any meat��

  TRYGAEUS

    We cannot give you any until the wolf unites with the sheep。

  HIEROCLES

    I will embrace your knees。

  TRYGAEUS

    'Tis lost labour�察�good fellow�察�you will never smooth the rough

spikes of the hedgehog。。。e�察�spectators�察�join us in our feast。

  HIEROCLES

    And what am I to do��

  TRYGAEUS

    You�拭�go and eat the Sibyl。

  HIEROCLES

    No�察�by the Earth� �no�察�you shall not eat without me�察�if you do

not give�察�I shall take�察�it's common property。

  TRYGAEUS ��to the SERVANT��

    Strike�察�strike this Bacis�察�this humbugging soothsayer。

  HIEROCLES

    I take to witness。。。。

  TRYGAEUS

    And I also�察�that you are a glutton and an impostor。 ��To the

SERVANT�� Hold him tight and I'll beat the impostor with a stick。

  SERVANT

    You look to that�察�I will snatch the skin from him which he has

stolen from us。

  TRYGAEUS

    Let go that skin�察�you priest from hell� �do you hear� �Oh� �what a

fine crow has come from Oreus� �Stretch your wings quickly for

Elymnium。

    ��HIEROCLES flees。 TRYGAEUS and the SERVANT go into the house。��

  CHORUS ��singing��

    Oh� �joy�察�joy� �no more helmet�察�no more cheese nor onions� �No�察�I

have no passion for battles�察�what I love is to drink with good

comrades in the corner by the fire when good dry wood�察�cut in the

height of the summer�察�is crackling�察�it is to cook pease on the coals

and beechnuts among the embers�察�it is to kiss our pretty Thracian

while my wife is at the bath。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    Nothing is more pleasing�察�when the rain is sprouting our

sowings�察�than to chat with some friend�察�saying�察 �Tell me�察�Comarchides��

what shall we do�拭�I would willingly drink myself�察�while the heavens

are watering our fields。 Come�察�wife�察�cook three measures of beans��

adding to them a little wheat�察�and give us some figs。 Syra� �call Manes

off the fields�察�it's impossible to prune the vine or to align the

ridges�察�for the ground is too wet to´day。 Let someone bring me the

thrush and those two chaffinches�察�there were also some curds and

four pieces of hare�察�unless the cat stole them last evening�察�for I

know not what the infernal noise was that I heard in the house。

Serve up three of the pieces for me�察�slave�察�and give the fourth to

my father。 Go and ask Aeschinades for some myrtle branches with

berries on them�察�and then�察�for it's on the same road�察�invite

Charinades to come and drink with me to the honour of the gods who

watch over our crops。;

  CHORUS ��singing��

    When the grasshopper sings his dulcet tune�察�I love to see the

Lemnian vines beginning to ripen�察�the earliest plant of all。

Likewise I love to watch the fig filling out�察�and when it has

reached maturity I eat it with appreciation�察�exclaiming�察 �Oh��

delightful season� ─�Then too I bruise some thyme and infuse it in

water。 Indeed I grow a great deal fatter passing the summer in this

way。。。。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    。。。than in watching a damned lieutenant with three plumes and

