Hah! hah! Hail! Lamachippus!

LAMACHUS
Woe is me!

DICAEOPOLIS (to the one girl)
Why do you kiss me?

LAMACHUS
Ah, wretched me!

DICAEOPOLIS (to the other girl)
And why do you bite me?

LAMACHUS
'Twas a cruel score I was paying back!

DICAEOPOLIS
Scores are not evened at the Feast of Cups!

LAMACHUS
Oh Oh! Paean, Paean!

DICAEOPOLIS
But to-day is not the feast of Paean.

LAMACHUS (to the soldiers)
Oh take hold of my leg, do; ah I hold it tenderly, my friends!

DICAEOPOLIS (to the girls)
And you, my darlings, take hold of my tool, both of you!

LAMACHUS
This blow with the stone makes me dizzy; my sight grows dim.

DICAEOPOLIS
For myself, I want to get to bed; I've got an erection and I

want to make love in the dark.
LAMACHUS

Carry me to the surgeon Pittalus. Put me in his healing hands!
DICAEOPOLIS

Take me to the judges. Where is the king of the feast? The
wine-skin is mine!

LAMACHUS (as he is being carried away)
That spear has pierced my bones; what torture I endure!

DICAEOPOLIS (to the audience)
You see this empty cup! I triumph! I triumph!

CHORUS
Old man, I come at your bidding! You triumph! you triumph!

DICAEOPOLIS
Again I have brimmed my cup with umnixed wine and drained it at

a draught!
CHORUS

You triumph then, brave champion; thine is the wine-skin!
DICAEOPOLIS

Follow me, singing "Triumph! Triumph!"
CHORUS

Aye! we will sing of thee, thee and thy sacred wine-skin, and we
all, as we follow thee, will repeat in thine honour, "Triumph,

Triumph!
-THE END-