military cloak of crimson�察�very livid indeed�察�he calls it the real

Sardian purple�察�but if he ever has to fight in this cloak he'll dye it

another colour�察�the real Cyzicene yellow�察�he the first to run away��

shaking his plumes like a buff hippalectryon�察�and I am left to do

the real work。 Once back again in Athens�察�these brave fellows behave

abominably�察�they write down these�察�they scratch through others�察�and

this backwards and forwards two or three times at random。 The

departure is set for to´morrow�察�and some citizen has brought no

provisions�察�because he didn't know he had to go�察�he stops in front

of the statue of Pandion�察�reads his name�察�is dumbfounded and starts

away at a run�察�weeping bitter tears。 The townsfolk are less

ill´used�察�but that is how the husbandmen are treated by these men of

war�察�the hated of the gods and of men�察�who know nothing but how to

throw away their shield。 For this reason�察�if it please heaven�察�I

propose to call these rascals to account�察�for they are lions in

times of peace�察�but sneaking foxes when it comes to fighting。

  TRYGAEUS ��coming out of his house�察�followed by the SERVANT��

    Oh� �oh� �what a crowd for the nuptial feast� �Here� �dust the

tables with this crest�察�which is good for nothing else now。 Halloa��

produce the cakes�察�the thrushes�察�plenty of good jugged hare and the

little loaves。

    ��A SICKLE´MAKER enters with a comrade�察�one carries sickles�察�the

      other casks。��

  SICKLE´MAKER

    Trygaeus�察�where is Trygaeus��

  TRYGAEUS

    I am cooking the thrushes。

  SICKLE´MAKER

    Trygaeus�察�my best of friends�察�what a fine stroke of business you

have done for me by bringing back Peace� �Formerly my sickles would not

have sold at an obolus apiece�察�to´day I am being paid fifty drachmae

for every one。 And here is a neighbour who is selling his casks for

the country at three drachmae each。 So come�察�Trygaeus�察�take as many

sickles and casks as you will for nothing。 Accept them for nothing��

it's because of our handsome profits on our sales that we offer you

these wedding presents。

  TRYGAEUS

    Thanks。 Put them all down inside there�察�and come along quick to

the banquet。 Ah� �do you see that armourer yonder coming with a wry

face��

  ��Enter an armourer�察�followed by other personages who represent the

    various specialized trades which have profited by the war�察�a

    crest´maker�察�a manufacturer of breastplates�察�a trumpet´maker�察�a

    helmet´maker�察�a polisher of lances�察�each carries a sample of his

    products。 The armourer is the only one who speaks。��

  ARMOURER

    Alas� �alas� �Trygaeus�察�you have ruined me utterly。

  TRYGAEUS

    What� �won't the crests go any more�察�friend��

  ARMOURER

    You have killed my business�察�my livelihood�察�and that of this

poor lance maker too。

  TRYGAEUS

    Come�察�come�察�what are you asking for these two crests��

  ARMOURER

    What do you bid for them��

  TRYGAEUS

    What do I bid�拭�Oh� �I am ashamed to say。 Still�察�as the clasp is

of good workmanship�察�I would give two�察�even three measures of dried

figs�察�I could use them for dusting the table。

  ARMOURER

    All right�察�tell them to bring me the dried figs。 ��To the

crest´maker�� That's better than nothing�察�my friend。

  TRYGAEUS

    Take them away�察�be off with your crests and get you gone�察�they are

moulting�察�they are losing all their hair�察�I would not give a single

fig for them。

  ARMOURER

    Good gods�察�what am I going to do with this fine ten´mina

breastplate�察�which is so splendidly made��

  TRYGAEUS

    Oh�察�you will lose nothing over it。 Sell it to me at cost price。 It

would be very useful as a thunder´mug。。。

  ARMOURER

    Cease your insults�察�both to me and my wares。

  TRYGAEUS

    。。。if propped on three stones。 ��He sits on it。�� Look�察�it's

admirable

  ARMOURER

    But how can you wipe yourself�察�idiot��

  TRYGAEUS ��with appropriate gestures��

    I can put one hand through here�察�and the other there�察�and so。。。

  ARMOURER

    What� �do you wipe yourself with both hands��

  TRYGAEUS

    Aye�察�so that I may not be accused of robbing the State�察�by

blocking up an oar´hole in the galley。

  ARMOURER

    Would you crap in a thunder´mug that cost ten minae��

  TRYGAEUS

    Undoubtedly�察�you rascal。 Do you think I would sell my arse for a

thousand drachmae��

  ARMOURER

    Come�察�have the money paid over to me。

  TRYGAEUS

    No�察�friend�察�I find it pinches my bottom。 Take it away�察�I won't buy

it。

  ARMOURER

    What is to be done with this trumpet�察�for which I gave sixty

drachmae the other day��

  TRYGAEUS

    Pour lead into the hollow and fit a good�察�long stick to the top��

and you will have a balanced cottabus。

  ARMOURER

    Don't mock me。

  TRYGAEUS

    Well�察�here's another idea。 Pour in lead as I said�察�add here a dish

hung on strings�察�and you will have a balance for weighing the figs

which you give your slaves in the fields。

  ARMOURER

    Cursed fate� �I am ruined。 Here are helmets�察�for which I gave a

mina each。 What I to do with them�拭�who will buy them��

  TRYGAEUS

    Go and sell them to the Egyptians�察�they will do for measuring

laxatives。

  ARMOURER

    Ah� �poor helmet´maker�察�things are indeed in a bad way。

  TRYGAEUS

    He has no cause for complaint。

  ARMOURER

    But helmets will be no more used。

  TRYGAEUS

    Let him learn to fit a handle to them and he can sell them for

more money。

  ARMOURER

    Let us be off�察�comrade。

  TRYGAEUS

    No�察�I want to buy these spears。

  ARMOURER

    What will you give��

  TRYGAEUS

    If they could be split in two�察�I would take them at a drachma

per hundred to use as vine´props。

  ARMOURER

    The insolent dog� �Let us go�察�friend。

                                   ��The munitions´makers all depart。��

  TRYGAEUS ��as some young boys enter��

    Ah I here come the guests�察�young folks from the table to take a

pee�察�I fancy they also want to hum over what they will be singing

presently。 Hi� �child� �what do you reckon to sing�拭�Stand there and give

me the opening line。

  BOY

    ;Glory to the young warriors。。。;

  TRYGAEUS

    Oh� �leave off about your young warriors�察�you little wretch�察�we are

at peace and you are an idiot and a rascal。

  BOY

    ;The skirmish begins�察�the hollow bucklers clash against each

other。;

  TRYGAEUS

    Bucklers� �Leave me in peace with your bucklers。

  BOY

    ;And then there came groanings and shouts of victory。;

  TRYGAEUS

    Groanings� �ah� �by Bacchus� �look out for yourself�察�you cursed

squaller�察�if you start wearying us again with your groanings and

hollow bucklers。

  BOY

    Then what should I sing�拭�Tell me what pleases you。

  TRYGAEUS

    ;'Tis thus they feasted on the flesh of oxen�察─�or something

similar�察�as�察�for instance�察 �Everything that could tickle the palate

was placed on the table。;

  BOY

    ;'Tis thus they feasted on the flesh of oxen and�察�tired of

warfare�察�unharnessed their foaming steeds。;

  TRYGAEUS

    That's splendid�察�tired of warfare�察�they seat themselves at

table�察�sing to us how they still go on eating after they are satiated。

  BOY

    ;The meal over�察�they girded themselves。。。;

  TRYGAEUS

    With good wine�察�no doubt��

  BOY

    ;。。。with armour and rushed forth from the towers�察�and a terrible

shout arose。;

  TRYGAEUS

    Get you gone�察�you little scapegrace�察�you and your battles� �You

sing of nothing but warfare。 Who is your father then��

  BOY

    My father��

  TRYGAEUS

    Why yes�察�your father。

  BOY

    I am Lamachus' son。

  TRYGAEUS

    Oh� �oh� �I could indeed have sworn�察�when I was listening to you��

that you were the son of some warrior�察�who dreams of nothing but

wounds and bruises�察�of some Bulomachus o
